Homecoming dances tend to be slightly less formal than prom. The hottest trend of the moment is long hair curled and worn down and paired with a gorgeous dress, heels and jewelry. Pin your hair back or add a bit of bling and you are good to go.
But there are also trends that will set you apart from the crowd, including:
- Mussy updos
- A faux bob
- Braids (not your kid sister’s braids, but extravagant braids)
- Teased hair
These 8 hairstyle trends are styles you can do yourself at home, but I always recommend getting your hair done professionally to ensure it won’t frizz up on you or fall down by the end of the night. Just make sure to book your appointment well ahead of time.
