These 10 drop-dead gorgeous prom hairstyles for short hair showcase how super pretty short hair can be.
I love seeing all the beautiful examples of prom hair, but I realized that most of what I saw was for long hair. When looking at prom hairstyles for short hair, I was delighted to find plenty that will knock your socks off.
Prom Hairstyles for Short Hair
Save this post to Pinterest so you can show the stylist what you have in mind. Throughout the post, I’ve included some links to pretty accessories to wear in your hair to prom. Hoping you find something you are excited to try!
Before we look at hairstyles, a quick FYI about prom style 2024. It’s all about BOLD. Bold colors, bold cuts, bold designs. This sweet prom girlie is wearing this prom dress from Amazon. I wish Amazon had been a thing when I was a teenage girl! (Less than $100!)
1. First up, Jennifer Lawrence rocking a faux chignon. Look close and you’ll see it’s basically a lot of twists and bobby pins. (I like these pearl hair pins even better than the plain ones.)
2. This hairstyle is out of this world cute. Love, love, love.
3. This prom hairstyle is a little messy and wild and I adore it. If you want to add a little something extra to make it even prettier, this rose gold set of clips is just the thing.
4. The loose braids are wonderful. (The little cutie in this model’s arms? Bonus!)
5. This is so cute! Better grab an extra bottle of hairspray so it stays this way for your whole special night.
6. This probably wouldn’t work for someone with thin hair, but if you have the volume… wow!
7. Isn’t this the sweetest hairstyle ever? I love the way the beads are woven throughout her side braid.
8. Loose waves and a cute flip on the back and sides make this ideal for a prom girlie who doesn’t like a lot of fuss.
9. Janelle Monae is truly gorgeous, so even though she’s not heading to prom, this pixie with gold headband is a fantastic example of a glamorous short hairdo. I found a set of 5 headbands for less than $20 that would work perfectly.
10. I’m in mad love with this hairstyle. It needs nothing extra because it’s perfection just the way it is.
