Updo Formal Hair Styles

An updo formal hair style can be whipped up in one quick sweep for a casual feel, or labored over for hours from start to finish, depending on the function.

Full updo is a perfect way to celebrate the formal events this season. It's healthy and easy to style. It holds curl and can be piled high without lot of fuss. It's a traditional "updo" with a feminine flair. Her large looped bun creates the “pile” effect, and her naturally long, thick hair smoothed easily into large barrel rolls. From the front it gives the illusion of a bun, from the sides and back all you see are cascading curls. To create this hair style pull the front half of your hair into a ponytail and flip it forward. Secure into bun. Lift the remaining hair and clip curls as close to the bun as possible.

Chignon

It’s amazing how exciting a basic chignon can be when you add contrasting faux hair. This subtle but fabulous weaved “evening” look is beautiful when done right. Her mane is simply slicked back into a low ponytail. The remaining hair was smoothed into three sleek buns. Extra blond pieces were added for a finishing touch.

If you live where it is rainy or humid, an "updo" is your better choice, because you can add extra pins, barrettes, gel, etc.

More Formal Hairstyles

The CLASSIC girl will brush her hair back in a tight ponytail leaving a small section of the pony tail underneath. Wrap what was left out around the pony tail holder. Use bobby pins to secure the loose hair, but try to keep them hidden. Remember that the tighter the hair, the less you will have to spend time restyling later that night when you're having fun. Don't make the ponytail either too high or too low, and use a little bit of hair spray - sleek it down with your fingertips to decrease any flyways.

If you want to go for the GIRLIE look, start with a small part to the side. Brush your hair back and to the opposite side of the part (below your ears). Tie your hair back on the side with a cute ponytail holder that matches your dress, and let your hair fall over the front of your shoulders. You can brush out some of the hair from the top so that it is loose and has volume. For those that have layers, let the shorter ends fall loose but keep them all to one side.

ROMANTIC is always a popular look for prom. The traditional style is to pull half of your hair up form your ears to the top of your head. Tie the hair back in a ponytail and divide the hair into small or large section (whichever you prefer). Twist the sections and tie them up, leaving the tips loose to flutter. Then secure with bobby pins (the more the better, as long as they are concealed). Leave the rest of your hair hanging straight (use a straightening iron if your hair is naturally wavy or curly) and use conditioner to eliminate frizz.

Remember, the most important thing about looking beautiful on prom night isn't a great prom hair style, or even a great prom dress it's about feeling confident and relaxed.
