2007 Prom Hairstyles

Your hairstyle can make or break your whole look - especially on prom night. So plan ahead to find a style that's perfect for you, whether it's sexy and glamorous or simple and casual.

Prom Hairstyles - Glamorous Updo

Jessica Alba steps out with a glamorous updo.

Upswept hair is traditional and glamorous. It's tricky though, so be prepared to fork over some dough for a trip to the hair salon. If you're strapped for cash, ask your mom to help put your hair up into a french twist. Just remember to wash your hair the night before, as updos work best with unwashed hair (squeaky clean hair is too slippery to stay up and stay put).

Prom Hairstyles - Slicked Back

Rachel Bilson keeps it casual with a pretty hairband.

If you're not the type of girl who worries about hair #394 being out of place, then this is the choice for you. This no muss, no fuss hairstyle works on both long and short tresses. All you have to do is pull your hair back into a bun, slick down any flyaways with gel and put on a pretty hairband.

Prom Hairstyles - Romantic Curls

Rihanna's waves give her a romantic look.

Curls and waves give a romantic touch to your prom dress. Girls who are blessed with curls won't have to put forth too much effort, but if your hair is straight, then use big, hot rollers to give your hair volume. Finger comb your hair once you're done because you'll lose your curls if you use a brush. The key to this hairstyle is to create soft waves, not tight ringlets.

Prom Hairstyles - Straight and Sleek

Straight and sleek is sexy for Amanda Bynes.

Straight and sleek is totally sexy, but your hair must be in healthy condition - that means no split ends! Pin-straight hair takes a little prep work. Smooth a straightening lotion on freshly washed hair and then use a flat iron to get rid of any puffiness. Don't clamp down on one section for more than 10 seconds because you could damage your hair. Finally, dab on some hair gloss to add extraordinary shine.

Prom Hairstyles - Short Crops

Glam up your hair with killer accessories! You can place a pretty flower behind your ear or wear a dazzling tiara. If that's not your thing, then try using a curling iron to flip out the ends of your pixie cut, or use gel to spike it up for an edgy effect. Aside from being easy to style, short crops are great for showing off your sparkling earrings and necklace.
