Formal Hairstyle Tutorials We Are Crushing On Right Now

Romantic Retro Curls

Feel like going for that ultra posh retro glam look? Try Lauren Conrad’s style! Once you’ve given your hair a good blowout do, the following:

1/ Pick your part! Do a neat side part using a comb.

2/ Create large sections of hair and curl it up using a large (preferably 2”) curling wand.

3/ Secure each curl with clips, pinning it inwards (towards your face).

4/ Once your hair has cooled down, remove the pins.

5/ Shape the curls together using a large boar bristle brush.

6/ Finish the look with some hairspray to set the style! Now, go smile and conquer the night!

Back Bun Bouffant

We want to start a slow clap and a standing ovation for Bobby Glam’s elegantly immense bun! Another vintage style that deserves a great revival! Prep hair with some mousse before blow drying it to keep frizz at bay.

1/ Create a low ponytail first before pushing hair in front to do a second one by securing hair (near the end) with an elastic.

2/ Flip the second one inwards on top of the base of your first ponytail and secure it with bobby pins.

3/ Arrange the bubble bun you’ve created by spreading it gently with a comb from side to side.

4/ Secure the bun all over with bobby pins making sure that the elastic you used for ponytail is entirely covered before setting it with hairspray.

5/ Voilà! Vintage chic!

The Fun Bun

Looking for a playful (and youthful) hairstyle for prom? Check out this easy – with a big impact – bun from The Beauty Department!

1/ Put a tiny amount of styling cream to dry hair before curling it.

2/ Do a high ponytail, but before you do one more round with your elastic…

3/ …create a big loop on top leaving a few inches of hair loose to wrap around the base.

4/ Do a slinky spread to your big loop.

5&6/ Loosely wrap the excess hair you created (no. 4) around the base of the ponytail.

7/ Secure your bun with pins before tucking in stray hairs at the base.

8/ Use an ample amount of hairspray to hold the style all throughout the night.

The Chignon Twist

Okay, we confess – an ordinary chignon (though elegant in its simplicity) is just plain boring. Thank goodness for tweaked versions such as Fashion Magazine’s! It gave a whole new interesting twist to this Grecian ‘do!

1/ Section hair on each side then tease the middle section to create texture and volume.

2/ Do a low ponytail on the teased middle section, pushing on the crown for some poof.

3/ Roll the ends of your ponytail towards the nape of your neck and secure it with pins.

4/ Take the section (right) you did earlier, twist it then put it over the chignon. Tuck and pin the ends underneath. Do the same on the other side.

5/ Leave some loose strands on one side for a dreamy look. You can also opt to curl some strands on top for an additional drama.

6/ Intricate coif with a flair!
