Prom 2009 Hairstyles
Every girl fusses over the classic prom up-do for prom 2009. Why focus so much on putting your hair up when you can let everyone see how beautiful your hair is? Let it flow. Add some curls or waves like Vanessa Hudgens did. She pulled off this look suitable for prom. Save yourself some time and money with this gorgeous hairstyle for Prom 2009.
Best of all, if you have short hair, you don't have to worry about trying to pull your hair up into an up-do. You can leave it down and just add a few curls or waves.
Still not convinced that this is the right look for prom? Try adding a tiara! Many girls are afraid to wear tiaras to their first prom because they don't want people to think they think they are the prom queen. Truth is, when you arrive at your first prom - you will see many girls wearing tiaras. And why shouldn't you wear a tiara? You don't have to be the prom queen to feel like royalty. This is your night. And if you want to feel like a princess, you should.
We tested out this hair down for prom look, and think it looks absolutely fabulous. Best of all, you don't need to spend a lot of money at a salon. You can curl your own hair or have your mom, sister, of BFF do it for you! Just be sure to add enough hairspray or mousse so the curls last all night. Hair down with waves or curls also goes perfectly with any dress - so keep that in mind too.
Whichever hairstyle you shall choose, stay confident and don't forget to bring your smile to prom.

As you can see, Models Jill and Kayce have left their hair down and added some waves. They then incorporated some beautiful tiaras for that finishing prom touch.
To easily achieve this hairstyle:
Add some rollers / curlers to your damp hair. For smaller curls, use smaller sections of hair. For larger curls or waves, use larger sections of hair.
Keep the rollers in your hair for 8-12 hours.
The longer you keep them in, the better your results will be. Sleeping with them in your hair overnight will give you the best results. Once your hair has dried completely, you might even want to blow-dry the curlers with high heat. Heat makes curls stay in longer. Take out the curlers, and don't be alarmed if they aren't perfect. Add some mousse, gel, or hairspray to calm them down. You can also use a curling iron to add more curls if you don't have enough.
So you still want to put your hair up in a prom up-do?
Here is a beautiful up-do to try. To get this look:
You should curl your hair first - follow the steps above if you aren't sure how.
Leave your bangs and two sections of hair in the front down, and pull the rest of your hair back into a ponytail.
Then add a secure clip on the underside of the ponytail, making your curls fountain out of the clip.
Finish with some hairspray.
This prom hairstyle will go with just about any dress - no matter how casual or fancy it is.

Another great prom hairstyle for long hair to try is to simply pull your hair back (with a side part).
Put it in a tight, low ponytail.
Then literally tie your hair in a knot.
Once you have your knot, take the hair that hangs down and clip it underneath your ponytail with pins or clips.


Try this super gorgeous hairstyle, perfect for prom. Pull your hair up securing it with clips.
Your hair should be pre-curled before you do this but you'll need to add spiral curls with a curling iron after your hair is securley cliped in place.
Leave your front hair down in front of your ears and curl only the ends.
As for men, they can simply gel their hair and leave it look messy or neat. It is much easier for men with short hair to get the perfect prom hair.
