There are so many things needed to have a perfect evening out: the outfit, the accessories, and, most importantly, the hair. Whether it's a friend's wedding, a date or girl's night out, women want to look good without looking like they tried too hard. With just a few simple new ideas, great evening hair can be accomplished without tons of hairspray and a suitcase of bobby pins.
Beach Waves
For those with shoulder length to long hair, the beach-waved look is glamorous without being overkill. This look works best on hair that is naturally wavy or can hold wave well. Hair should be parted in the middle, and the style can be achieved simply with the use of a curling iron, some finger tousling and a good volumizer. This look replaces the typical bohemian feel with a va-va-voom, elegant appeal. Celebs like Kate Hudson and Jennifer Lopez wore this style well in 2009.
Evening Ponytail
For most girls, there is a certain comfort factor that comes with the ponytail. It's simple, it's no-fuss, it's playful. And now, it can be done for evening with just a few alterations. Starting a bit lower on the head than normal, the evening ponytail is a playful, sexy spin on the usual girl next door 'do. Remember to gather the hair loosely at the top to allow the area to be teased a bit for volume. Those who have bangs can part hair in the middle and style them a la Guliana Rancic at the 2009 Oscars or pin them back like Sienna Miller. The ponytail itself can be curled or worn straight depending on the hair type.
The Chignon
Perhaps the most classic and one of the most flattering evening looks is the chignon. It can be worn with the most elegant dress or with jeans and a blazer and always manages to look classy. A chignon can be worn in the middle of the head or off to either side and involves gathering the hair at the nape of the neck and pulling into a twist, either loose or taut, and essentially letting the layers of hair in the front fall where they may to create an elegant look. A different take on the chignon includes gathering bangs back in a bump to create a bit of volume on the top of the head. For a very special night out, add a flower or pretty pin to the chignon.
