Getting Ready: PROM Hair

Ah, guys!!! It's official. PROM is this Saturday.
I seriously cannot wait. But I need your guys' help with one thing -- A HAIRSTYLE
I want an updo just because it's a special occasion and it's the only time I'd actually get an updo.
Plus, my dress is open back so I don't want my hair to cover it.
I'm going for an OLD HOLLYWOOD LOOK.

I found 3 hairstyles that I really like.
They look pretty simple to do. I just can't decide which one I want.
Will you guys help me?



Skip to 4:46 for the finished look.

"Twist and Pull" Updo

This is the first look.
It looks more like a side bun.
I love her technique on how to make the bun. It's soooo cool.
I won't be adding a flower hair pin though.



Skip to 0:08 to 0:12.

Braided Updo

This one look really really pretty!
I love the braid that goes down all the way.
I also like the texture. There's something very elegant about it.



Skip to 0:04 to 0:10.

The "Faux Bob" Look

This one screams Old Hollywood don't you think?
I just love this hairstyle.
First off, it's simple to do. Just pin here, pin there.
And it goes perfect with the look I'm going for.


I really like the last look. But I also like the first 2 hairstyles.
I'm torn!!! Help?

What do you guys think? Which one should I do?

  9. wow these looks are ALL beautiful in my opinion. i think they all sort of feel retro inspired, i guess since women used to do so much to their hair even daily, and these all look like looks which could have been worn in the 40s or something. i think the middle one is my favorite, too bad i am so bad with hair that these tutorials would barely help me! i think you should do the 2nd look! i hope you have a great time at PROM!

  10. Aah, super exciting! Mine is tonight!!! I thought of going for an updo too, but my dress is strapless so i'm going for long waves/curls with braids. Have fun tomorrow, carrie!
