Prom Hairstyles for Medium Hair

Who is excited for Prom? It is such a special night, one that you will probably look back fondly on forever. For such a memorable occasion, you are going to want to feel beautiful and you lovely ladies deserve to. We want to help you with some of your planning for the big night so we have searched high and low for some of the best updos and hairstyles. Take a look at some of our favorite easy and simple prom hairstyles for medium length hair and hopefully get some inspiration.

Prom hair doesn’t have to be all about the up-do. If you have medium-length hair, you may choose to wear your hair down and that can be just as glamorous. These flicked-out layers around the face are so simple, yet they are still so beautiful. The contemporary take on a 1970s favorite (Farrah Fawcett anyone?) is perfect for prom, and easy to do. Gorgeous!

How gorgeous is this loose braid to a low bun? The style is so light and airy, with a relaxed feel that is so effortless. The addition of some floral accessories gives a fairy tale vibe and really stand out against the icy blonde hair.

If you are looking for an easy prom hairstyle that will stay in place as you dance the night away, then how about these stunning double dutch braids. A few loose tendrils will add a touch of softness to the structured hairstyle.

Simple and elegant, the classic French twist is a perfect hairstyle for prom. Keep it youthful and modern with some raw edges and a few escaping tendrils. Lovely!

If you’re looking for simple prom or homecoming hairstyles for medium length, The messy high bun is a hairstyle that works for any occasion, don’t you think? It is such a simple hairstyle that is easy to do, which would save you some money for a hairstylist on the night. We love those tousled tendrils framing the face.

The shapes and twists in this asymmetric up-do are glorious. It is such an organic and wonderful shape that sits beautifully at the nape of the neck. You can keep it simply chic like the model has, or enhance the lovely details with some jewelled hairpins.

Thick hair looks lovely swept up into an elegant high ponytail. We love the slight retro 1970’s vibe of this ponytail with the thick loose tendrils around the face and the soft wave to the hair.

Give finer hair some extra body by spritzing with a volumising spray and styling into bouncy ringlet curls. A waterfall braid around the back of the head looks wonderful with the vintage curls. Lovely!

If your style is a little more edgy, how about this cool hairstyle for prom? The hair has been given a beachy texture and styled into waves, with a small messy side braid, which has been toughened up with some metallic hair rings. We are obsessed with this prom look.

The texture of this messy low chignon is to die for. The chignon can be an older hairstyle, but it has been kept fresh and youthful with a messy finish that is just beautiful. We love the addition of a gold and pearl hair clip that complements the wonderful blonde tones of the model’s hair.

If you have wavy hair, why not celebrate your curls? To damp hair liberally apply a good quality curl spray and dry upside down with a diffuser. This will create volume, shine, and definition to your waves…stunning!

The colours of this hair are so dreamy and have been really allowed to shine with the floral crown hairstyle. Of course, a floral crown is a great prom hairstyle for any hair colour and really works well on medium-length hair.

This wraparound fishtail braid is lovely. The braid and the poker straight locks have helped to accentuate the multiple tones of blonde and brown in the hair. For a touch of whimsy, why not weave a few real flowers that match your prom dress into your braid.

A low bun is an easy prom hairstyle that’s great for medium-length hair as you can pin in all the shorter lengths with ease. This version is incredibly sleek and chic and we love the rope braid that has been fed into the bun and the few loose tendrils.
