If you’re forever the campus trendsetter, step out of your limo with the ultimate style of the moment: a blunt bob! Take it to the next level by ombre-ing the cut with your color of choice.
High Braided Ponytail

Channel your inner Queen Bey and whip your head back and forth all night with a braided high ponytail. While simple in theory, a long ponytail will give you an undeniably fierce flawlessness. Unless you naturally have hip-length hair (go ahead, girl!), check out this video from The Find Guru on how to achieve the style (here).
Big & Bold

Serve major melanin goddess vibes and let your natural hair shine. Bigger is better with this style, so don’t be afraid to add in a few tracks for more volume. Consider Mayvenn’s ‘Kinky Straight’ if going for a blown out look or ‘Curly’ hair for a texture that matches your natural hair and requires minimal manipulation.

Ooze sophistication all night long with face framing finger waves. This is a great style for ladies who like to subtly make a statement. If you want to raise the glam factor, pair this style with some fun costume jewelry or dramatic lashes.

For the babes rocking locs, slay prom with a bold bun. There are multiple ways to personalize this look whether it be two-strand twisting your locs at the base or placing gold braiding beads throughout.
Classic Curls

A tried and true prom style, classic curls are a great option if you want to keep it simple but still look (and feel) glamorous. The key to a good head of curls is layers, something you can easily achieve with two or three bundles of Mayvenn’s ‘Loose Wave’ hair. Grab your curling wand and add ringlet curls throughout.
