Prom season is right around the corner, which means teenaged girls are thinking about dresses, makeup, and, of course, hairstyles. To get the trendiest hairstyles this year, finding a good hairstylist is key when it comes to combing through this year’s prom hair trends. Fortunately, talented professionals, like the stylists at 151 Hair Company in Onalaska, WI, can offer advice on which style is right for you. 

2017’s Hottest Prom Hair Trends 

The Sweet Side Swoop

This style involves creating a soft swoop that hovers just above the shoulder. The vintage look can be created by starting with a side pony, sweeping back hair and securing it with a bobby pin, or decorative bauble. Add some clips or sparkles to make it shine.

Mystifying Mermaid Braids

This one will get you pumped for summer vacation. Big and bold, these mermaid-inspired hairstyles require length and volume, but don’t fret: if your hair is shorter, you have the option to use clip-in hair extensions. Your hairstylist may require a little extra time to create these elaborate braids, but in the end, it’ll be worth the wait.

Glamorous, Effortless Curls

Here is a prom trend that a passionate hairstylist can really get behind: glamorous waves and curls. This look is crafted the old-fashioned way with a hot curling iron, hairspray, and a glossy finishing oil. It’s a style that would bode well at Coachella but will fit right in with a Bohemian-style prom gown.

Quick Roll & Tuck

This one’s a cinch—you’ll be out of the hair salon in no time. All it takes is sleeping with a little mousse and damp hair the night before your appointment. At the beauty salon, your hairstylist simply needs to tease it a bit, twist strands over the back, and tuck in place. Shockingly, this style doesn’t require pins. But a headband or some flowers complement it well.

The Long & Strong Ponytail

Channel your inner Ariana Grande with this slicked-back look, which is not only easy to create but comfortable and will keep you cool as you dance the night away. For this, your hairstylist may also want to use extensions and can hide the elastic by wrapping your hair around the base of the ponytail.
