Natasha Bedingfield is full of style here with her partial updo sedu hairstyle and side swept bangs. Hair is parted from ear to ear across the top of her head and then pulled back and secured with cover bobby pins behind the ears. The top has a bit of height that can accomplished with a little back combing. A deep side part with bangs brushed over her eye gives a flirty appeal. Her golden blonde mane is medium length. Her dangle earrings can be easily seen. This would be a cute look for any special occasion. This picture of the lovely lady was taken at the Sephora 10th Anniversary Party Celebrating "10 Years of Gorgeous."

When a short hairstyle is in order, maybe consider Ellen Barkin with her inverted bob and side swept bangs. The back side of this hairdo is cut shorter than the front which is right at the jawline. She is wearing it straight in a sedu fashion. The color is light and bright as in blonde. Hair is short enough to allow the dangle earrings to show.

If you are looking for a simple yet elegant updo, take a look at Tara Reid. She has pulled her locks straight back and gathered them low at the nape of the neck and twisted them into a tight little knot. Covered bobby pins can be used to secure it or a pony tie. The advantage of this easy look is the fact that her face and features are accentuated and so are her drop dangle earrings.

Sometimes a simple ponytail that is secured low toward the neck can be very elegant as we see Alicia Keys wearing here in this picture taken of her at the "We are Together" Premiere in New York on June 12th 2008. Strands are brushed straight back (bang-less) and have  a wet look that can be accomplished with the right product. Locks that are not freshly washed work the best for this type of style. It is much easier to work with second-day hair on a project like this one (as if hairstyling were a project). This would be a great idea if you had worked all day and had to get ready in a hurry for a special evening event. It is quick and easy and looks beautiful. Alicia's make-up looks young and fresh and love the light pink lipstick on her. Her earrings are very cool: several hoops inside of each other that dangle down past the shoulders. No necklace would be a good idea with this look as the ear jewelry is enough.

Here's an example of a cute cropped cut that would be simple and easy care as well as up to date. It is somewhat similar to a retro shag which has many variations. This one is layered and full on top with longer pieces that come down the neck. The bangs are very textured with a razor-like edge and they are brushed to the side. There is no part and so therefor a bit tousled. This is a style to show off those long dangle earrings that are so in these days.

Wow, here is an example of what might have been crazy back in the 60's. What a tall head of hair! This woman's hairstyle has the height of a beehive. Her dark hair is ratted and hairsprayed into a style that is tall enough to look like a top hat. The sides are short and cut at about mid-ear to show her dangle earrings. Her bangs are cut short. What a look! The cat wearing the cat-eye sunglasses is a nice touch as well.
