Engagement Party Hairstyles

An engagement party is a once in a lifetime occasion that calls for beautiful, romantic hair. The pictures of your engagement party will be around for the rest of your life, so it's wise to steer away from styles that are very trendy. A good engagement party hairstyle will stay in place the entire night with minimal maintenance and will look good in photographs. Does this Spark an idea?

Hair Embellishments

One of the simplest ways to style your hair for your engagement party is to wear your hair like you normally would but add some romantic hair jewelry. This look is perfect for a casual engagement party and also works well if you don't want to have to spend a lot of time on your hair. Try adding a silk flower hair clip over your ear or using two tiny crystal clips on either side of your head. A beautiful barrette that matches your dress can be an elegant and stylish way to keep your hair out of your face.

French Twist

If you love vintage clothes and are planning an elegant, sophisticated engagement party, the French twist is the perfect hairstyle for a vintage dress. To create this hair style, gather your hair into a low pony tail at the nape of your neck. Flip the hair that hangs down from the pony tail upward and begin twisting until the twist extends to the top of your head. The result will be a hair style with a rolling, twisted appearance on one side. Pin the ends of your hair into the open side of the roll. This hairstyle looks especially good embellished with tiny hair clips, flowers or crystals.

Loose Waves

Loose, romantic waves never go out of style and have an air of simple sophistication. This style can be accomplished with hair textures ranging from curly to straight, but your hair must be at least shoulder length. To achieve this style, blow dry your hair until it's partially damp. Apply a mousse or styling gel. Divide hair into one- to two-inch sections, starting at the top front of your head. Smaller sections will yield tighter curls. Wrap hair loosely around velcro rollers and blow dry. Finger-comb hair and spray with a volume-enhancing hair spray.

Princess Hair

For a princess-inspired look, try pulling half of your hair back. Take a section from the front of each side of your head and twist it up and back against your head. The size of the section doesn't matter. Smaller sections will result in smaller twists with more of your hair worn down. Pin the twists in the back of your head using a pretty barrette or pin them on the sides and then attach a hair flower to your hair in the back.
