Ideas For Homecoming Hairstyles

An updo is a classic homecoming hairstyle.

Homecoming is the first big event of the year at most high schools and universities. A fun filled week of activities and sports welcomes students, teachers and professors back to school. At some schools the grand finale of homecoming week is the homecoming dance. Girls and boys dress up for a night of dancing and fun. Girls can do their hair many different ways for homecoming.

Updo

The updo is a classic and elegant hairstyle for a formal or semi-formal dance such as homecoming. Updos involve the pinning up of all your hair into a pretty style. There are hundreds of different kinds of updos. Updos can be simple and sleek like a bun, or an elegant mess of twists and curls. Updos are perfect choices for girls with long or medium length hair. If you usually wear your hair down, an updo might be a fun change. Use hair bands and bobby pins to keep your hair secure during the night. If you are getting your hair done by a professional for homecoming, find a picture of an updo in a magazine and take it to the stylist. They will most likely be able to create that look for your big night.

Waves or Curls

Those with naturally wavy or curly hair should take advantage of this gift for homecoming. Use a curling iron and hairspray to enhance natural curls or waves. There is not much else that you need to do. Big curls and waves always look beautiful and glamorous. Think Marylin Monroe type curls for inspiration. Make the big wavy or curly hair look even better by adding accessories like a glitzy headband. You could also make the look more beachy by incorporating a strategic braid. Braid the hair a the front of the hairline from your natural part to your ear and secure the end with bobby pins. Let your curls and waves fall around the braid for a beautiful homecoming hairstyle.

Ponytail

Turn a classic ponytail into an elegant homecoming hairstyle with a few simple tricks. Create a sleek ponytail at the crown of your head. Take a small section of hair from the ponytail and braid it. Wrap that braid around the hair band that is holding up the ponytail. Secure it with bobby pins. Next, add a simple hair accessory to one side of the base of the ponytail. A hairpin, small flower or broach would turn a plain old ponytail into a glamorous updo. For a different look, wear the ponytail low and to the side of your head.
