Formal Updos
If you are going to attend any formal event that requires you to wear a full gown, then you need to opt for a formal updo to go with the dress. Unlike popular belief formal updos are not that hard to do and you can create some simple hairstyles at the comfort of your own home. Whether you have long hair, shoulder length hair or short hair, there is a formal updo which is suitable for all hair length and textures. You should choose formal updos keeping in mind the style of dress you are going to wear and the face structure that you have. Best formal hairdos are those that flatter your face and suit your overall style.
Easy Formal Hair Updos
Elegant Grecian Bun
One of the best formal updos for long hair is the elegant Grecian bun. This look can be achieved by first brushing your hair to remove all kinks and tangles. Now take the top section of your hair and use a clip to hold it behind your head. Brush the rest of your hair and secure it in the middle of your head into a ponytail. Divide the hair in your ponytail and begin tucking small portions of the hair under the hair band little by little until you a round bun. Now back brush the sectioned piece of hair that you had secured with a clip on the top portion of your head to create volume. When you have created the required amount of volume, smooth over the top layer and tuck the longest section of the hair under your bun. Spray your hair with a hairspray and you are ready!
Ponytail Bun
If you are looking for formal updos for medium hair, then here is a very easy one. Start by combing freshly washed clean hair and then blow dry hair straight. If your hair has a slight wave to it is or is naturally curly then apply a straightening serum before blow drying. After you are done blow drying your hair, spray your hair with a firm holding spray. Secure your hair into a low ponytail at the back of your head. Back comb the crown area, to give more volume. Divide the ponytail into two sections and curl each section with a large barrel curling iron. Wrap the curls around the ponytail so that it hides the hair band. Secure it with bobby pins pinned around the edges. Spray with a firm holding styling spray so that the elegant updo stays in place.
Bun with Side Swept Bangs
Another great hairstyle that qualifies as a formal wedding updo is the elegant bun with side swept bangs. To create this updo you need clean dry hair that has been shampooed a day earlier. Use a wide toothed comb to get rid of any tangles in hair and apply a straightening serum to your strands. With the help of a hairdryer and a large paddle brush, blow dry your hair straight. Continue blow drying your hair in small sections until you are done blow drying your entire hair. Create a extreme side parting and apply hair mousse to hold the part. Now create a horizontal part that extend from behind one ear to the other. Divide the hair into front and back sections according to the part. Gather the back portion of your hair into a ponytail and secure with an elastic band. Curl some sections of the ponytail into soft curls and pin the curls around the base of the ponytail so that it falls into cascading curls. Iron the front section of the hair and sweep it into a long eye brushing side fringe. Attach a single bloom of flower in your hair for a romantic look.
So this was all about formal updos for all types of hair. With a bit of practice you can create these styles very easily and look chic and elegant.
