Hair Updos This Season — Think Accessories

“Hair Updos for Fall”Hair updos like Drew Barrymore is wearing at this event at Grey Gardens, Academy of TV Arts and Science in Hollywood, is both classy and casual! By adding a feather clip to her messy hair updo she creates a vintage flair to this hairstyle, which perfectly fit’s her character in this film. When choosing hair, earrings and any other accessories, keep your choices congruent with the fashion statement you want to make!

Hair Updos — Double Headband

Have you gotten yourself a headband yet?  If not, better get to it!  So many styles to choose from with just as many ways to wear them! Love these hair updos with the double-band look because they’re so quick and easy to do and the look is so feminine and mysteriously nymph like!

To get this look, create some texture by using a hair styling mouse, like Sebastian Whipped Creme, and blow-dry with a round brush. Curl hair loosely using a large or medium barrel curling iron. Twist hair into a high loose, bun, letting some fall out. Using two headbands, push hair forward between the two bands to give lift and separation and use a finishing spray to hold.

Hair Updos — Fall Favorite

Although the first impression of the hair updo seems to be dressy, this can be worn just as easy as an everyday look. Great for second day hair, this is brushed into a loose low side ponytail which you don’t pull the ends entirely through. Style front by creating wave with a curling iron and back-combing for lots of height, spray and go!

Hair Updos - Half Updos with loose waves

Kelly Ripa wears an easy half updo with elegance. This hair style has just gotten hotter and hotter and can be worn as easy with jeans as to an elegant soiree! Change it by sweeping the hair off the face and back-combing for height, while the length falls in unkempt waves. Catch the slicked back sides with a barrette and tuck the top underneath.

Hair Updos — Braids

Hair updos with braids are endless! The key to this casual looking braid is starting the braid out low and letting sides fall out just a bit. It creates an easy but feminine look.

Updo Hairstyles are Messy this Summer!
“Updo Hairstyles
the Messy Look”

The hottest updo hairstyles for summer aren’t really updo hairstyles at all, but messy styles or undone looks that are simply pulled up and off your neck and shoulders. The great thing about this summers updo hairstyles, is that you can turn a more casual hairstyle into something that looks elegant and chic or messy and undone! Here are some of my favorite messy updo hairstyles that you can style easily at home:

Vanessa Hudgens Curly Summer Updo Hairstyles Look

Updo hairstyles like this one Vanessa Hudgens of “High School Musical” wears is quick and easy for summer hair. If you’ve got naturally curly hair, or wavy hair, now is the time to give your flat-iron a rest. Updo hairstyles like this one suggests working with your hair instead of fighting it.

To bring out the curl in your hairstyle, apply a styling cream or gel throughout damp hair and then comb through with a wide tooth comb. Then, you can scrunch and twist strands into beautiful bouncy curls. Pull the front section of your hair back and pin right at the front of your crown, then pull the rest of your hair up into a ponytail. You can pin sections of your hair up and around the base of the ponytail, giving this updo hairstyle, great dimension.

Messy Updo Hairstyle on Jennifer Lopez

Updo Hairstyles Like Jennifer’s is Messy Yet Elegant! Jennifer Lopez, always in fashion has also jumped on the messy updo hairstyle bandwagon. Her version of the messy updo hairstyle is great for all hair types.

If you want this look, start with clean, dry hair. Section your hair into three parts: a horizontal section from temple to temple, another horizontal section from the ear to ear and then a third section with the rest. Pull each section back one at a time and secure each one with criss-crossed bobby pins. Let your shorter pieces fall out naturally because this look is very relaxed and casual.

Updo Hairstyle on Sarah Michelle Gellar

I love Sarah Michelle Gellar’s take on this summer’s updo hairstyles trend. Her version is very laid back, but the headband gives it a stylish spin. Headbands and hair accessories are hot this season, so pairing a headband with your messy summer updo hairstyle look is even hotter! This is a super easy style to pull off, simply pull your hair back into a bun at the crown of your head and slip on a headband to get this look. I recently wore this look on my way out to run errands and got so many compliments on it. What’s best is that the hairstyle took less than sixty seconds to style!

All three of these messy summer updo hairstyles reflect the time of the season and are great to try out this summer. If you’re looking for the quickest and easiest in updo hairstyles, I highly recommend Sarah Michelle Gellar’s look, it is the most simple  to do and looks great on just about everyone.

Bridesmaid Hairstyles

“Bridesmaid Hairstyles”Bridesmaid hairstyles can’t be forgotten in my wedding hair series, so I am dedicating this article completely to bridesmaids. Personally, I am a fan of casual bridesmaid hairstyles. Keeping the bridesmaid hairstyles more subdued, is just one more way to give the bride more of the spotlight on her big day. I prefer for the bride to stand out as much as possible, whether it comes to dresses, hairstyles or anything to do with the wedding. However, I understand there are probably too many options out there to choose from, so here are some of my suggestions for bridesmaid hairstyles!

Bridesmaid Hairstyles - Sleek and Simple Up  Dos

Sleek and simple bridesmaid hairstyles, worn in classy updos, is a great choice for a formal event. You can choose to do different updo hairstyle for each bridesmaid, or you can opt to have all of your attendants wearing the same bridesmaid hairstyle, which is really a classy look! With a formal event, I would strongly suggest hiring a professional hairdresser to do the bridesmaid hairstyles, since most, if not all the bridesmaids will not know how to style their hair this way.

Bridesmaid  Hairstyles -  Half Updos

I love this hairstyle for bridesmaids because it looks attractive on most everybody and  doesn’t require everyone to have the same length of hair. You can wear just a bit of hair up, if you have very short strands, or you can put more up if your hair is longer. Perfect for showing off a bridesmaid dress with a great neckline, this bridesmaid hairstyle is contemporary and will work for just about everyone and just about any dress.

Bridesmaid Hairstyles – The Side Pony

One of my favorite bridesmaid hairstyles is a side ponytail. The side ponytail is so versatile because it can be worn sleek and smooth for a formal event or it can be styled full of volume and body for a more laid back affair. You can also add accessories such as fresh flowers, or something sparkly, to spice up the bridesmaid hairstyle even more. This hairstyle is also easy on the budget because most women with long enough hair to do this, can easily style their hair into a side ponytail.

Remember to match your bridesmaid hairstyles, with the tone of the event, just as you would coordinate any other part of the wedding. A formal event calls for formal hairstyles and it follows, a casual event calls for equally laid-back bridesmaid hairstyles.
