If you’ve fallen, like we have, for the retro bouffant ‘do of
Brigitte Bardot and want to do something just like it (but with a modern twist) for prom, here are some simple tips:
1. Blow-dry damp hair, upside down, using a large round brush to help create volume.
2. Lightly tease sections of the hair from the roots, leaving about an inch around your hairline unteased.
3. Using bobby pins, secure teased sections at the back of your head, leaving a bit of a pouf on top.
4. Keep loose pieces around your face for a relaxed and feminine look.
And you’re set! Try it a few times before prom so it’ll be super easy on the big day. For more tips and a place where you can ask all our experts your deepest, darkest prom questions head on over to the
Prom Council and start chatting with other likeminded folk.
