Prom 2008 – Short Hair
This short hair Prom style was created by hairdresser Suzanne Martin from Three Small Rooms in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. This dramatic ruffled over comb over hairstyle was featured as one of a series of spectacular hairstyles in the Professional Beauty Association’s NAHA* awards.
The style was created by hairdresser Suzanne Martin and featured in a series of spectacular hairstyles at NAHA. Suzanne created the style with precision and designed it to give the impression of “just off the Runway” sophistication. It’s a style you might expect a supermodel like Kate Moss to wear.
Because this short dressy Prom hairstyle is so dramatic in its own right, avoid utilizing any accessories that might break up the spectacular lines. If you wish to accessorize, do so with an ultra skinny headband in a starkly contrasting hue.
Even better, consider accessorize with striking highlights applied in random ribbons radiating from the center of the scalp outward.
The hairstyle is dressed up for the Prom with one side panel back combed into a fluffy confection and then directed up and over the top of the head in a comb over fashion. The ruffled combed over section of hair is sprayed heavily with hairspray to give it staying power.
The sides of the bob are cut to be worn sleekly nestled over the ears with the ends notched to create a slightly irregular line.
The beauty of this hairstyle is how easily it can be created. The key to re-creating this style is to find a hairdresser that can re-create the basic sleek bob haircut. The faux updo style is sleek and elegant as well as fresh, young and edgy.
