Stunning Prom Hairstyle Ideas for Short Hair

Pin Curls

We love a retro moment and these flapper-esque pin curls are a fun tribute to the roaring ’20s. Green highlights give the style a modern edge.

Butterfly Locs

Butterfly locs are a stunning protective style for natural hair that is perfect for prom night. This curly-looped style works beautifully in a bob length. 

A Headband or Tiara

Channel your inner goddess by topping off your prom ‘fit with a statement hair accessory, such as the gold leaf headband. Whether you have a lob or a pixie cut, you can try this look.

Half-Up, Half-Down

A half-up, half-down style is a classic for a reason. Simple yet stunning, this is a great way to pull your hair off of your face without committing to a full updo.  

Tousled Curls

Keep it simple with effortlessly pretty tousled curls or waves. This soft style would go with any dress. Control frizz throughout the night and protect your hair from heat damage by styling your curls with the Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine 10-in-1 Leave-In Spray. 

Face-Framing Highlights

What better time to experiment with your hair color than prom night? Contrasted with dark hair, these blonde, face-framing highlights make quite the statement.

An Embellished Barrette

Sweep your hair back into an embellished barrette for a quick and elegant prom hairstyle. Look for pearl or jewel-encrusted ones that match the details of your outfit.
