The style of your prom dress reveals your attitude and mood, so, your formal hairstyle should also do the same.

If you like a flirty, cute look, you might opt for a short dress with an empire waist, or a strapless bubble dress. Match your dress with a cute formal hairstyle that has been styled into loose, natural waves. Look at celebrity hairstyles to get ideas for yourself for prom.

If the dress you choose for your prom is a bit daring, like a strapless or off-the-shoulder dress, you’ll want a sexy hairstyle to go along with the dress. Perhaps you can try a hairstyle with part of your hair up and part of it down, with waves at the shoulder.

If you want to show off a hippie, casual look, you might choose a flowing, long dress with an embroidered bodice. A prom hairstyle like this will look great if you want to take a step back from the formal look.

You can even wear an emo prom hairstyle, which is a real show-stopper. Not everyone can pull this off. Wear a black dress with a layered skirt and a lovely bodice, as well as an emo hairstyle like Twilight’s Kristen Stewart wears.

For the best in glamorous prom hairstyles, you’ll want your hair to look classic, sophisticated and uncluttered. You don’t need to be extravagant or daring, just graceful and subtle. Think Angelina Jolie at the 2009 Oscars. Wear a strapless, form-fitting gown, with your hair pulled elegantly back to show off your face and neck.

Above all else, choose a prom hairstyle that fits the mood of your dress. A lot of different dresses may look great, but you’ll want to be sure that you are comfortable when wearing one. The colour of your dress should complement the look of your formal hairstyle as well.
