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.

This young African American woman looks hot with this sexy sedu hairstyle. The bangs are cut to look chopped and they are brushed to the side and very straight. They are long enough to cover the eyebrow. There is a side part with the top being flat and smooth and combed to one side. The color is lightened up a notch. A visit to a professional salon for a relaxer treatment will provide the groundwork to make a style like this happen.
