Prom 2012… Hair Trends

Whether you have long hair or short hair, want your hair in an up-do, half- do, or down the number one trend for prom this year are big messy curls.  These curls are incredibly stylish, yet no matter how you style them your hair will not have to be shellacked into place.

Half-up/ Half-down:  This look is the most popular for prom 2012.  With this pinned back hair style, you can have both the drama of an up-do in a barrette, headband, or vintage broach, yet you still show off the length of your hair– let’s face it we all know guys like to see hair down.  Don’t hesitate to add some extensions for additional length!!

Side Swept Hair: This hair style makes you look different from either side and is great if you want to show off an incredible pair of earrings!  With hair swept to one side, you show off the length of your hair and have the drama of showing some skin.  You can either pull hair off  to the side in a ponytail, or just pink it back with a bunch of bobby pins.

The Side Bun:  Imperfect is perfect for this look.  Because you don’t want your hair to be perfect for this look, make sure your hair stylist pulls out a few stands along the side of the face.  This hairstyle works great with a low back dress and smokey eyes!

Braids:  Braids are very popular this year and there are so many variations, including the fishtail, the braided bun, and a slim braid hidden in a mass of curls.
