The Norwich Bulletin has a short piece about 2006 Prom Hairstyles.

They talked to one 17 yr old girl Jessica Bonosconi, who voiced a now popular opinion about updos for prom, ‘You end up with 100 bobby pins in your hair, and tons of hairspray your eyes end up all pulled back and you can’t move your head. It’s horrible.” which is how I kind of feel about updos, although they can look beautiful.

They also talked to a local stylist Tracy Miller “I’m seeing more of a loose, relaxed wave than anything else, Sometimes the top or just part of the hair will be pulled back kind of loosely. That’s what the celebrities are doing.“

The celebrities who’s hair she gets the most request for are Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas.

Miller also said that “They’re going for the red carpet look, and more for what’s in style. They know what it was like to be girls in tight braids, and they don’t want that anymore”

But as Jessica Bonosconi voiced their are other things apart from hair to worry about ‘
… between the dress, the shoes and the date, I have enough to worry about …
I’m more worried about how to dance in my dress than I am about my hair.‘
