Braids
I love that you can have brightly colored extensions and a half-up appearance with beads on the end or jewelry or flowers braided into your braids or cornrows. A braided high pony, as well as short hair cornrows with a fade on the sides, is an extremely popular appearance.
-
Chic Braided Up Do
It’s an exquisite updo with twisted puffs. What I enjoy best about it is that I took our two-strand twists, which most of us wore as kids, and mixed it with lovely puffs to create this elegant look—plus matched with the ad hoc diamond partings.It’s one of those styles that would look amazing on most level 3 to 4 hair types and would last a few days. It’s fantastic since it’s off the face, which shows off your beauty while still keeping you cool if you’re out celebrating an occasion. You just need edge control, shine spray, and a Marley braid hair extension if you need to increase length.

Ponytail
A black ponytail hairstyle is a very trendy, feisty appearance for individuals who like to show off their neck and shoulders, and it’s really simple to wear – either high or at the nape. A ponytail extension (there are some very lovely curly ones!) can be used to enhance drama. Embellish your pony with pearls, diamante clips, or flowers that cascade down. The larger or longer the better, and don’t forget about the edges! -
Oversized Bun Updo
This elegant hairstyle demonstrates that natural hair can be styled to seem put together. Finish with a crystal piece for more glamour. Such black girl hairstyles are appropriate not only for prom but also for other formal occasions. -
Cute Crochet Updo
These formal, soft updo is the ideal style if you want to put attention and brighten your face. For natural hair, these prom hairstyles either gelled on the side or with cornrows is accessorized with a white floral barrette create a neat and polished look that’s an eye-catcher! -
Big Lush 70’s Blowout
Channel Diana Ross or Donna Summer’s diva flair from the 1970s. The greater the size, the better! Day 2 hair is easy to volumize and yet has adequate curl definition. When your hair is fine and silky, clip-in extensions are a simple method to add volume. If you’ve always desired a fringe, now is an excellent time to experiment with a fringe extension. A large flower is a lovely finishing touch. This style is best worn with a basic sheath or a bodycon dress. -
Pixie Finger Waves
One of my fave outfits of all time! Ideal for pixies, bobs, and long hair. A extremely refined style reminiscent of the “it girl” flappers of the 1920s. Level 4 curls may require the use of a relaxer to soften. Would look great with a YSL-inspired tuxedo. -
Top Knot
A top knot is one of my favorite 2023 hairstyles because it is traditional, beautiful, and clean. It adds height and is just elegant! To take it to the next level, add hair ornaments and fine edging to this style. You may fill up your natural ponytail with a ponytail extender. -
The Croissant Chignon
Elegant and simple bun hairstyles are fun, but croissant buns are even better. Pair the look with a statement earring and a statement eye and you’re ready for the ball. -
Wigs
The cool thing about wigs is that you can literally have any style and color in an instant. The quality of wigs is superior now and they are relatively inexpensive as you can choose synthetic or natural ones. They look completely natural and you can style them the many ways you like.
You might want to schedule a trial run with a stylist to figure out how you want it to appear. Take images of the final product so you can refer to it on the big day. Make sure to provide enough time for the hairdo so that you are not late for the occasion, and bring additional hair pins with you in case of an emergency.
A nice prom look is dependent on various other factors that you should not overlook. Remember to schedule a cosmetics session and a manicure for yourself. Wear your new shoes around the house to break them in.
