Your Prom Hairdo Just Came Back In Style
If you went to prom anywhere from 1996 to 2006, chances are you remember specifically requesting an updo, which left two strategically placed face-framing tendrils off to the sides. Bonus points if these locks were curled and hairsprayed so much they had a life of their own. If you were a member of the “Laguna Beach” era, you might have even have gotten super crazy and flat ironed these little strands. No matter if you opted for tight ringlets or stick straight wispies, tendrils were a must.
As it turns out the trend ubiquitous with ’90s prom is making a comeback. We spotted a number of A-list celebs rocking tendrils of their own. Although these locks might be a little softer, contain a little less hairspray, and likely won’t be worn to prom, they still cause the same excitement as receiving that first corsage. Without further adieu, let us present to you 15 celebrity-inspired hairstyles with tendrils. Cue applause.
