Short dressy Prom hairstyles can be dramatic in their own right. With this in mind, avoid accessories that might break up the look, and the spectacular lines. Should you wish to use accessories, do so with an ultra skinny headband, preferably with starkly contrasting hues.

One good short-hair prom style would have one side panel back combed into a fluffy confection. This is then directed upward and over the top of the head in a comb-over. The ruffled combed-over section of hair is then sprayed heavily to give it staying power.
