Whether you decide to wear your hair loose and down or in a sophisticated updo, your curls will make the look oh-so-feminine and special. With a little product and a couple of hair accessories, you can achieve almost any style on your own.
The key is to start experimenting with your own hair before the big day, so you'll feel well-prepared when prom night rolls around. Check out the pictures below for more formal curly hairstyle inspiration.
