Girls with long hair might have more trouble taking good care of the long locks but have a variety of options for prom hairstyles. Longer hair can be worn with curls, waves, or sleek. Longer hair can also be worn in the very popular updos and chignons that are staples of formal events like the prom. Because of all these possible ways of styling longer hair, there are many choices to choose from when it comes to hairstyles. All the different styling options all have some great looks that would compliment any girl's prom dress and the choice becomes a matter of comfort and style. Hopefully the long hairstyles presented here will inspire some ideas.
Simple Chic Cut
The first long hairstyle here is a breath taking one worn by Brittany Murphy. The hairstyle is very simple with the front part pleated to one side and separated with a small hair band from the back. The tresses are curled and just allowed to fall down which makes the hairstyle a great option for strapless prom dresses. The hairstyle is very simple to create yet the overall look it creates is tremendous. Different hair accessories can be combined with this look for some different options.
Long Boho Waves
This long hairstyle worn by Ashlee Simpson is a very simple cut. The hairstyle is easy to create, feels comfortable, and still looks great, even for formal events like the prom. The hair features a slightly off-center part with boho waves throughout the tresses. No fringe is needed here and the boho waves make for a different look. Ashlee rocks this hairstyle and many girls will do the same with it at any prom.
Prom Updos Galore
Updos and chignons are some of the most popular hairstyles worn to formal events and the prom is no exception. These hairstyles provide such an elegant look that it is hard to overlook them. This updo worn by the beautiful Paz Vega shows just how elegant these hairstyles can be. With updos, there are different ways to create them. Some girls prefer complex updos with no fringe and others prefer simple updos with fringes. It is a matter of preference and here Paz goes with a complex updo with a swept fringe for an incredible look. The fringe can really make a difference in how the hairstyle looks as well as lighten up other facial features. Prom goers should definitely consider the updo as a hairstyle option.
Chic Hairstyle with Curly Locks
The hairstyle presented here combines the wavy locks of the hairstyle presented by Brittany Murphy with a swept fringe with curled out tips. Tara Reid pulled a great turn around with this elegant, chic look that is not too hard to pull off. The long, curly locks are easy to create with proper rollers or a big barrel tong and the swept fringe can be created with some styling gel. This is a very great option for long hairstyles for the prom and a variety of hair accessories can be added for extra flair.
