Prom Hair Tutorial, Dress and Shoes!
GRWM Prom! Come join us as she gets ready for her first Prom.
Hey guys! A few weeks ago my daughter went to the Prom at her High School. We filmed as she got her Prom hairstyle done, showing step by step how to recreate it in a tutorial for you. She chose to wear a pretty updo with braids and twists and a sparkly headband as an accessory.

This updo is great for long hair, but would also work for shorter hair. The buns could be easily adjusted for the length of hair you are working with. We love this updo because it looks fancy and gorgeous but is fairly quick and easy, and requires no heat or pre curling of her hair (except for the optional pieces we left out framing her face.)
She went with a natural makeup look (which her aunt helped her with) a statement necklace, and minimal earrings. As you can see in our video, her dress was a modest vintage style and very princess like! We made a video a few weeks ago showing how to lace up this dress, which is a lovely corset back.
The dress was long enough that no one could see her shoes anyway, so she decided to go with the trend of Converse comfort! Best decision ever for the dance and for fun.
Hope you enjoyed a peek at her first Jr Prom!
How To Heart Hairstyle, Double Linked Heart Ponytail
We wanted to share one more cute, last minute, heart hairstyle today before Valentine's Day is over! Have you decided how you are going to wear your hair for Valentine's this year?
In this tutorial, we are using a technique we saw on "Cute Girls Hairstyles" a few years ago to make these hearts. We love this double linked heart ponytail because it is adorable and fairly quick and easy to create.
Double Linked Heart Ponytail Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
In our video we show 2 ways this heart ponytail can be worn. If you have long hair, you could actually add another set of hearts beneath the braids for a 3rd variation.
To complete this heart ponytail, you will need a medium size hair tie and several small hair elastics. That's it!
We have been "hair blogging" for 11 years now! And during each January/February of those 11 years, we have posted several heart shaped or heart themed hairstyles.... which adds up to a lot of hearts. I actually counted over 40 heart hairstyles on our site so far! So, if you are looking for more heart hair ideas, click on our Valentine's hairstyles to see more. (Some of them are from before we started doing YouTube and are picture tutorials only.)
Obviously this hairstyle would be cute for Valentine's Day, but could also be worn for other occasions. I'm thinking this would be adorable for a flower girl at a wedding or just a regular school day.
Side Swept Formal Hairstyle For Prom
Side Swept Prom Hairstyle Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
My daughter just turned 16 and will be going to her first semi formal High School dance in a few weeks. We have been experimenting with several styles and she is trying to decide which one to wear. So many options! We love this one because it looks pretty from the front and the back. It would be great for pictures! We also love that this style is heatless, quick and easy, but looks like you spent a lot of time and effort on it. Since everything is held together with elastics, I would imagine that this style would hold up to dancing and not fall apart easily as well!
The trick to making this hairstyle soft, pretty, and slightly messy looking (in a good way) is by gently pulling the twists apart for extra volume and fluff (as shown in our video.) Your partings and placements of the elastics don't need to be perfect either. Any imperfections just add to the charm of the style! Leaving a few wispy strands of hair out around her face will also help soften the style.
We purchased the jeweled rhinestone flower hair clips shown at the end of our tutorial at our local Ross. Hair decorations or accessories can really make a formal hairstyle go from ordinary to extraordinary... and can help cover up any "mess ups" in the style as an added bonus. ;)
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- Hair elastics (the amount needed will depend on the length and thickness of your hair.) I would suggest finding clear or elastics similar to your hair color.
- Optional hair accessories (clips, pins, jewels, etc.)
- Finishing hair spray.
Triple Tuck Heart Hairstyle For Valentines Day
A cute and easy half up heart hairstyle, perfect for Valentines Day! We love that this triple tuck heart is a little more grown up for teens and women to wear, as well as for little girls of course.
This adorable heart style was inspired by a photo we saw on Instagram by "Pr3ttygirl79." This heart design was created using a simple flip and twist technique which we have used many times before in our heart hairstyles. But the way the 3 strands are stacked and tucked into the half ponytail is what makes this style unique! I love the woven look the "tucking" creates. So pretty. The best part? No braiding required!
Triple Tuck Heart Hairstyle Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- The tool we used to bring the sections through is called a "topsy tail" (affiliate.) As annotated in our video tutorial, you will want to stagger where you are pulling the strands through to keep the sections separate. If you do not have a topsy tail, you could use your fingers.
- 4 small/medium hair elastics.
- Hair product to help with flyaways.

