From vintage to modern... we have something for everyone. 

Prom is a great time to experiment with new styles and try something outside of your comfort zone. At the same time, many girls opt to go for a classic and timeless style. Lucky for you, trendy prom hairstyles for this year include some of both.

Read on for some gorgeous trendy prom hairstyles to inspire you:

3. 90s Inspired

Take a cue from the 90s.

Take it back to another decade with this 90s inspired style. Use a curling wand to create loose waves, pull half your hair up into a half-up style, and then spritz your hair with a texturizing hairspray. We suggest using TRESemmé Compressed Micro Mist Hairspray Texture Hold Level 1.

4. Side-Swept Curls

Gather all your curls over to one side.

This is one of those styles that’s pretty easy to DIY. Use a curling iron to create full and voluminous curls all over your head. Then pull all the curls over to one side of your head and secure them with bobby pins.

5. Updated Old Hollywood Curls
