One of my absolute favorite parts of homecoming was finding cute homecoming hairstyles to do. I think different states/ areas do homecoming a little differently, but at my school there was a homecoming court that you had to get voted onto. I know a lot of schools will do a dance as well where everyone gets to dress up and go!

No matter how your school does homecoming, these hairstyles would be so good for any type of homecoming.

After you read this post, you’ll have some beautiful ideas for how to do your homecoming hair!

This post is all about cute homecoming hairstyles.

The Cutest Homecoming Hairstyles

PRO TIP: before we get into the post, I wanted to give you a pro tip when it comes to doing your homecoming/ prom hair. Make sure you wear a button up shirt or some kind of top you won’t have to pull over your head when you need to take it off! You don’t want to risk messing your hair up. It might seem like common sense, but I wish someone had told me sooner!

Okay, now let’s get into the post!

1. Half Up Braids Hairstyle

If you can braid, you might be able to recreate this look on yourself at home (or you could enlist a helper who can braid)! This hairstyle is simple, but it looks really elaborate!

2. Hair Braided Into A Ponytail

If you’re wanting to do an updo, doing your hair like this would be so pretty! This is another look you could probably do on yourself if you’re skilled with braiding.

3. Pearl Hairstyle

Slick back hairstyles with pearls like this got really popular a couple years ago. It is so pretty and chic! You could easily recreate this look at home as well. All you’d need is some hair pearls!

4. Half Up Fishtail Braid Hairstyle

This is another pretty half up half down hairstyle! Fishtail braids automatically look much fancier than other braids, so if you know how to fishtail braid or you know someone who does, you could do this look at home!

5. Half Up Bubble Braid Hairstyle

This is a super easy, but super cute, homecoming hairstyle idea! Bubble braids like this are so easy to do, so you’d just need to curl your hair and then do the half up bubble braid! I also love how they added the flowers.

6. Half Up Braided Hairstyle

I am a sucker for pretty braided hairstyles like this. I always did some kind of braided hairstyle for homecoming and prom. This hairstyle is so soft and elegant and would be so pretty!

7. Half Up Twist Hairstyle

This is another super simple hairstyle idea that would be gorgeous for homecoming! The hair is just twisted into the half up look.

8. Braided Updo

This is a look that you would probably have to go to a hair stylist to recreate. I feel like it’s worth the investment to go and get your hair done for homecoming/ prom, especially if you’re wanting to do an updo.

For homecoming my junior year of high school I tried to do an updo at home. It ended up looking fine, but my hair fell really flat by the time it was time to take pictures, so I look back at all of the pictures of homecoming that year and REALLY wish I’d just gone to get my hair done instead of trying to do it myself.

Also, for my homecoming hair my senior year, I went and got an updo done, and when I got home at the end of the night, I spent over an hour taking the 48 bobby pins out of my hair. It takes a lot to hold updos up!

9. Simple Half Up Hairstyle

A simple half up half down look like this would be really pretty for homecoming! I think the hair is just pulled back with a little elastic.

10. Curled Half Up Half Down Hairstyle

This is another simple hairstyle that looks way more elaborate than it actually is! They just curled the hair, did some little braids, and pulled the hair back.

11. Simple Ribbon Hairstyle

If you’re a fan of the coquette aesthetic like me, a simple ribbon/ bow hairstyle like this would be so cute!

12. Midi Bun

This is another really cute updo idea! Again, I’d really recommend going to get your hair done if you’re wanting an updo instead of trying to attempt it yourself, but you could possibly recreate this look at home!

13. Flower Hairstyle

I love how this hairstyle looks! It gives fairy princess vibes. This is another example of a simple twisted half up hairstyle, the hair is just more curly here.

14. Fishtail Braid Updo

This is another pretty updo idea you could do! The fishtail braid makes this look very boho.

15. Poofy Braid Half Up Hairstyle

I’m not sure what exactly to hall this hairstyle, but the braid has been “poofed” up to make it look fuller, and it looks very cute! This would be so good to recreate for homecoming.

This post was all about pretty homecoming hairstyles to try.
