If you’re looking for a gorgeous formal hairstyle for a prom or wedding, make an appointment with your favourite hairstylist and take along photos of the look you want. As the weather gets warmer, you’ll see more and more formal dresses on display, in every style and type. When your special day comes, whether it’s your wedding or a dance, you’ll want to look your best. The ultra-stiff formal look is out of date, so you’ll want your hairstyle to be romantic, whimsical and loose.

One of the most elegant formal hairstyles is the classic formal updo. This is an especially good style if you haven’t yet decided how you want your style to look. Upswept with curls and some locks pinned down, this medium hairstyle is appropriate for any formal event, and it stays where you style it. An upsweep with pin-tucked curls, along with layers to frame your face and long bangs swept to the side, is a classic medium or short hairstyle that will go with any formal ensemble.

An updo can look fresher with your bangs brushed off to one side, and a softer pony-tail tucked underneath. One soft section can wrap around the updo to form a knot. This formal hairstyle is elegant, and just a bit different, so you’ll stand out. You can add hairpins for a more subtle detail, and the hairstyle will look glamorous. This formal hairstyle is perfect for longer, straighter hair.

Incorporating braids into a formal hair style is very much in vogue this season, and you can put a twist on the conventional type of braids. A braided bun will give you a romantic look and will keep your hair secure, even with all the dancing you’ll be doing.

It’s hard to go wrong with a formal hair style that includes waves and curls. Corkscrew curls can be relaxed and pulled back into a pony tail, with your loose ends freely falling. You can wrap this hairstyle with a hair vine for a look that is elegant and simple at the same time. It will give off an aura that says it is delicate and soft, but it will actually stay in style with all the dancing.
