Hairstyles for a sweet 15 celebration are elegant and sophisticated, but also young and fun.
A sweet 15, or Quinceanera, is the celebration of a woman's fifteenth birthday. In many cultures, this is the transition from childhood to womanhood. Therefore, the girl must look young but sophisticated at the same time. An elegant gown is chosen, a tiara is often worn, and a sophisticated hairstyle accentuates the gown and tiara. Choosing the right hairstyle for your type of hair will bring your whole look together.
Updo
This classic updo is a young, sleek style for a 15-year-old. Comb a firm holding gel into damp hair and then allow hair to dry straight or wavy. Smooth hair into a ponytail in the middle of the head and secure with a band. Use a comb to slightly raise the hair on top of the head and give it volume. Take a small clump of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the base of the ponytail once. Pin this piece of hair near the base of the ponytail and allow the tail of the hair, which should be a couple inches along, to freely loop downward.
Continue until all the hair from the ponytail is arranged around the ponytail and falling in an attractive fashion. Curl the tails if desired. Use hairspray to keep the hair in place.
Braid
Many girls wear tiaras during their sweet 15 celebrations. If you do not plan on wearing a crown or tiara, SuperQuince.com suggests you create your own crown with a fancy braid. Pull your hair into a high ponytail and begin braiding the ponytail. Weave ribbons into the braid that correlate with the colors of your dress. When you're done, wrap the braid around your head in a circular motion and secure with bobby pins. You can wrap the braid around the top or the bottom of your head.
If you want to leave some hair down, part your hair in the middle and braid the two front sides of your hair. Secure the two braids in the back of the head where they meet with bobby pins, and curl the rest of the hair in the back.
Short Hair
Not as many elegant updos are available for girls with short to medium-length hair, but the hair can still be made to look elegant without lifting it into an updo. Try separating the hair around your face into small sections. Twist each section tightly from the front to the back of your head. Secure each twisted section to the back of your head with bobby pins, leaving at least an inch of hair loose at the ends. Curl the ends and apply hairspray to keep the hair in place.
To make your hair appear longer, attach extensions to the ends of each twisted section. Consider adding glitter. fancy gems or barrettes to the twists as an enhancement. A tiara can be placed above the twisted sections.
