Half updo

Get the best of both worlds by pairing loose locks with a more formal style to create this simple half updo. Take your top section of hair and pin into a subtle bouffant, then style the rest of your tresses into soft waves for an easy hairstyle worthy of a prom queen. 

Tip: Embellish with a jewelled hair clip to take your look one step further.

Braided pony

There’s nothing easier than pulling your hair back into a ponytail – and prom night is no exception. Dress up your pony with waves and chunky accent braids for a look that makes a strong impact but doesn’t demand lots of styling time. Simply create waves in your locks with the ghd curve® classic wave wand and then plait two thick braids before sweeping back.

Mermaid Waves

Mesmerise your classmates with a dazzling waterfall of mermaid waves. Plucked straight out of a fairy tale, this style is perfect for prom night. The look is easy to create with the ghd curve® creative curl wand. Curl 1-inch sections of your locks in different directions, then brush them out with your fingers once cool.

Accent braid

All it takes is an accent braid to elevate your prom hair to new heights. Blended with loose waves, you’ll walk into the room feeling like you’re gracing the red carpet. Keep it simple with a classic three-strand technique. Or, if you’ve got a knack for French braids, show off your skills with a more intricate plait along the edge of your hairline.

Tip: For prom hair perfection, finish this look with small jewelled hair clips pinned into the twist.
