Many of us strive to look our best during Zoom meetings. While outfits and makeup trends play a part, your hair is equally significant in making an impressionful statement about who you are as an employee. No matter your hair length, there’s sure to be something suitable. These elegant yet effortless styles will make you look your best and boost your style quotient!
Slicked-Back Updo
When you see celebrities or models with what appears to be wet hair in paparazzi photos, they likely have on a sleek, slicked-back updo style. Perfect for red carpet events and everyday street wear or designer gowns.
Texturing hair before slicking back your style is critical to creating more polished styles. Use a texturizing spray on dampened locks before lubricating the back and front so the crown remains full while preventing flattening out of volume on top of your head.
Slick-back updos are timeless yet contemporary styles, perfect for any special occasion or just because. But why settle for the same old thing when there are more ways to customize and personalize it? Add an adorable clip or headband to make your original style stand out.
Braided Updo
Whether you have box braids, cornrows, or twists – pull them into an updo that will look gorgeous and show them off to their fullest potential! A low-key updo can also be worn day and night for maximum impact!
Add texture to your braided updo with texturizing gel, and secure it with hairspray to hold its look. Accessorize further by including head scarves or jewelry as accessories to complete your ensemble.
This romantic updo is perfect for weddings and other formal events, featuring loose waterfall ladder braids that come together into a side bun for added texture and ease.
Side-Swept Braid
Side-swept braids add a sophisticated flair to any ensemble. From basic three-strand braids, to fishtail or inverted French braids, and even using bobby pins to secure loose strands for a cleaner finish – side-swept braids bring class and sophistication into any room!
For an eye-catching red carpet event and to show your sense of fashion, the Dutch braid is elegant when styling long locks. Perfectly suitable for red carpet events and worn with any stylish gown.
This side-swept hairstyle is an effective way to show off face-framing tendrils. Ideal for all hair types and any occasion, Jessica Shults of Twisted Scissors Salon recommends using a wide-tooth comb first and untangling any knots before beginning this style.
Center Part
As long as your hair is thick, a center part is an effective way to create an elongated and balanced finished look with face-framing layers and allow more freedom with color if there are uneven tones on one side of your head. It may help if uneven lighting hasn’t yet faded with age.
Though Gen Z may have been told to thin their eyebrows and apply streaky orange faux tanner, they have taken pride in accepting flaws such as under-eye bags and side bangs as assets that should be celebrated and celebrated fully. Because of this acceptance, many Gen Zers support center parts that put all features front and center without hiding behind layers; this style remains timeless when worn with effortless waves.
Pearl Embellishments
Pearl embellishments are an easy way to elevate any look. From shoes and bags to jewelry and headwear, pearl embellishments can add a sophisticated and elegant feel to your wardrobe.
This year’s pearlcore trends include buttons on dresses, cuffs on tops and cardigans, and camisole straps adorned with pearls. This trend works for every style imaginable, from preppy romance to classic and edgy fashionistas!
Make a modern statement with pearls by incorporating them into jeans. Try this pearl embroidered denim jacket, or go for one with beads embellishing its hemline. Pearls have even made their way onto footwear like pearl-trimmed slides and mules!
Simple Updo
There is no need for extra effort when it comes to styling an updo. This simple style combines a ponytail and hair clips for an adorable yet sophisticated look, ideal for work.
Tease up the front of your hair a little for extra volume, then pull it into a high ponytail, tying it at the nape of your neck with an elastic hair tie and pins to secure it. Finish by spraying plenty of hairspray to reserve this style and lock the type in place.
This elegant updo would make a grand impression at formal events such as weddings. Add flowers for added charm!
