Braided Prom Hairstyles You Can Recreate

Ready for inspiring pics and useful tips? This list of prom hairstyles will help you choose one elegant updo you’ll fall in love with!

1. Textured French Braid Updo

If you want braided prom hair, then this textured updo is the perfect way to upstyle a french braid. To create this style:

1. Start by curling your hair.
2. Then, braid a french braid down to just below your ears and pin it in place. To get extra texture, gently pull small sections of the french braid to loosen it.
3. Pin the remaining curls up into a low, curly bun.

2. Dutch Fishtail Crown Braid

Prom is your time to dress like a princess, so why not add a crown, right? I love the soft look of this dutch fishtail crown braid. To create this braid:

1. Start a dutch fishtail braid right behind your ear and braid up across the top of your head and all away around to the other side.
2. Pin any extra braid underneath the top braid to create a seamless circle. The trick to get the nice volume for this style is to use bobby pins in a line all the way around the braid and then to pull the braid to loosen it.
3. Pull out a few strands around the front and sides for a truly fairy-tale vibe.

3. Festival Queen Braid

Since some formal dresses are very clean-cut, it can be nice to contrast that with a messy braid for prom. Interesting braids shouldn’t be limited to the festival grounds — this center dutch braid going into a messy fishtail will be a standout style on the dance floor. Pair this braid style with a black dress and statement piece of jewelry.

4. Triple Twist Ponytail

Usually when I see lists of prom braids, they’re limited to french braids or fishtails, but don’t forget about rope braids! These puffy rope braids are unique and flattering. To create this style:

1. Separate your hair into three sections down the back of your head.
2. Braid each section into a rope braid, and gently pull on each section of the rope braid to loosen it.
3. Then, bobby pin the rope braids in place in the back to keep them together.
4. Take the ends of the rope braids and loosely braid them together and secure the ends with an elastic.

5. Half-Up Crown Braid

Have long hair and can’t decide if you want to wear it up or down? This half-up crown braid might be the style for you. From the front, this style looks like a braid headband, and from the back it looks like a crown braid worthy of Juliet herself. To create this style:

1. Braid a dutch lace braid across the sides and front of your hair, and braid a regular three-strand braid with the remaining hair.
2. Then, tuck the end of the braid under the start of the braid.

This style would be lovely with a flowy gown.

6. Romantic Twists

These romantic twists are a unique take on the classic curly updo. This style is created from stacked topsy tails pinned up into a bun, with a rope braid accent. An updo like this is a great choice if you have dress with beautiful detailing on the back. It will allow people to admire your hairstyle, without it interfering with your dress style!

7. Whimsical Braided Updo

Want to know a secret? This dreamy updo is simply an extremely pulled-out french braid! The trick to taking your french braid from weekday to whimsical is to start with lots of texture.

1. For the base of this style, curl your hair and add hairspray for hold.
2. Then, tease the top of the hair for volume.
3. Next, create a loose dutch braid down the back of your hair and secure with an elastic.
4. Starting from the top section of the braid, pull out the braid as far as you can and then pin it in place.
5. Repeat this all the way down the braid and then remove the elastic and pin the remaining hair up and under the pulled-out braid.

8. Asymmetrical Braid and Bun

Asymmetrical styles are a great pairing with asymmetrical dresses. If you have your eye on a one-strap dress, complement it with a side hairstyle like this dutch french braid and low bun. Place the braid on the same side as the strap and the low bun on the strapless side to add balance to your look.

9. Creative Combo Braid

Have a dress that’s stunning, but simple? Add detail with your upstyle. An easy way to add visual interest to a braided style is to create a combo braid. This style is a combination of a rope braid, an infinity braid, and a bubble ponytail. Tip: Wrap a small piece of hair around each elastic you use and pin it in place to add an extra layer of detail.

10. Edgy High Bun

Who says a high bun has to be preppy? If you’re looking for prom hair with some added edge, try this braided part bun.

1. Begin by sectioning out a half-inch section of hair along a side part line.
2. Starting from the back of your head, braid that section into a small dutch braid going toward your face, and continue braiding to the end of your hair.
3. Tuck this braid behind your ear and bobby pin it in place.
4. Finally, create a high bun to complete the look.

11. Elegant Braided Updo

Braids can be the main star of your hairstyle, or they can play a supporting role. This low, curly bun is transformed into an elegant braided hairstyle by simply adding a few accent braids to the sides of the style. If you’re seeking a classic style to go with a formal gown, this choice is charming.

12. Twist-Top Ponytail

Dance the night away without your hair getting in the way (and still look fabulous)! Fancify your ponytail by adding a rope braid to the top of your hair. Wrap a small piece of hair around your hair tie to finish the look. Tip: You can tease your ponytail to give it some extra volume.
