Bun
When competing in a pageant, you have to look your best, from your dress to your smile, makeup and hair. When choosing a hairstyle for the pageant, choose an updo that says something about your style and about you as a person. Remember that your pageant updo needs to last throughout the night, so pick a style that is easy to do, yet impressive.
Romantic
A romantic updo is popular for the evening gown portion of the pageant, and is good for those with long, wavy or naturally curly hair. Use a large-barrel curling iron to create long, loose curls. Then use bobby pins to pin up small sections of hair from above your temples and at the crown of your head to create a cascading effect down your back. Set the updo with a mist of loose-hold hairspray to keep it looking its best under the hot lights of the pageant stage.
Edgy
If you are the type of pageant queen who doesn't like to be traditional, consider an edgy updo. This hairstyle works best for girls with short to medium hair. Use a flat iron and straightening creme to get the stick-straight look, flipping out the ends to create texture. Pull the back into a messy bun, allowing the ends to fan out. Secure with a few bobby pins. This style looks especially good with a thin hairband pulled over the front, and leaves plenty of space for that all-important pageant crown. This look works for a more casual pageant, or for the swimsuit portion.
Classic
If you are the consummate classic beauty queen, you probably want a pageant updo that stands the test of time. Try this modern twist on the classic French twist. Begin with clean, straight hair, and use a comb to back comb the crown to create a small bump. Gather your hair into a ponytail. Twist and invert the ponytail, and roll it into itself. Secure this roll to the back of your head with bobby pins. You should have a classic French twist, but with a little flair in the volume at your crown. This looks goes perfectly with all portions of the pageant, but looks particularly sophisticated during the interview portion.
