Finding your prom hair style doesn't have to be a complicated task.  You can search online for hair styles examples, visit many galleries and look at magazines for great prom hair ideas.
 

Sometimes you are better off with a simple prom hair style--one that you can style yourself.  If you hair falls down during the prom, you need to be able to fix it.  If your style is very complicated, you may have trouble trying to fix any falling pieces.

If you decide to go with a more sophisticated updo, you should definitely schedule a trial run with your hair stylist.  That way you will be able to see how the style will hold up all day and address any issues with the hair falling or annoying you. (FYI- having a whole bunch of pins in your hair can be annoying after awhile and can end up making your scalp itchy and sore!)

Add large hoop earrings for a sparkling finish.
