Looking for an updo that will add length to your face? Look no further than the pompadour! The sides should be sleek to avoid the appearance of width while the top should be teased and molded into a polished pouf. Fine, flat strands will benefit from using texturizing agents such as Redken’s Curvaceous Wave Ahead to create this style.

We’ve come up with a plan for our Emilia Clarke obsession. If we can’t be BFF’s with her or her low side bun hairstyle with a heavy side part, we’ll just play copycat! Who’s with us on this one?
Here’s how: Blow dry your mane, giving it a good body as you go for better grip. Create a deep side part before swirling thin section of the lower half of your mane around a clampless curling iron for 5 seconds. Gather your hair to one side then create a very loose low ponytail. Twist the end of the ‘tail into a bun and hold with pins. Spread the sides to loosen the style further. Mist the coif with hairspray with light hold.

A loose chignon with soft, long tendrils on the side just like Lucy Watson’s is very avant-garde and versatile. You can use it in almost all types of occasions and is appropriate for all face shapes. If your fine strands won’t cooperate to the desired messy effect, apply a texturizing spray or use a day-old hair for better composition and hold.

DIY: Do a side part before separating hair horizontally – from below the right ear to the left. Tie the top section first to get it out of the way. Slice the bottom section vertically into two then braid each until the ends and secure with elastic. Pull the right braided strand over the top and across the opposite side and secure with pins. Do the same to the other braided strand. Make sure the ends are hidden for a clean look. Gather the top section into a low knot as a finishing touch.

A simple bun hairstyle can be prettified with a long tendril to one side. This is an easy peasy type of coif and can be done in five minutes or less…guaranteed! First, do a side part then separate a section (about three inches will do) of your hair in front. Gather the rest of your hair into a low or high ponytail and tie with elastic. Twist the ends of the pony into a tight bun and hold using bobby pins or a spiral pin. Twist the section of your hair all around a hot curling wand, count to five (with the 1,000, please) then release. Done!

A beehive hairstyle is always a delight to see. It has a dash of eccentricity but is still unmistakably elegant. Instead of doing a centrally even beehive that will make the Coneheads swoon, Archie Panjabi opted for a slightly tilted version. Not too shabby, we say. Create a large bun under that pouf to make your beehive extra large. Tease your hair gently from the roots and use a hairspray with a super strong hold to make the coif last.
