Hairdos or hairstyles are ways of creating styles of the hair that vary widely in appearance and style. Women have many choices available when it comes to selecting their preferred look for this occasion.
1. Pompadour
Pompadours are timeless hairstyles with an elegant vibe and exude charismatic alpha-male traits. A pompadour can be styled to suit both personal preference and facial structure. Medium-height pomps paired with high skin fades may be most suitable for a round face. The classic ceremony requires thick hair to achieve its signature complete look; thin locks may slip out if too high up on the head.
2. Mohawk
Mohawk hairstyles have become increasingly popular with punks and rockers, yet anyone looking for something out-of-the-ordinary can wear this iconic style. Ask your stylist for a mohawk haircut featuring long top hair and taper fade sides to achieve this badass look. Add feminine flair by accentuating the mohawk with colorful hair accessories.
3. Updo
Updos are fashionable hairstyles for women that range from casual to easy to formal, depending on your desired look. From a winding ribbon delicately woven into a chignon to an edgy ponytail with braids, updos are suitable for any special event or celebration. Showcase thick, naturally curly locks with this adorable updo. For added feminine flair and event occasions such as weddings or formal functions, add real or faux flowers for added feminine elan!
4. Ponytail
The ponytail is an iconic style that can be enhanced with hair accessories – from pearl details for formal occasions to colorful headbands and scarves that express your individuality. Ponytails look beautiful on all hair textures and lengths. Low ponytails work particularly well for oval and heart-shaped faces, while square features can benefit from strengthening their jaw through strong ponytails.
5. Shag
The shag hairstyle is an eye-catching, adaptable style suitable for all hair textures. Choose a short and choppy version like Gabrielle Union or long and soft bangs like January Jones for maximum effect. Shags provide an ideal canvas for exploring color. Try blonde balayage for a natural aesthetic, or add face-framing highlights for an unexpected feminine twist.
6. Afro
The Afro hairstyle is characterized by full, rounded coils with its trademark texture that often gets dyed red for added flair. It represents empowerment to many. Afro hairstyles can look sophisticated when appropriately styled. This men’s afro features a high fade with a disconnected line-up that creates dense top layers while tapering sides for an eye-catching style.
7. Beehive
Those interested in vintage and old-school fashion styles can turn to the Beehive as an option. It is a cone-shaped hairstyle that emphasizes volume at its crown. Margaret Vinci Heldt, a Chicago hairstylist, popularized this hairstyle in the 1960s. Audrey Hepburn made it even more famous through her Breakfast at Tiffany’s look – you can still spot many female musicians rocking this look today!
8. Blowout
The Blowout hairstyle for men is trendy, which creates the illusion that one has just passed through an intense wind gust. This popular look often pairs bangs, as seen with Pauly D from Jersey Shore wearing this hairstyle. A blowout hairstyle can have any length on top and is typically styled back into a ponytail with the sides shaved short or very short for an off-duty feel. This look exudes relaxation while being slightly more casual than its counterpart.
9. Faux Mohawk
Mohawks, often associated with nonconformism and being rebellious individuals, feature shaved sides and a conspicuous stripe of longer hair on top. A faux Mohawk (commonly called Fohawk) offers less dramatic styling of this iconic style. To achieve the punk look, apply texturizing spray or gel and tease your roots for additional volume. Add some pomade for texture before sweeping back the sides.
10. Faux Ponytail
When your everyday ponytail becomes boring, adding loose strands around your face can soften and create an effortless summery style. This works exceptionally well on ombre hair or hair with highlights. It can easily be accomplished using premade faux ponytails – or try braided ponytails without actually doing them yourself!
