Sophisticated Hairstyles for Prom
1. Mermaid Crown
The intricacy and structure of a fishtail braid is softened by the pulled apart and messy flyaways in this red carpet-worthy style. There are few hairstyles as classic as a braided crown and this particular incarnation makes the most of the fishtail trend. Heavy duty hold is key when it comes to creating a look that depends on messiness and the Suave Professionals Luxe Style Infusion Plump Hold Hairspray will keep your style in place all night. Create two fishtail braids and wrap them around the front of your head. Pin them into place, pull out a few loose strands around the bottom, and spray the style to ensure that it will survive the dance floor.
2. Messy Updo
This is another style that capitalizes on your natural texture and still manages to look sophisticated and sleek. Creating a deep side part and gathering your hair into a low messy bun is a relatively simple style that’s taken up a notch by embracing intentional frizz. A tiny bit of back-combing at your roots after you secure your bun will give you the perfect amount of subtle drama.
3. Dramatic Updo
Start by combing a drop of the Nexxus New York Salon Care Infinite Nourishing Hair Oil throughout the ends of your hair to add some extra shine. Then, back-comb your roots at the crown of your head until you’ve reached about two inches of volume. Smooth out the top layer and gather all of your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Coil the strands of the ponytail around your base and pin them into place.
