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.

Petra Nemcova showcases the perfect do for warmer months. This hairstyle forbids strands to touch the face which makes this a skin irritation-free look as well.

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.

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.
