Anna Maria Perez looks like a hit here in this picture of her taken at the Shizue Boutique Grand Opening Summer Soiree in Beverly Hills on June 26th 2008. She has got some real retro sparkle here with her bouffant on top and long spiral curls below. This hairstyle has the appearance of a partial updo with the back combing on the crown. The hair is pulled straight back and smoothed over the top of the ratted underneath layers and secured high on the back of the head with a clip. This would help to get the height that we see here. The bangs are flat ironed and brushed to one side. She is holding a cute little dog in her arms and toting a fancy hand bag in the other.

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.

A lovely bride wearing a dainty tiara looks like a princess on her big day. This young lady is wearing her hair up in an interesting updo that has twists at the top that are comprised of sections that wind around in little rolls. The bangs are side-swept and come down over the forehead. The head piece is placed to come down over the forehead. This is a different look and out of the ordinary and has a vintage flair. This would be beautiful on a tall thin bride as well as a petite small gal.

This little gal has naturally curly hair which is gently pulled up and secured in an old fashioned way. She has brown hair that is in nice contrast to her dress and flowers. This look would be beautiful for communion as well.

Now, here is a hairdo that reflects the retro 80s as well as the 60s in the fact that it combines the big full hair and the ratted bouffant. This is a partial updo with the back left down and long almost resembling the mane of a horse, and the sides are pulled up and secured at the back of the crown. The long strands at the top front are back combed and full of firm hold hair product to help it keep its shape which is tall and swirled around. This is certainly an eye catcher for those to who love to stand out. What a wild style but at the same time, its kind of fun and remotely cute.

Hats are a fun accessory that can add an element of whimsy to an outfit. Trendy this season is a cap that is a cross between a tam and a baseball hat like what the girl in this picture is wearing. This one is a pretty pink color that is complementary to her brown sweater. It is made of a corduroy material which gives it some texture. She is wearing her hair in an updo here as it is all tucked up to show off this great addition. This style of cap comes in all sorts of colors and materials and seems to be very popular right now.

This picture was taken in 1964 and is a great example of what types of hairstyles you might have seen on women and girls. The woman standing in the background is in her early 20's and is sporting a bouffant without bangs. Her hair is pulled up into an updo with much height and fullness that was accomplished with ratting the strands and products such as Dippity Do and Aquanet. Her eye make-up is dramatic with dark liner that extends past the corners. The mom has a bleach blonde poof doo. The child has a pixie cut and back then parents usually cut their kid's hair which is obvious with the uneveness.

Elegant updos seem to be the preferred prom hairstyle for most young women. Here is an example of one that is quite different and unusual. This gal has fairly long fine blonde hair that is styled into a ponytail that starts from the forehead, has sections wound around itself, and is secured down the top of the head to the back to resemble a mane. The sides are slicked back for a touch of glamour.

Here is a beautiful updo for Christmas with a pretty red ribbon laced through the strands to add some festive cheer. If you have a party coming up and are looking for something different, check this one out. This is super easy to create with a little help and how to. Hair is easier to manage and pull up if it is not freshly washed. Start out by pulling hair back and securing it into a ponytail, then take pieces and twirl them around and secure with bobby pins. You could add some thin braids and pull them around then into the style. The look should be messy and not so perfect. Take a thin ribbon and thread it through a large blunt end craft needle and weave it in and out of the hairstyle. You could also add beads and glitter.
