10 Awesome Hairstyles For Social Occasion

Whether you're going out for a social occasion or are thinking about your big day, here are ten hairstyles to check out or recommend to your bridesmaids.

1. The updated ponytail

This is not the ponytail that you see in the school yard! Whether it's an ultra sleek pulled back look or a ponytail with a slight puff, this pulled back look showcases your shoulders, neck, and beautiful earrings.

2. Textured hair

When hair is touchable, approachable, and a little disheveled, there’s something supersexy about it. Contrast a super sleek gown with textured tresses or a beautiful formal gown with a messy bun.

3. Bejeweled

A soft, textured updo with a shiny pin or clip or chunky barett provides contrast and makes a style statement. For your hair accessory to really pop, keep your jewelry simple.

4. The New Tiara

We love tiaras as much as the next girl, but sometimes they're a little too loud. We love the understated elegance of a slim headband. It's like an updated tiara: modern and sleek.

5.French braids wrapped around the head

The best thing about this look is that it doesn't have to be perfect. A disheveled appearance is more charming. Don’t worry if you have to fudge a little or pieces fall out along the way—when the braid is too perfect, it can resemble a crown.

6. Side Braid

When you’re done with the braid, break it up with your fingers to make it seem less done. You can also weave multiple braids into the side-swept style.

7. A Loose Chignon

It’s a timeless style that can be worn to both a casual and fancy event. A center part for a more youthful look, but for an unexpected twist, place the bun slightly off-center.

8. Play it Straight

Strong parting adds definition and elegance to any style, and heightens the simplicity of the dress

9. The Side-parted Updo

A deep side part is very glamorous. You should always place it above the highest point of the brow so that it creates a linear appearance and draws attention to your eyes. If your part isn’t lined up this way, it can be distracting.

10. Shiny Hair

Smooth, sleek waves are always in, but for a real statement maker, lacquered old-Hollywood curls are polished and gorgeous.
