Different Hair Updos

Different Hair Updos

Updos are a popular choice for hair when attending a formal event such as a wedding or prom. The creativity of a talented hair stylist combined with your vision of a hairstyle for an evening can produce a beautiful result.

French Twist

A French twist is a classic updo that works for any formal occasion. This style is created by folding the hair lengthwise from a low ponytail to form a tight twist. It is worn with the bangs and hair framing the face smoothed down for a sleek, sophisticated look. This style can also be worn loose, for a softer look.

Tendrils

Tendrils are curls that cascade down from the hair that has been secured to the top of the head. A loose bun on the top of the head can be dressed up by adding tendril curls to the hair that frames the face. Hair can be curled before being put up in a bun or ponytail and secured with bobby pins and clips.

Spiky

A spiky updo is a funky style that is different from the traditional styles. After piling the

hair on top of the head, the stylist will use a straightener to make pieces of the hair stand up and out from the center.

Half Up Half Down

The two front sides of the hair will be pulled back and secured in the middle of the back of the head. The rest of the hair will be down. The hair is curled to blend the two sides that have been pulled back with the hair that is down.

Accessories

Adding accessories is possible to any of these styles. Hair clips, flowers, bows, ribbons, and barrettes can be secured into the updo to match your dress or outfit for an event. Rhinestones and baby's breath are popular additions to updos.

Considerations

Be prepared when consulting your hair stylist about your style by bringing photos that show the style you want. Doing a practice run a couple of weeks before your event is advised so you and the stylist are on the same page. Do not wash your hair the day of the event, for the style will hold better when a bit dirty. Have your updo done before your makeup, in case the stylist will be dampening your hair with water. Wear a shirt that has buttons on the front, so your updo will not be damaged by pulling a shirt over your head.
