Sophisticated Hairstyles

A gallery and commentary of my favourite sophisticated hairstyles, including elegant formal hairstyles amongst other elegant hairstyle.

Visual Gallery

Sophisticated hairstyles does not mean that it has to be complicated.

There must be some sort of effort to maintain a very chic hairstyle, even if the hairstyle (as you will see below) looks effortless.

You may go to a very good hairdresser, get your hair done regularly, or brush and blow it when you can.

Elegant sophisticated hair principles follow:

  1. Clean
  2. In place
  3. No roots showing
  4. Natural looking colour
  5. Frames your face
  6. Gives attention to your face, your whole person rather than the hair itself

Sophisticated Hairstyles

Shoulder Length Hair

One of the best ways to have many different types of sophisticated hairstyles is to have shoulder length hair. You can wear it up, down, inside or brushing outwards. Here are some visual examples.

To achieve this look, blow your hair inwards with a brush.

Here is another angle of the sophisticated hair below.

You may blow it outwards, or do nothing at all, if you have a good cut. Add some highlights for some definition.

Wearing it up adds instant sophistication.

There are many ways to do this, by wearing a chignon ...

Please go to my video hair tutorials
to learn how to do this.

Or wear them in all sorts of ponytails depending on what you are wearing.

If your top is quite frilly or has a bout of colour, you may want to tone down the 'dressiness' of the outfit by adding a casual ponytail.

Play around with it, wearing your fringe back,

or your fringe in front.

Sophisticated Black Hair Style

Sometimes with darker hair, it's easier to achieve a certain chic look.

Though this look seems simple and 'ordinary', I'll like to draw attention to the subtle differences that makes this ponytail a level more sophisticated than the rest.

This look is worn every where among the chic crowd in europe and fashion/designer circles.

Sophisticated hairstyles always focus on bringing out the best face. With a 'clean' (and I do not mean without make up) face, your eyes, smile, facial expressions communicate better.

Hair is always pulled back for maximum visibility of the face, somewhat hairsprayed/gelled to give a rather stiff look, without stray hairs out of place. The only movement of hair would be the ponytail.

Personally, I like to create a bump at the back, to create a bit more volume and roundness of the head.

A good backward combing of the hair can give you extra volume to give another sophisticated hairstyle.

I love fringes. If you can carry them off, meaning - if they suit your face and you've got a little bit of attitude, a willingness to stand out, wear them!

They look so chic.

I love the bob, or the POB (Victoria Beckham Hair).

Using Hair Accessories

I've always found that wrapping your head and hair keeps your hair in place against flyaway wind and always adds instant glamour.
