Choosing how to style your hair is the last step to perfecting a put-together Homecoming look. Are you unsure on how to style your hair with the dress you chose? Or, are you sure of a hairstyle but don’t know what to wear to complement it? You’re in the right place. Stay tuned for a complete guide on how to wear your hair for Homecoming!

Strapless Dress: Updo Hairstyle

The off-the-shoulder strapless look is always stunning when paired with an updo hairstyle. Updos allow for the dress to have its own moment while still adding elegance to your look! Wearing a strapless dress with your hair up allows you to show off your neckline and accentuates your silhouette. If you want to wear an updo but are still in search of the perfect strapless dress, my personal favorite is the Avril Faux Leather Bodycon Dress in White. If you are looking for an easy updo hair tutorial that can be done at home, check out our videos below!

One Shoulder Dress: Slick Back Bun

One shoulder dresses always look the best when paired with a slick back bun! The one shoulder style is most flattering when it is able to be fully seen and not covered by your hair. This is especially true when wearing a one shoulder dress where the shoulder strap is a statement in itself, similar to our Maya Organza Bodycon Dress.

Simple Mini Dress: 70’s Inspired Curls

You can never go wrong with curls, especially 70’s inspired curls. If you’re wearing more of a simple dress, let your hair be the moment! Big barrel curls frame the face, highlighting your makeup look and facial features. If you know you want to wear your hair down but don’t know what dress to choose, a simple mini dress is a great choice. My current favorite simple mini dress is the Harlow Satin Mini Dress. I will link a great hair tutorial for 70’s inspired curls here.

Midi Dress: Elegant Low Ponytail

Midi dresses can be styled in so many different ways, but they always give off a chic and elegant vibe. A stylish low ponytail is classy and a great way to elevate the midi dress look for Homecoming. Depending on your own personal style, you can always curl or crimp the ponytail to add some flavor to your look! For anyone still looking for a dress, my go-to midi dress at the moment is the Marie Cinched Cutout Satin Midi Dress. If you are looking for a quick and easy low ponytail tutorial, one is linked below!

Maxi Dress: Half Up Half Down

If you are trying to decide on a hairstyle to wear with a long dress, a half up half down style is the way to go! Half up half down styles are timeless and don’t take too much attention away from the dress as the focal point of your look. There are many different styles of half up half down looks, but my personal favorite tutorial is this one! If you know which half up half down style you like but you’re unsure on the dress, the Marianne High Slit Satin Maxi Dress is a great choice.

& That’s a wrap! Hopefully this guide was helpful in deciding which hairstyle to wear with your Homecoming dress.
