There are numerous ways to style straight hair for prom. Wear your hair sleek and straight, or pull it into a high ponytail that hangs down your back or off to the side. Style your prom hair in a high or low bun. Curl or wave your straight hair with curling irons, hot rollers, foam rollers or flat irons. Then wear it free and flowing, or manipulate it into the prom hairstyle of your choice. For more advice on styling techniques, check out the section below on popular ways to style your hair for prom.
Tip #1 For extra volume, use your fingers to gently rub a spritz or two of dry shampoo into your roots. This is a great way to lift hair by banishing oil that can make your strands heavy even if your hair is clean.

Tip #2 For an even fuller look, use a coarse or boar’s hair 1-inch brush to tease your roots lightly. Do so until your hair is “standing up.” Then gently smooth down with a boar’s hair paddle brush.
Tip #3 Girls with finer hair textures can blow dry their hair upside down to help create volume. They can also spray their roots right after teasing with a light finishing spray. This process helps strengthen the hair before brushing it down.

Tip #4 For thicker hair, blow dry hair in small sections in long fluid movements to create a smooth sleek look. Finishing with a flat iron in the same way will achieve an even shinier, straight style.
Tip #5 For defined curls that will surely stay, use a 1-inch curling iron. After each curl, coil it up to your head and pin. When you’re all done, use hairspray all over and wait a few minutes before unpinning. For stubborn hair, spraying the hair before and after curling will help add strength to the hair curl to keep it the way you want.
