Elegant Updos
Elegant Updos, elegant formal hairstyles - easy and elegant, elegant prom hairstyles, elegant celebrity updos are all the keywords that came back to me after I've brainstormed what you guys are searching for.
Through considerable experience from attending many social events and parties, as well as experimenting with various hairstyles over the years, I've mastered a few easy and elegant updos.
Now they work like my bestfriend, enabling me to achieve an elegant look in the matter of minutes.
So here is how:
I've scouted for videos for elegant formal hairstyles to try to show you the best (and not necessarily the most popular) 'easy' way to achieve an elegant updo. I've voluntarily sat through viewing and sifting through the nonsense and picked out the best for you. It was fun though.
Classic French Twist
There are many ways of doing a French Twist, but this is for people with longer hair (mid back to waist). And instead of using a hair clip like she does in the video, use the french bobby pins, and insert at least 10-15 all over the hair.
Depending on how fine and silky your hair is, use hairspray too.
I chose the above video because that was how the original french twist was taught to me (adding on the bobby pins).
This one shows a quick and easy french twist.
Elegant Hair With Ribbons
Ribbons are more popular back many years ago and they are hardly seen today, but they are so classic. This shows how to braid your hair with a very chic black ribbon and twist it into a bun. This is one of my favourite looks!
Elegant Updo With a Pouf and Hairband
This is also a personal favourite elegant formal hairstyle. Though with my heavy and flat hair, I have to tease my hair a lot with a teasing comb, use a lot of hairspray. I've even put hair extensions in there to create a puffier look.
Tip : Use a good quality hair spray, preferably ones sold from a hair salon and a good quality teasing comb, otherwise it simply a waste of money.
Elegant Updo With a Softer Look
For those with shorter hair, this is how you can also achieve an "up-do". I generally love the softer look over the gelled, shiny, pulled back perfect look. It feels more feminine and hides any harsh angles on your face.
Elegant Updo - Very Princess Leia
For all those with thicker or longer hair. You may observe the use of french bobby pins as well. They are essential in your hair accessories box for all your elegant evenings!
Elegant Updo - Audrey Hepburn Hair The use of hair aids!
Well, according to this hair stylist anyway. I've used empty toilet paper rolls cut into half and popped them into my hair before to create more volume. This little padding sounds good, I suppose we can try using materials found in our home before buying hair accessories!
The classic Hair Bun
I used this method alot when I was a ballet student at my ballet school.
This video doesn't show much but you basically tie a pony tail then twist your hair in around until it wraps itself round the beginning of the pony tail.
Most of these videos I've selected are from fairly easy to medium difficulty and you probably can do it yourself without much help. Also, practice, practice practice!
