Try This: High Ponytail

Anne Hathaway

You don't need three wishes to get this fun, genie-in-a-bottle hairstyle! To get the look, simply pull hair into a ponytail at the crown of your head (any more toward the front and you'll look like a Yorkshire Terrier!).  Use a straightening product, such as Marc Anthony Instant Straightening Cream ($7.99), for smooth, sleek strands.

We love the vintage appeal of this bouffant!  It begs to be worn with an elegant evening gown and simple jewelry.

This look is totally flirty and carefree!  Wear your hair like this if you're rocking a short, playful dress to Prom.

3 Beauty Trends to Try for Prom

Get gorgeous with one (or all) of these red-hot beauty trends!  --Angel

Voluminous Updo
Eva Mendes  

Put some va-va-voom in your 'do this Prom!  This glamorous Bardot-inspired hair is tons easier than you might think.  Here's how to do it:
1. Set dried hair on large rollers.  You can do this the morning of and leave them in for a couple of hours.
2. Remove rollers and tease hair at the crown.
3. Smooth hair over teased part, then twist into a loose bun and secure with hair pins.
4. Sweep bangs to the side and finish with a holding spray, like Bumble and Bumble's.



Berry Pout
Cameron Diaz

Brighten your look with a delicious berry color! For maximum impact, add a clear gloss over the color. Nars Lipgloss in Stella ($24) gives you the color and the shine.


Violet Lids
Rihanna

Make your eyes pop!  Purple tones really make eyes stand out, plus this look will be stunning with any color dress you wear. Give MAC Eyeshadow in Satellite Dreams ($14.50) a try.

Try This: Ballerina Buns

Ballerina Bun

The holiday festivities are over but there is still so much to celebrate!  Whether you're gearing up for Prom season (it is just around the corner, girls), headed to a Sweet 16 party, or dressing up for a wedding, try a fresh and oh-so-pretty ballerina bun in your hair.  It's a wonderfully girlish spin on the classic chignon.

Simply pull hair into a ponytail right at the crown of your head, then use bobby pins to secure your hair into a bun.  For extra dazzle add a sparkly headband or colorful feather!  --Angel

All In Pieces

Kristen Stewart Robert Pattinson

Bumble and Bumble Styling Wax
Want that piece-y, mussed-to-perfection hair that Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson have been rocking on the red carpet?  Grab some molding wax (try Bumble and Bumble Styling Wax,  $20), work a small amount between your palms to heat it up, then separate and loosely twist sections of your hair. Work it throughout for maximum texture, or just on the ends for lots of piecier shapes.  --Angel

Try This: Body and Hair Powder

Look and smell pretty as a princess with Principessa Bianca Breeze Hair & Body Powder ($22).
Principessa Bianca Breeze

Stay shower fresh and extend your blowout (you did spend a fortune on it, after all) with this 2-for-the-price-of-1 powder that refreshes your body and gives you the loveliest locks with just a flick of your wrist.  And if the pink bottle design isn't the sweetest thing, I don't know what is!  --Angel

Try This: Dry Shampoo

Hair_2

Whether your hair is long or short, it's a well known fact that freshly-washed hair doesn't hold curls or shape.  If you're planning to wear a spectacular updo, or a cascade of gorgeous spirals, or even a perfectly-flat ironed coif, skip shampooing the day of Homecoming and use a dry shampoo instead.  These formulas soak up oil at the roots, plus infuse your hair with shine and a fresh scent--it's almost better than a wash!  --Angel
