She has pulled her hair up in a loose updo and secured it using bobbypins. Her long bangs are parted in the middle and brushed to the side to frame her face. Her headband is medium in width and graces the crown of her head and is a lovely pink color which is a nice accent to her blonde hair.

The possibilities are endless with headbands and other hair accessories. Headbands come in thin, medium, and wide widths and there are many color optoins. You could choose a color that closely matches your dress and have it be an extension of one continuous look, or a contrasting color will bring emphasis to the headband and your hairstyle.

Choosing a hairstyle for a big event like prom can be stressful, but try to relax and have fun with it. There are many great hairstyles whether you choose to wear your hair up or down, long or short. Hair accessories can help to add a little pizzazz.
