If there is one event that you should consider wearing an updo hairstyle to it is your high school prom. You probably won’t have much occasion to wear it during the rest of your life, unless you opt for an updo hairstyle at your wedding (although wearing your hair loosely or down is becoming very popular for brides) so you might as well do it now.
There is plenty of inspiration for your updo hairstyle available in pictures on web sites about fashion on the Internet as well as in fashion magazines. Teen magazines that are available both online and offline are good sources of inspiration for an age appropriate modern updo hairstyle. A good example of such a magazine is Seventeen Magazine that is available both on the stands and on the Internet.
You can also probably get some great ideas for funky looking updos that are a bit more hip than the hairstyle worn by your mother at her prom by mimicking what singers and celebrities are doing with their hair. One example of a celebrity who has very interesting updos is Gwen Stefani. She wears her hair in several braided coils in rows across her head and also in several tiny jewel studded buns that are placed all over the head. She has also braided her hair into cornrows and worn a nicely coiffed bun that looks like it belongs in a movie starring Joan Crawford.
Yet another fashion setting celebrity who has great updo hairstyles when she goes out is Paris Hilton. Mostly Paris Hilton wears updo styles that are created from perfectly straight and sleek hair. She will wear a high top bun or chignon on top of her head that looks like it is straight out of the pages of the 1960’s society pages. To emphasize the kitschiness of her look Paris often adorns her updo hairstyle with an outrageously large bow or hairpiece of some kind.
One classic hairstyle that never goes out of style is the French Twist. It is also very easy to accomplish. You simply take a hank of hair and twist it up the back of your head. You then pin the coil so that it is secure. This is the style that was always worn by the great actress Grace Kelly in all over her movies. However one drawback of this updo hairstyle is that it has been done to death and that it can make you look older. Younger styles are ones that include cornrows or multiple buns on top of the head. It is also very fashionable to have sprigs of hair springing out of the top of a bun for a bit of a wild effect.
