Teen has first homecoming and wants me to do her hair...need help since it's not long!

My daughter has short to medium length. Let's say if I do a pony tail, she has a short tail. She wants me to do her hair but have no clue what to do. She does want those long type curls that come down and I bought the rods for it. I also bought her rhinestone pins to dress it up. I'd like to pull the hair around her face back, since she doesn't want to pull it up. But I need suggestions and how to create such a look. I hope someone here can help offer me some advice.
