Hairdos for My party!


Your ensemble will dictate the kind of hairstyle you could have; but why not turn it around? Match your dress, accessories and shoes to an exciting yet easy coiffure. Figure from the list below where your hair-length fits and what hairdo you can experiment with.

# Using Hair Embellishments
Accessories are in vogue, brooches, butterfly claws, Alice head bands, barrettes, bobby pins, hair nets, tick tacks, feather clips, necklaces, earrings or tiaras tastefully transform any hairdo. Choosing the right accessory to your personality will enhance your sex appeal. However two things to remember: Plastic accessories spell cheap and multi coloured hair bands/nets/feathers cannot be paired with a multi coloured dress – it would be a colour chaos and should be avoided at all cost. It is best to do a dress rehearsal wearing your accessories.

# Using Colour, Glitter Strings or Weaves
The solid colours look great only if you can carry off the punk look. Black and white shaded hair looks mesmerizing, if you can pull it off. Streaking is a good idea. Highlights like glittering strings, a bead braid or woollen strings will improve the hairdo.  

1. For Long Hair

Dressy Braids
Braided hair can be very stylish, if you play around with the braiding styles. The best part about braided hair is that they do not need to be managed. French braids are a very popular and they can be dressed up by weaving a strand of sparkly ribbon through the braid. You could also add tiny rhinestone clips, barrettes on the sides of the head or use a multicolour scrunchie to tie the tail if the braid. To liven up your hair do, experiment with many thin braids all over your scalp or straighten your hair and braid only a small portion on either side of your head. You could also streak or colour this braid. 
Chignons and French Rolls
You simply can't go wrong with these two, they have been in fashion forever! They work fabulously on any hair type: straight, curly or wavy hair. You just need the length to get the hair in the roll and girdle it with a net or a ring of flowers or a large diamond/ multicoloured studded claw.
The Pompadour
Derived from Madame de Pompadour, this hairstyle has been seen on the ramp and on magazine covers through decades. There are many new variations to the pompadour and while styling you could create your signature quiff. The fun part is that you could accessorise it in three parts – first the poof, then the bun and finally the tail. If you have curling tongs, do curl up the tail for a sexy swoosh. Reverse is required for curly haired ladies, use a wavy or a straightening iron, but do not over do.
2. For a Short Crop
Pixie is by far the most popular hairstyle due to its tomboyish and androgynous appeal. If you have a small body frame, the pixie haircut with an Alice head band, your necklace around your head or if you have string necklace with small beads then you could use half a dozen of multicoloured ones on the head.
You could go full colour, say a solid blue, olive green or red and use a black or yellow tick tacks to raise eyebrows and make heads turn. Remember that it can be tasteful and wild at the simultaneously, so die your hair correctly. 
A sexy bob is by far the most appealing hair style in the books. It is ideal to wash your hair and decide whether you want to in curl or out curl them. Depending on that you could choose a dozen accessories including a barrette, a hair band, a brooch or feather clips, a single flower, a net, or add glittering strands in various colours.   

3. For Shoulder Length Hair


Front Hair Poof is a coy hairstyle that can be pulled off with ease and secure it with tick tacks, bobby pins (use shocking colours), butterfly claws and barrettes. It is a must that you choose a well embellished and a stand-out accessory.
 
If you have a well defined jaw line or thin hair then it would be advisable to add volume to your hair. In both cases backcombing brings out the brilliance in hair texture and defines your face.  You could glamorize it with a long brooch by the side of your head.

The other way around is to part curl your hair at the ends and the front bands, swirl it back in a curl and use an accessory (a rhinestone clip or a studded tick tack)to hold it in place.
