Prom Hair Styles for Long Hair

Special hairstyles are always the demand for the prom night. Prom hairstyles for long hair look the best when you have washed and conditioned it before your big day. One of the top prom hairstyles for long hair is a bun, a messy bun, a French bun or a traditional chignon. For a perfect bun just use a wide toothed comb to brush out your hair and apply some hair gel. Then gather your hair in a loose ponytail and twist it into a bun and secure it with some pins, spruce it up with some matching accessories and set it in place by spraying some hairspray. You could loosen a few tendrils of hair from the sides of your head. You could also change this bun a little and gather the hair in a ponytail and twist it till the end and lift it upwards to form a tight roll at the back of your head. Fix this roll with some jeweled hair pins to keep it straight and secure. If you have pin straight long hair or wavy long hair you could brush it lightly and leave it loose with just a small ornate comb or a barrette on one side.

Long sleek curls give a very feminine and attractive appearance at formal occasions. There are some easy and striking prom hairstyles for long curly hair. If you are blessed with natural curls make sure you conditions and brush your hair well before you style it. If you want to curl your tresses with small ringlets you could use flat irons or curling irons to do it. Once your curls are ready pull them all back in a high ponytail and tie it with a band or a ribbon tightly. Then use clips and secure strands of hair by twisting them lightly and clipping them into your hair, just about an inch above the hair band. This will give an appearance of a loose but very appealing bun. Other than this, you could also gather your hair up and coil it loosely on the top of your head and fix it with pins and use a hair spray to keep it in place.

Just make sure that your hair style matches with your gown, so you could do a trial round with your friends the day before.
