If you want to create a special and dramatic look for that
special occasion, the last thing you want to do is look like a
cookie-cutter Barbie doll when it comes to your hairstyle. And
the truth is that many of your formal hairstyles were probably
just that, exact replicas of styles that were worn on every
special occasion for years stretching back into time. But it
doesn't have to be that way. You can create a different and
exciting new updo for each and every formal occasion even if you
only know how to do one type of formal hairstyle.
You see, the key to creating a different look lies in the
details. You could actually style your hair in a French twist
without having the same look twice if you added special touches
and elements to your style. Here's how:
· Straighten instead of curl - In many updos, the free pieces
are curled with a curling iron. You can change your look simply
by using a flat iron to sleek down these pieces instead of
curling them up. You can even alternate using a crimping iron
and flat iron to create a dramatic effect. · Leave pieces free
for effect - You can also experiment by leaving different pieces
of your updo free. For example: try leaving a ½" section of hair
around your complete hairline free from the updo. Pull your hair
up into a simple pony tail. Then, take ½" sections of the free
hair and crisscross it in a basket-weave style on top of your
updo. Pin into place, and you've created a unique look with
little effort. · Use accessories - By using simple accessories
such as hair extensions of a different color than your hair and
ribbons, you can add a lot of interest to your updo. Simply
insert small strands of hair or ribbon into your style to create
splash of color and drama. You can color coordinate these with
your dress or use natural colors that will compliment your hair
color. · Flowers - Inserting a small floral accessory into your
updo is also a good idea as long as you don't take it overboard.
Choose very small flowers and use them sparingly. Using too many
will make you look like a flower arrangement. Remember,
accessories are used to compliment your style, not overpower it.
In addition to these ideas, there are many more that you can
experiment with. Just remember that small changes make a big
difference when it comes to adding that special touch to your
updo. So, even if you don't have a lot of creativity and talent,
you can still create breathtaking updos that will be envied by
all who see them.
