Your Guide to Stunning Homecoming Hairstyles
Ready to find your perfect look? I’ve pulled together a list of 16 gorgeous styles that are just right for homecoming. We’ll go through them one by one, from simple and sweet to totally show-stopping. Finding the right hairstyle is key to feeling amazing on the dance floor!
16. Relaxed Waves

Sometimes, less is more, right? Relaxed waves are that effortless, cool-girl vibe that still looks polished. They’re perfect if your dress has lots of detail or if you just want to feel comfortable and beautiful. This style looks lovely on almost everyone. To get that extra bit of shine, I like to finish with a light spritz of glossing spray.
15. Half-Up Half-Down with Braids

This style is a classic for a reason. Taking sections from the front and braiding them back adds such a sweet detail to the simple half-up look. You can do small face-framing braids or a larger braid across the back. Just make sure to use small clear elastics to keep those braids secure all night long.
