Robert Santana, Artistic Director of Matrix, the leading professional haircare and haircolor company, part of L’Oreal USA’sProfessional Products Division, has shared the latest seven trends for every hair length that will make you shine at the party!

1. Bed Head Ballerina Buns

These are the anti-stiff prom hairdos! Casual and disheveled, these buns are perfect for adornment with sparkly headbands or even fresh flowers. Loose, wispy, face-framing tendrils balance messy with sweet, and a dark root in the hair color adds depth to the design. “Enhance the texture with a dry shampoo,” advises Santana. “It will provide the grip needed to keep the hair in place.”

2. Rapunzel Waves

Nothing is more romantic than a tumble of soft, feminine waves. Santana creates the curls with a ¾-inch curling iron, then pulls the ends to stretch the hair. A princess-worthy headband, adorned with pearls or sparkly stones, completes the picture.

3. Half Up & Half Down Braid Bouquets

Irregular braids nestled in soft waves put a unique spin on a half-up/half-down hairstyle. “If the budget allows,” says Santana, “highlights will really show off the details of this style.”

4. Side-Sweep Waves

Glamorous, glossy waves, swept over one shoulder, bring every girl’s red carpet fantasy to life. To keep waves in place, Santana places a row of bobby pins behind the ear on the opposite side.

5. ’80s Curls

Curly girls everywhere are embracing their natural textures, and prom is the perfect place for a head-full of springy coils. Santana refines curls by applying a lightweight curl cream to damp hair, separating the head into one-inch section, dividing each section in half and twisting all of the halves together tightly. Once hair is dry, he carefully unfurls each twist.

6. Polished Pixies

Who says short hair can’t be dressed up? A pixie cut gets prom-ready with lift at the root and peek-a-boo bangs.

7. Gatsby Waves

These waves start with the idea of ’20s finger waves, then go slightly askew with fun and funky hair clips. It’s a young, fresh take on a classic hairstyle!
