There's tons of do-it-yourself hairstyles that look absolutely gorgeous and will go perfectly with your prom dress.

Before you start any hair style, make sure that you've washed your hair thoroughly with a good shampoo and conditioner. You may need the help of a blow dryer, flat iron, curling iron, bobby pins and hair pins, as well as some hairspray to hold your style.

This elegant yet simple hairstyle is absolutely stunning. You can achieve this gorgeous style without much effort and it's a fast solution if you're in a hurry.

1. First, wash through your hair with a nourishing shampoo and conditioner. If you want to add volume and texture to your hair, apply any texturing hair product after shampooing.

2. Next, use a blow dryer to completely dry your hair. To set your hair to a curly style, brush it with a round brush while blow drying. Nexxus also recommends you to use an air director nozzle when blow drying.

3. After your hair is dried, separate your hair into different sections and tightly wrap each section around a hair roller. If you do not have any hair rollers, you could just wrap them around your fingers. Depending on your hair texture, you should let your hair set for about 5-10 minutes.

4. Smooth out your hair with a bit of hair spray.

5. Use a comb to create a side part in your hair and pull your hair into a ponytail just above your navel. Make sure your pony tail is on the same side as your part.

6. Hold the ponytail with an elastic band and divide the ponytail into two sections.
