Any Advice on Updos?

Question

I have shoulder length, dark brown hair with red lowlights, and my hair is really thick and curly. (Not teeny tiny curls either. BIG ones.) I have an important dinner to attend on Christmas Eve, and I want my hair to be worn up, and actually look okay. Does anyone have any links, or suggestions that would work with the hair that I'm describing? Thanks a bunch, and Happy Holidays!

They have hundreds of pictures of hairstyles organized by style, length, etc.

Answer 2

You have like the exact same hair as me....big,reddishbrown curls shoulder length. I suggest putting your hair up in a bun that is almost a ponytail near the middle of your head, but make it look a little messy and fun. Not messy like you just got out of bed,though. I gave you a link to the picture. If you can manage, keep your big curls in the back.Make sure you wear more natural make-up, because it makes your hair really accentuate your features. I wore this when I was a bridesmaid, and everyone really liked it. Enjoy the dinner, and Happy Holidays. :)

Answer 3

The beachy waves look is executed by ability of making a blend of saltwater to spray on your hair alongside with mousse, and then scrunching your hair and letting it dry mutually as scrunched. A messy ponytail could be executed by ability of making your hair right into a ponytail without utilising a comb or brush, in basic terms your palms. Messy buns are in basic terms ponytails in basic terms 0.5 looped interior the direction of the final time, then tousled somewhat with your palms.

Answer 4

Sure. Pull it up into a pony tail, but before you put the elastic in, twist it in the same direction a couple of times. Then clip it with an attractive butterfly clip and it should create kind of a 'fall' effect. Its simple but pretty.
