Best Prom Hairstyles For All Hair-Types In 2009

Proms are special occasions when you want to be the center of attention. The right prom hairstyle can enhance one’s appearance enormously.  However, selecting the right hairstyle for a prom can be confusing. There are many factors to consider before asking one’s hair-stylist to transform one’s hair. One has to keep in mind one’s hair length, texture, hair-type, facial shape and complexion to pick the right prom hairdo. There are additional aspects like the prom dress (its neckline and length) and accessories that need consideration.  The latest prom hairstyles (2009) are a colorful fashion statement encompassing an entire array of different kinds of hairdos – both classy and chic.

 

Prom Hairstyles For Long And Straight Hair

 

Long and straight hair, when arranged in the right manner can do wonders for a prom look. But classic hairstyles and prom updos are evergreen and popular today. A ‘classic Chignon’ is an ideal prom choice provided one has medium or long straight hair. It looks graceful and sophisticated and goes well with an elegant prom gown. People who want a slightly more causal prom look can opt for side-swept bangs, loose and wavy bangs and a ‘half up/half down’ hairdo. When it comes to ‘bangs,’ one hairdo that stands out in 2009 prom hairstyles is the ‘sassy-messy updo.’ It provides a carefree, unfussy look and appears beautiful at the same time. The long side-swept bangs can be streaked with a tinge of hair color. The hair side-sections can be rolled back and arranged loosely so that they emerge like a cluster of silky hair-hoops. Side-parted hairstyles along with proper hair accessories can really highlight the best features of straight and silky textured hair.

 

Prom Hairstyles For Curly Hair

 

Curly hair has a different appeal altogether. When adorned with the perfect hairdo, it can look amazingly sensual and attractive. ‘Pinned-up ringlets’ is an all-time favorite prom hair-do. It is a prominent choice among the 2009 curly prom hairstyles. In this style one’s curls are basically pinned from the crown of one’s head to drop down seductively to one’s lower neck and shoulders. Hair accessories like small crowns go very well along with this style. For shorter curls, one can opt for a ‘tousled-curl’ style that looks refined and classy.

 

Prom Hairstyles For Short Hair

 

Several new trends are doing rounds for short prom hairstyles this year. Popular among them are ‘short-braids’ and ‘bob or blunt-cuts’ and ‘pixie’ styles. By and large, a ‘pixie’ hairstyle is being flaunted by most women in current prom parties. It is funky, cool and hip at the same time. ‘Blunt fringe’ cut is yet another hairdo that is being tried frequently. Depending on one’s skin complexion, these cuts can have a splendid effect especially on ash-blonde hair color.

 

However, it is always advisable to get in touch with a good hair-expert prior to any type of experimentation.
