Four Hot Prom Hairstyles Inspired by Miley Cyrus' 2010 Oscars Look

The hottest prom 2010 hairstyles can be derived right from Miley Cyrus' Oscar hair. Miley had the best updo at the 82nd Academy Awards, wearing a classic hairstyle in a fresh, yet elegant bun. This hairstyle can be broken into four different prom looks; a tousled down hairdo, sexy ponytail and two updos. These four hairstyles can be found in the steps to reach Miley's final Oscar (and your prom) look.

Miley Cyrus Prom Hair Prep

Miley Cyrus' 2010 Oscar hair is amazing, not just because of the style, but also the color. Keep your hair fresh for prom by getting some high and lowlights. Make sure the color is complimentary and not glaringly obvious. Go for a gradient of your natural color.

Miley Cyrus' updo would be nothing spectacular without its volume. Prep your prom locks with a volumizing shampoo, to set the right foundation. Use a lightweight conditioner for fine hair, to keep your hair from being bogged down.

Miley Inspired Tousled Prom Hair

When hair almost dry, work in a dollop of foam mousse. This will give you more control over your prom hairstyle, while also adding definition.

Using 1/2 inch ion hot rollers to create tousled curls. Conair has a set of 12 Ion Shine rollers that retail for under $20 at Walmart. Start at the crown of your hair by rolling under. Continue to hot roll the rest of your hair. The curl should be set in your hair within 15 minutes.

Gently take out hot rollers and shake your curls. Tame and add definition by lightly running your fingers through your mane. The result will be a hot tousled hairstyle fit for prom.

Sexy Prom Ponytail with a Miley Vibe

Continue styling to achieve the simplicity of a sexy prom ponytail with all of Miley Cyrus' 2010 Oscar hotness. Use a comb to tease your curls.

Take the hair at your crown and hold it up in the air. Tease the back of this section by pulling down. Stay near your scalp. This will give your do volume, while keeping the front smooth and pretty.

Pull your hair back into a high ponytail, leaving a lot of volume at your crown. Take a rattail comb and use the handle to lightly volumize the top of your prom hairstyle. Leave the sides fairly smooth (but by no means scraped tight), to mimic Miley Cyrus' Oscars hairdo.

Take your comb and tease the ponytail a bit. This should finish off your sexy prom ponytail, giving you the starlet style of Miley Cyrus, yet the freedom to party all night.

Miley Cyrus Prom Updo #1

If you are looking for a more sophisticated prom hairstyle for 2010, transform your ponytail into an updo. Wrap your hair loosely around your ponytail to create a large bun and secure with hairpins. A large bun is essential to achieving Miley Cyrus 2010 Oscar hair.

Miley Cyrus Prom Updo #2

To achieve the hot texture of Miley Cyrus' 2010 Oscars hair for your prom, make the voluminous crown of your hair a little piecey. Using your hands, take one inch sections of hair and loosely pull back and pin onto your bun. Do this evenly around your head. You don't want any weird bumps in your prom hair. Do this no more that three to five times.

Spray your do with hairspray and rock your prom like you were Miley Cyrus.
