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.

Lisa Rinna

Lisa Rinna is sporting some real celebrity style with her beautiful short layered hairstyle. She always looks stunning with this modern day shag that gets its roots from the 70s when this hairdo was introduced by popular TV stars of that time. She has shorter layers around the crown to add lift and fullness to this very sexy "do." The real retro version of the shag was hour-glass shaped, but today's interpretations include a tousled appearance to make it fun and sassy. Using a round brush and concentrating heat to the roots while lifting at the same time helps to achieve this style. Using a root lifter hair product cannot hurt. This would be applied to hair prior to styling. The bottom strands are flipped outward while drying and a shot of cold air helps the final set. What a great look for just about any occasion from casual to formal.

If you are looking for an example of a feathered hairstyle, take a look at this one. Brooke Burns has medium to long blonde hair that is parted off center with the bangs brushed to side which is typical of this retro hairdo. The sides are curled back to make the strands resemble feathers. This is done with the proper haircut and then blow-dried with a round brush while pulling hair toward the back. A curling iron can be used to touch up.
