Prom Hairstyles that you can do For Short Hair

Prom is about celebrating the end of the school year, having a fun time with a date and our friends, and having a great occasion to get all-dolled-up and look our absolute best. Once we’ve found the perfect dress it’s time to decide on a glamorous hairstyle. Prom hairstyle suggestions always seem to think that every girl has long hair that can be curled, braided, and chignoned. For those girls with short hair, rather it’s an edgy pixie of a wavy bob; we have gorgeous and versatile options for your prom night.

A Sleek and Straight Bob Hairstyle

There is a good chance that you are already wearing a jaw-dropping dress so you don’t need your hair overdone. Also, chic and simple hairstyles are effortlessly glamorous. If you have a bob rather it’s chin-skimming or slightly longer then try a deep side part and style your hair ultra-straight.

A Wavy Modern Bob Can be Worn to the Prom

The bob is perhaps the trendiest hairstyle right now, but today’s bob isn’t as structured or severe as the traditional bob. Create a lot of texture by curling your hair with a large-barrel curling iron but keep them loose and wavy. If you want to add something extra then pull back one or both sides with a stylish barrette.

The Flipped Out Bob

This 1960’s-inspired bob hairstyle is a great option for those with short to medium length hair and want to really spice up their look. Create lots of volume around the crown, if you don’t have bangs you can simply sweep your hair to one side and create the illusion of face-framing fringe. The bigger and bolder the flip is – the better.

Vintage-Inspired Curls

Hair trends come and go, and right now short hair is ‘in’. So why not take inspiration from previous decades when short hair was a favorite.

Retro Twiggy-Inspired Pixie

Some hairstyles are simply made famous by the women who wore it first, wore it best, or made it revolutionary such as the famous “Rachel” inspired by Jennifer Aniston’s hairdo on Friends. The 1960’s supermodel Twiggy,  revolutionized and modernized the Audrey Hepburn pixie by making it 1960’s-chic. If you have a simple but glamorous dress and a pixie haircut then this look is stunning for prom. A combed-over and straight pixie will make your eyes pop, highlight your bone structure, and emphasize your dress.
