Many pictures of popular prom hairstyles and helpful information to achieve these styles to help you to be a smash hit at your prom.

What a sweet look for a special occasion, prom, or everyday, and this young woman here has just the one.

Her honey blonde hair is slicked back and held tightly to the scalp as it is brought to the back of the head and secured into a ponytail and then formed into a neat bun. Her bangs are sectioned off and pulled to the side and with the help of strong hold hairspray, it stays in place. A pretty white ribbon is tied around the bun and a bow is created on top. Her red and black polka dot strapless dress and white pearls along with red earrings are a perfect way to celebrate a classic 1950's look. Her black eyeliner extends past the eyes for a flirtatious spark.

What a lovely way to do up the hair and braids are a perfect example of a timeless style that dates way back.

This style showcases one long braid that starts at the front and winds its way around the side of the head and comes behind one ear and goes down the neck and over the shoulder. This is a beautiful choice for a strapless dress and a toga style dress. This young woman has medium brown hair color and somewhat fair skin.

This one would be nice for a Holiday Party or a school dance or other festive occasion and boasts a pretty updo by Amy Adams.


She starts with a ponytail that sits high on the crown and then it fans out and is secured down at the base of the head. This makes for a pretty style that pulls all strands away from the face with a slicked back appeal. Her honey blonde color catches the light at AFI Fest 2012 – "On the Road" Gala Screening.

This updo is pretty and it uses twists to bring the front sections around to the back where they act to hold the back fringe that dangles down the neck like a partial updo.
