What: Big or little, braids will definitely be twisting and shouting their way to dance floors everywhere this prom season.

The Word: According to PromSpot.com, braids will garner more attention than prom dresses this year (well, almost): “From a hippie look to a headband of braids to twisted buns, prom queens love this hot style.”

Our Word: OMG! It’s hard to believe that prom is around the corner. If you’re stressing about what you are going to do with all that hair on your head, try a romantic looking French braid at your hairline. Once you’ve washed and blow-dried your mane, section off the first inch and a half of your crown, from ear to ear. Starting with the side you typically part your hair on to begin your braid. Take small pieces of hair along the way until you end up on the other side of your head. Fasten with a small elastic and tuck the end behind your ear. Try not to make the braid too tight or you could end up with a horrible headache!
