Sweet 16 Hairstyle Ideas

When you hit the Sweet 16 milestone, you want to wear a hairstyle that makes a great impression. Keep in mind that new hairstyles are created among teens all the time, and just because a style looks good on other 16-year-olds, doesn't mean it will compliment you. Choose a style that is attainable with your grade of hair and a style that fits the shape of your face.


Quinceanera Hairstyle


A tiara headpiece adds panache to your hairstyle.


For the Quinceanera Sweet 16, some girls want to wear a tiara headpiece. Those who do typically choose a partial hair-do. For this look, your hair needs to be straight.


Take a comb and part your hair down straight down the middle, then place the tiara on top of your hair. There are different ways to lift your hair underneath the crown. Pin the top portion of your hair into a clip, or take hair spritz or styling gel to keep your hair in place under the crown. Make sure your hair is gathered behind the crown, and none is hanging in your face. This adds lift to the back of your tiara.


Although you can pin your hair up entirely, leaving the back section of hair hanging straight works well with the tiara.


Messy Updo


An up-do is a popular style.


The messy up-do hairstyle is a popular Sweet 16 style . This is easy to create in your own home. Don't get this hairstyle confused with a bad hair day, because the look is more controlled.


For this look you need a comb, bobby pins, snag-free elastics, your fingers and hairstyling products (gel, hairspray and moose). After you have washed your hair, make sure it is completely dry before styling. Pull your hair up into a pony-tail with the snag-free elastic. Take sections of your hair and tease it with a comb and your hairstyling products. Twist these sections and secure them around the ponytail with bobby pins. You can pull a few strands out of your ponytail to hang down, completing the messy look.


Long Curls


Long curls are available to anyone now, thanks to hair extensions.


It used to be only teenage girls with long hair could wear the big curls pulled to the side. This is hardly the case now, especially with the creation of hair extensions.


For the long curls look, use a curling iron or hot rollers and curl strands of your hair. For bigger, looser curls use thicker strands of hair. For smaller, tighter curls take thinner strands of your hair. Once your hair has curled the way you want, leave it hanging down over your back and shoulders, or pull your hair to one side. Be warned that your curls will fall out after a period of time.
