#7: Prom Curved Braid Updo

This looks complicated but it really isn’t. All you have to do is braid your hair and keep on adding pieces to the braid as you are braiding down. Secure the hairdo with a few bobby pins, and you’re done. You may ask your friend to help you with this look.

#11: Bouffant Updo for Bob

When it comes to prom hairdos, shorter hair is usually worn down or in half updos. However, styling a trendy loose updo, even the one with a bouffant is a great idea. Backcomb, twist, pin and set with hairspray.

#12: French Braid for Short Hair

Contrary to popular belief, not all formal hairstyles for short hair need to look, well, formal. Especially in recent years, we’ve seen a gradual trend towards relaxed (but still polished) hairdos, incorporating thick French braids and gentle waves with balayage or ombre color.