Arrow Braid Heart Hairstyle For Valentine's Day
Our hair tutorial this week is a pretty half-up heart hairstyle. We have combined an arrowhead/ladder braid with a "heart knot" to create this fun new Valentine's hairstyle for 2018.
Over the years, valentines and heart hairstyles have been some of our favorite styles to create. If you are looking for heart hairstyle ideas, we have more than we can count on our website, some of them dating back to 08'! You can check those out here: Heart Hairstyle Ideas
Arrow Braid Heart Hairstyle Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
You might remember a style we posted several years ago called the "heart knot hairstyle" which has been quite popular on social media. And then last year we added one of our favorite and easiest Valentine's hairstyles, the "hanging heart ponytail" which uses the heart knot technique shown in today's video. We decided to combine the heart knot technique with a ladder braid... which sort of ended up looking like an arrowhead braid or fairy wings braid and we are loving how it turned out!
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- 4 small/medium size hair elastics.
- Several clips or hair ties to temporarily hold the hair while you are working.
- Pomade, gel, hair wax or other product to help avoid flyaways.
- Long or medium length hair.
This style would not only be cute for valentine's day, it would also make an adorable flower girl hairstyle for a wedding or other special occasion. Hearts can really be worn year round!
Valentine's Day Hairstyle For Teens! Braided Faux Hawk With Heart Braid Accent
Looking for heart hairstyles? You'll love this braided faux hawk with an adorable heart accent.
We love heart hairstyles and have traditionally added a few heart themed tutorials each year on our hair4myprincess YouTube Channel and Princess Hairstyles blog. As my daughter is now a teenager, we wanted something a little more grown up this year. We are loving the combination of an edgy and contemporary faux hawk mixed with a super cute and dainty heart. Like denim and lace, this unexpected combo is very chic! This Valentine's hairstyle would be perfect for school, work, Valentine's Day parties and dances, weddings, and other special or casual occasions.
Braided Faux Hawk and Heart Accent Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
This style was created by combining several techniques: a voluminous french braid faux hawk, a standard ponytail, and a cute heart accent braid which was inspired by several tutorials we have seen on Instagram and Youtube. Cute Girls Hairstyles, Brown Haired Bliss, Learn Do Teach Hairstyles, Two Little Girls Hairstyles, Easy Toddler Hairstyles and Toddler Hair Ideas are just a few accounts where we remember seeing this type of braided heart.
If you would rather rope twist, fishtail, or leave the hair unbraided in your heart, you could do that instead for a slightly different look. You could also add another heart directly underneath the first one for a double heart look! As mentioned in our video tutorial, a piece of hair could be wrapped around the top of the ponytail for a modern and sophisticated looking finish.

Prom Hairstyle, Romantic Twist Half Up
This gorgeous twisted crown hairstyle may be easy enough to do on yourself as a DIY prom hairstyle! No difficult braiding skills are required, just a simple twisting technique (that anyone can do) will create this glamorous princess hairstyle.
Our neighbor asked if I would do her hair for Prom recently and this was the style she requested in the form of a photo. The hairstyle turned out so beautiful on her and looked stunning with her Prom dress, so we thought we would share this Prom hair tutorial in case any of you are looking for a formal hairstyle to wear to your next dance, wedding, or fancy event! Although this style is quite simple, I think it is really gorgeous.
Romantic Twist Half Up Prom Hairstyle Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
You'll notice in our tutorial that we show a little trick to place volume at the crown of her head without having to tease her hair (which can be damaging and a pain to comb out later.) We also show how to cover the elastic in the center of the hairstyle in a way that blends in nicely with the twists and doesn't require any additional bobby pins or elastics.
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- 2 medium size, clear hair elastics.
- To create natural looking, soft, loose curls, we used our "reverse curling wand" (affiliate.)
- Before applying heat, you may want to use heat protectant to help minimize the damage to your hair. The one we have been using and is shown in our video is from TRESemme (affiliate.)
- Finishing hairspray.
This hairstyle is similar to the Aurora hairstyle (inspired by Disney's "Maleficent") that we did over on the Disney Style YouTube channel a few years ago. If you love this look, you can check that out to see another technique for creating a twisted half up style.
4 Strand Rosette Heart Hairstyle For Valentine's Day
Looking for Valentine's Day hairstyles? We have one more for you today! You'll love this romantic half up, half down 4 strand braid rosette heart hairstyle.
The basic technique and concept for creating this type of heart hairstyle (by wrapping the hair around 2 ponytails at the top of the heart) is nothing new and has been a popular Valentine's hairstyle over the past few years. We love this base style and thought it would be fun to try it with a 4 strand ribbon braid and love how it turned out! We thought the "swirls" at the top of the heart looked like little roses (or rosettes) and the ribbon really makes the heart "pop." You'll notice that we used fairly thick ribbon and made loose braids for "fluffy" looking roses and a pretty "lace like" heart shape. If you use thinner ribbon and braid tight, your heart will come out more distinct and uniform looking, which is also a beautiful variation.
4 Strand Rosette Heart Hairstyle, Video Tutorial: (Click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.)
My daughter was wearing braids the night before we filmed this hairstyle to create some no-heat waves and texture. This style would work great with straight hair, wavy hair, or curly hair. If your hair is shorter, you could make the buns at the top separately and then start a new braid beneath the bun on each side to form the rest of the heart.
Supplies needed to recreate this hairstyle:
- 3 small, clear hair elastics.
- Several bobby pins. We used miniature pins from Sally Beauty Supply (affiliate.) We have found that smaller pins are easier to hide in delicate styles like this.
- Ribbon. We used about 2 feet on each half of the heart.
