party hairstyles

This edgy updo looks like a slicked back crop haircut from the front but when you look at the side view you can see how the long length is brought up and secured in the back.

This is a great updo to wear with a short and sassy party dress like Kelly Brook at Arqiva British Academy Television Awards 2012.

Kelly Brook

She has dark brown hair with lighter brown highlights. The strands are pulled straight back for a bang-less look and they are secured at the top of the crown. The bun is big, messy, and bouffant-ish for a retro 60's appeal but with an edgy twist. If one was missing the long hair needed to make this one work, then investing in a hair piece to plop on top and pin into place. Her party dress is full of black lace over pale pink fabric. It is strapless and fitted down just past the waist with a ruffle skirt that hits above the knees. She is carrying a trendy blue clutch!

This one is a bit eccentric and good for those looking for a deviation from the main stream. Phoebe Price has long red waves and a clump of white feathers are stuck to one side of this hairstyle.

Updo

If you are looking for ideas on how to style your simple twisted bun updo then you must take a gander at this example. This is a close up view of the back of the hairstyle. The young woman has brunette hair and her lovely clip with a tan colored bow and lavender embellishment is a wonderful compliment. This one one has a neat and tidy appeal that is not overdone, perhaps something the girl next door might wear. What a great choice for a school dance, party, or any formal outing or special occasion.

Here is a way to take long hair and turn it into an instant wavy bob with a swoosh of the length into an updo!

Lauren Conrad

What a quick and easy way to enjoy a new hairstyle without the cutting it short. The back is pinned up into a knot and one side is pulled back while the other has shoulder length strands that are crimped into waves. She has a medium brown shade with honey highlights. Her hot pink lipstick show off her nice white smile. Dramatic black eyeliner give a sort of cat eye effect.
