Simple, fancy hairstyles can be an easy and stylish way to elevate your look for weddings and formal events, from easy ’90s tendrils to braided updos.
1. Side Twisted Updo
A side twisted updo is one of the easiest fancy hairstyles you can create. This braided style combines twists with thin cornrows for an eye-catching multi-textured black updo, adding glamour and edge to your look. Create this stunning hairstyle by sectioning off large sections of hair, weaving flat twists through them, and creating a bun on the back of your head that you pin in place – the result will give an elegant and sophisticated look perfect for formal occasions.
2. Braided Updo
A woven braided updo works beautifully on all lengths and textures of hair, including for women with longer locks who want an updo suitable for formal events like weddings. Weave extra-large braids, then twist and weave them together until a sizeable round bun rests atop your crown of the head; leave some wispy strands loose to frame your face, and add flowers, or other accessories for personalization of this elegant updo. Goddess box braids look exquisite when added to an updo for a refined Greek aesthetic. Add a gold coil for even greater attention-grabbing appeal on any special occasion! With an updo like this, it is sure to draw stares.
3. Low Ponytail
Ponytails may be associated with gym class or binge-watching series, but this look shows their elegant side. A low ponytail with a twist and face-framing bangs adds romance to any ensemble. To achieve the look, start with a sleek ponytail and use your fingers or paddle brush to smooth and add volume. Pull a small section from the front of your head before braiding it and securing it with a hair tie at the back of your head. At the PatBO show, similar styles featured charming twist-wraps framed by the ponytails to create a romantic and feminine aesthetic. You could use an elastic to secure this style or another hair accessory to hide it, like bows.
4. Braided Bun
Braiding bun hairstyles is an elegant way to add volume, texture, and style. An intricate path of braids gathered into a gorgeous chignon creates a timeless and eye-catching look that is ideal for any outfit or event. To achieve this look, start with clean hair that has been moisturized with Nexxus Clean
