Prom is an exciting time for teen girls. Many of them fantasize about what their big night will be like. Having great hair to go along with your great dress is part of the whole prom experience. This article provides some of the trendiest 2008 prom up 'dos with links to photos and step-by-step guides so that you can do your own hair or have your stylist do it for you.

Short Hair Ruffled Comb Over: This up 'do is meant specifically for girls with short hair. A photo of this hairstyle can be found at: http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip000300.htm.

The short hair ruffled comb over was created by Suzanne Martin from Canada, and it has a high-fashion look. The Hair Boutique recommends that girls should avoid accessorizing their hair with anything if they plan to use this up 'do for prom. If girls really feel like they want to accessorize, however, Hair Boutique recommends wearing a skinny headband that contrasts with your hair color.

Messy Bun: Another prom up 'do recommended by the Hair Boutique is a messy bun. A messy bun is simply a very loose bun that shows off your hair in an elegant fashion. In order to see photos of this hairstyle, please visit: http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip100005.htm.

French Twist: French twists are simple, yet very elegant hairstyles that can be worn for prom. It may take some practice in order to perfect a French twist with your own hair. Alternatively, you may want to consider having a hairstylist do a French twist for your prom up 'do for 2008.

Love to Know offers step by step instructions on how you can put a French twist into your own hair, and they may be found here: http://hair.lovetoknow.com/French_Twist.

Curls: According to My Prom Hairstyle, curls are in. You can easily curl your hair at home with a curling iron or curling brush. It may take a little practice to get your curls just right.

You can also try sleeping with curling rollers in your hair for very thick, large curls.

Half Up, Half Down: The half up, half down hairstyle is in for prom 2008. You can obtain this look by putting part of your hair up into a ponytail and leaving the rest of your hair down. Curling your hair before doing this style may add extra elegance.
