When you think of a classic and chic style, the Updo comes to mind. This is a great look to try for the holidays or any special occasion. You want to start with knowing the shape of your face. There are a lot of updo styles to choose from. Let’s take a look at some updo looks that will look good on you.
If you have a strong jaw shape, you most likely have a Square shaped face. Any updo style you choose should pull the hair away from your face. Don’t have any loose strands around your dace, since your jaw line will look bigger. Stay even with your eye line when pulling your hair back into a ponytail or bun. Tease your hair a little to add some volume before you pull your hair back to add a little more drama to your look. This is a great party look.
Almost any updo will look great if you are lucky enough to have an Oval face shape. A French Twist is a great choice. The French Twist pulls the hair back and away from your face. To soften up the look, just pull some strands of hair out loosely around your hairline.
For a heart-shaped face, try a swept- back chignon. Take the hair up starting at the nape of your neck. Keep some hair some volume around the crown. Leave a few hairs hanging down if you want a more casual look during the day. Pull all your hair neatly back when you go out at night. You want to keep volume when you pull the hair back.
Add some softness around your face if your face is round. You can do a half updo, and make sure to leave some hair volume at the crown. To add a little more glamour, try a chic chignon. Frame your face with a few loose tendrils hanging down. If you have bangs, the wispy look with an updo is really stylish. Stay away from any updo that is pulled really tight, since that will add roundness to your face.
