6 Effective Hairstyle Tips For Boys To Get The Perfect Prom Look

Hair trends come and go but some of the cornerstone principles of a smashing look always remain the same. For the guys that know having a nice hairdo isn’t just about a simple comb through, there are many things to consider before prom comes around. Try these public approved hairstyle tips to ensure that your hair makes a major statement!

Getting the pompadour look

A common choice amongst teenagers, the pompadour is excellent for those with thinner hair, which can be paired with a taper or fade. To achieve this look, hair stylists recommend using a blow dryer and a comb to make your hair voluminous.

A prom with promade

Pomade is a waxy or greasy substance that’s used to slick back the hair. It works well for those with shorter hair and caters to a variety of hair textures.

One great thing about the slicked back hairstyle is that it provides a greater appearance of depth to any kind of hair, giving the impression of more volume. To get this fancy yet easy look, just apply a small amount of pomade to your hair and rub the product in until desired effect.

Cool showers

If you’re going for a normal combover look, it may be a good idea to shower with cold water. This will help keep any essential oils inside while cutting down on strangled bunches and dull strands. Hot water open skin pores, which can worsen breakouts. Use lukewarm water even if you need to have your hair standing and restrict the use of any special chemicals except conditioners.

Fringe cuts

Quite a growing choice amongst guys, fringe cuts take inspiration from the typical cropped looks but have more volume. The hairstyle is ideal for those with short and straight hair but also works for those with medium or long hair. However, bear in mind that you may need to constantly go to the barber to prevent losing the hairstyle.

Texture and look

For quick yet eye catching looks, consider adding more texture to the hair by using a moulding paste. However, if you want a smooth and clean look, use a bottle of grooming cream and wash the hair a few minutes after application.

Facial hair fix

No matter what hairstyle you choose for prom, a light beard with a clean cut will go well with any look. Avoid excess volume on the beard. Use a beard stick on rounded or squared beards or opt for a V-cut.
