On April 25th, students explored hair and makeup trends for the upcoming prom 2012 season! With prom season around the corner, teenagers around the country are buzzing about the newest and hottest trends. Hot hairstyles for this season include retro looks, hair knots, braided up-do’s, ponytails, and half up half down looks. The high bun is a hair style that has made a recent comeback, and can certainly be dressed up for prom. With high buns, the hair is taken off of the neck, and more focus can be paid to the prom-goer’s beautiful dress!

Also a hot new style is the hair knot, which can be done in a number of ways. This messy yet put together look is more fun and flirty, and is also perfect for prom!

Makeup styles can range from simple to super glam, however no matter what, celebrities are all rocking bright, springtime lips. A bright lip color can give any prom gown a pop of color, and can really transform a look!

Students at Branford Academy had a chance to dream up their own ideas for prom 2012, and came up with some new and innovative looks!
