Tips for Short Prom Hairstyle 2012

 

Special events like prom call for special hairstyles. Spring is a sign of good things to come and one of those is a special night that every teenage girl dreams of. That special night is prom and you want it to be the most unforgettable night in your life so far. Read on for some wonderful short hairstyle ideas to help make it a night to remember.


 
If you are a girl who likes vintage short hairstyles and you are inspired by the feminine looks of days gone by, then you may consider a very feminine updo idea for long straight hair. This hairstyle looks fabulous with bangs and here is how.

Take locks of hair on both sides of your head starting at the temple. Roll the locks towards your head and back at the same time. While you are rolling incorporate more locks of hair until you have added all of your hair. At the back of your head fold the hair up and secure it with bobby pins and then add a couple of jeweled barrettes to finish the look. The rolls of hair in the back should gently hang down a bit to just touch the bottom of your neck. There you have yourself a nice feminine look for prom.

A modern day look for your special event would include the use of some hair accessories and for this look we will be using a headband. This look is best with straightened long hair and it will be pulled back into a modern day ponytail. This look is great with or without bangs, but if you do have bangs, they look best if they are brushed to the side.



To get this great prom short hairstyle, start with straightened hair and back comb the underneath layers in the back of the crown of the head. This will add height to the back and then gently comb the top layer of hair smooth while pulling hair back into a low ponytail that is secured at the nape of the neck. Place a narrow headband that matches your dress high on the head. Now, using a headband that contrasts in color with your hair color will add more drama and presence to your look.

Now, if you have short hair, you can also use a headband accessory to spice up your look. A bob hairstyle that is shorter in the back and longer in the front is a cute angled look that would look great with the addition of a headband. You could experiment with wide and narrow headbands and different colors as well until you find the look you are after.
