party hairstyles

This is a wonderfully vintage hairstyle that features long hair that is styled into a fun and beautiful partial updo.

Vintage Partial Updo

This model is looking over her shoulder with a very mischievous look on her face which was very typical of magazine ad models during the 1940's and 1950's. As for her hairdo, the one side is pulled up and over toward the other side and secured for a roll effect. The bangs are directed to the side with a twist. The length is done up in defined spirals that have a corkscrew look. Here are some spiral irons that I found when I did a search on Amazon.

A deep side part is a focal point with the bangs being pulled up and over the forehead where there is a bend up above the eye on the other side. It almost looks the back is contained in a hairnet and it also has the look of a partial updo but it just seems to just be curled under. She has dark brown hair that is a nice compliment to her olive skin tone. Her party dress has lots of glitz and sparkle with sequins.

This one would be nice for a Holiday Party or a school dance or other festive occasion and boasts a pretty updo by Amy Adams.


She starts with a ponytail that sits high on the crown and then it fans out and is secured down at the base of the head. This makes for a pretty style that pulls all strands away from the face with a slicked back appeal. Her honey blonde color catches the light at AFI Fest 2012 – "On the Road" Gala Screening.
