Executive article about prom hairstyles By Ben Anton

As important as it is to have the perfect prom dress, it is just as important to have the perfect hairstyle that compliments it and your personality. In 2009, prom hairstyles embody some of the hottest celebrity trends. Hair stylists have been watching the stars as they walked the red carpet at the Academy Awards and Golden Globes to figure out what works and what doesn’t and transform those styles into gorgeous and easy-to-do prom hair styles. When it comes to 2009 prom hair styles, picture your dress on your favorite celebrity and see if it will jive with their award show updo.

Bohemian Prom Hair
A big 2009 prom hairstyle trend is the bohemian look. These styles allow you to show some freedom and a care-free attitude. Consider weaving tiny braids into you updo like Lauren Conrad, Whitney Port, and Charlize Theron have done at events past.

Long and Curly Locks
You don’t always have to go for the tight updo for these special occasions. Consider wearing your hair down with decorative pins to keep wisps out of your face. Or wear it half up. Long hair elongates your neck, perfect for strapless dresses. Celebrity examples of this hairstyle include Leighton Meester from Gossip Girl and her co-star Blake Lively.

Sleek Updos

Taking shiny, straight hair and pulling it into a sophisticated updo for prom, is elegant and beautiful and one of the most popular ways to create a put together look. Sleek straight hair was a rave on the runways this year, and the trend was followed quickly by the likes of Nicole Richie, Gisele Bundchen, and the always glamorous Kate Hudson.

Short Hair For Prom
Those of you with short hair need not feel left out from having a great prom updo or other celebrity hairstyle this year. Take a tip from short-haired ladies like Victoria Beckham, Katie Holmes, and Reese Witherspoon. These ladies glam up their hairstyle with half updos and added body and curls.

Accessorized Updos
In 2009, adding a little sparkle to your updo is okay, but it should be understated. Add a small sparkly pin or comb that accents the dress and ads pizzazz to your hairstyle without overpowering the entire package.
