I’m back with another round of prom updos! Y’all know that updos are my fav! If you’re looking to experiment on your own this year, check out these 3 easy hairstyles that will have you rolling up to prom in style.
Viking Braid
As the last season of Game of Thrones approaches, this braid couldn’t be more timely! Its feminine, soft look is the perfect finishing touch to any prom look. To optimize this look, I suggest starting with a base of curls that are a few days old to help add some volume. This look combines a mixture of dutch braids with a voluminous ponytail, adding tons of dimension and texture.
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, 1 small hair elastic, 1 ponytail holder, and hairspray.
