Elegant Hairstyles for Any Formal Occasion
Where Are the Frontiers of Elegance in Hairstyles?
Why we consider one hairstyle elegant, while another is referred to as casual? There are certain signs which help to recognize an elegant ‘do. Both pulled up and hair down hairstyles can be elegant. Therefore, in case you give your preference only to one type or another, you can create a concept of your own super-flattering elegant hairstyle.
- Elegant updos. Updos are a more common type of elegant ‘dos. They are a great match for floor-length décolleté gowns or dresses with interesting back cuts. Pulled up styles allow to show off stylish accessories, like eye-catching earrings and chic necklaces which otherwise could be lost under your mane. Elegant updos are neat and accurate: every lock is settled carefully even if it’s an intricate fancy design.
- Elegant downdos. If you do not feel like pulling your hair up, you can easily do with a free-flowing style that looks pretty elegant. Such hairstyles are commonly wavy with hair swept back, off the face or to one side. The waves are smooth, shiny, polished and sprayed to hold together.
- Elegant half up half down styles. These often feature a bouffant and free flowing curl. Bangs are also possible but they are supposed to be neat and preferably styled to a side. Under the influence of current tendencies, contemporary elegant hairstyles may acquire a very light messy touch. How does it look? See below…
1. Messy, Tucked Chignon
Give the classic chignon hairstyle a modern messy twist and make it extra voluminous. Spritz your hair with texturizing spray before twisting it into a bun. Tuck the ends at the nape of the neck and tug at the bun until you have the fullness and volume you desire.
2. Loose and Lovely Bridal Updo
Who says elegant hairstyles require a ton of work? Take your natural waves and pull them back into a loose low bun. For some added romance, allow a few strands to hang loose. Top the look off with a headband or tiara, and you’re ready for that walk down the aisle!
3. Fairytale Hairstyle
Try out an ethereal half updo for your next formal event. Take small sections of hair and secure them with clear elastic bands. Tie a few sections together and repeat this tie-and-gather method for a unique look that will have you looking like a fairy princess.
4. Soft, Curled Locks for Medium Hair
Don’t limit yourself to updos for formal affairs. Curl your hair with a one-inch curling iron and finger comb it so the waves loosen and hang naturally. Spritz with a volumizing, strong-hold hairspray, and you’ve got yourself the perfect look for a night on the town.
5. Sweet and Simple Beach Waves
Sometimes basic is best, right? If you’ve got an ultra-short bob and can’t figure out what to do with it, try curling it with a flat iron. Leave the ends uncurled — this will allow for natural, beachy waves that are effortless and beautiful.
6. Twisted and Curled Low Chignon
There’s a reason chignons have been a top choice in elegant hairstyles for so long. They have a way of transforming your look from “basic” to “fancy” in an instant. Go for the tried-and-true twisted chignon and see if you’re not the belle of the ball.
7. Quick and Easy Sideswept Curls
Show off your length and hair color by letting your curls flow to one side. Create a deep side part and curl your hair with a 1 ¼-inch curling iron. Spritz the curls with a spray wax or hairspray, but do not brush out the curls! You want to keep the shape of the curl for this look.
8. Sleek and Glamorous Updo
Go for a Cinderella-esque look by piling your hair up at the crown. Wrap a thin braid around your bun as well as a bedazzled headband or a string of pearls. This will add some flair to your elegant natural hairstyle
9. Everflowing Side Braid
Bohemian plaits are a great choice in elegant hairstyles for long hair. Try a sideswept plait that wraps around the front of the head and continues down the side. This will not only look amazing with your printed chiffon dress, but also show off your braiding skills!
10. Bohemian Fishtail Crown
If you’re a girl who prefers a more bohemian look, a fishtail crown is the way to go. Nothing screams style and elegance like effortlessly braided hair. Top off the look with a metallic headpiece and you will look every bit the Greek goddess!
