Prom Hairstyles for 2022

Prom is easily one of the most memorable milestones of your teens. The dress, the shoes, the date, and most importantly, the hair have got to be just right!

Whether you are looking for prom styles for short, medium, and long hair the options are limitless. There are tons of fun, elegant, and trendy hairstyles to explore for the upcoming prom season. From curls, to braids, to fancy updos, we are here to guide you on what styles can make you look and feel fierce on the night.

Whatever you have in mind for the night, Belle Amour is here to bring your vision to life. Our expert stylists have years of experience creating showstopping hairstyles, sure to make you the belle of the ball.

Classic updo

Suitable for medium to long hair, a classic twisted updo is a go-to hairstyle for prom. Like actress Sadie Sink, you can opt for sleeker styling in the front whilst incorporating hair accessories for added detail to the twisted style in the back.

The best thing about this style is its versatility. For a more relaxed and tousled look, the hair can be curled for added texture and to create more relaxed twists. You can also add face-framing pieces and falling tendrils in the back for an effortlessly and softer style.

Below, our talented stylists created these elegant and classic prom updos. With face-framing tendrils, volume at the crown, and loosely twisted knots and braids.

Bringing Back The 00’s

It’s no secret that early noughties fashion is currently having a style renaissance. The span of this rebirth appears to fall between trends from 1997 to 2003, also applying to the fittingly named ‘prom hair.’ This popular style consisted of a high bun with face-framing front tendrils.

However, unlike the first time around, this hairstyle has experienced a glow up! Instead of the crispy, over flat ironed version of the past, the look has evolved with face-framing tendrils that fall just below the chin. This subtle change helps to effectively frame the face, while a slicked-back high bun adds youthful fullness to the face.

Should you choose to replicate this style, draw inspiration from the likes of Dua Lipa and Alex Demi. Dua Lipa uses thick face-framing tendrils in the image below, straightened for a sleek and striking look. Here, the look is freshened with some modern magic by adding highlights and a spikey bun for added edge.

Add more texture by waving or curling the hair for a slightly softer take on this style. This subtle difference demonstrated by Alexa Demi is the perfect high-fashion twist on the classic 00s prom hair.

Old Hollywood Waves

Like reigning prom queen Oliva Rodrigo, classic Hollywood waves make a showstopping style statement. This timeless look is beautiful, classy, and fun, suiting most dress types and hair lengths.

Whether your venue rolls out the red carpet or not, your hair will be worthy of one with this style. Glamourous Hollywood waves will inject an air of sophistication into your look. At Belle Amour, our stylists can recreate this classic look by curling all your hair in one direction, to then carefully smooth out and combine each curl into neat Hollywood waves.

When accompanied by a fresh cut, highlights or balayage, this style brings attention to the subtle tonal shifts in your hair. To accompany your soft waves, braids can be incorporated for a stunning half up half down look, as seen below.

Edgy Styles To Break the Mould

Here at Belle Amour, we understand that sometimes trends are meant to be broken. For those looking to stand out from the crowd or let simply let their personality shine through, why not try out an edgier updo? Deviate from tradition and compliment your own personal style.

Below is an example of what our team at Belle Amour can create. Using a combination of different braids alongside voluminous curls, we can produce a lasting style that is truly unique. Viking inspired, the look below pushes creative boundaries and can be adapted by our stylists to suit a variety of hair lengths.

A softer take on this is shown below.

For something just as head-turning with a slightly softer touch, this mermaid-inspired half up half down do is perfect for prom. With twists to create volume on top and lose braids carefully pinned to form roses, this romantic style befits any prom queen!

Those enticed by a vintage aesthetic can opt for a timeless and classy updo, with volume at the crown and subtle, elegant twists to keep the hair in place all night long.
