Paris Hilton's Oscar-Worthy Chignon

Right now, the sweetest looks are just a little messy. At the 80th Annual Academy Awards , all the A-listers sported sweet, carefree trendrils streaming from their effortless-looking updos. Think Jen Garner :

Flash Updo: Jen Garner's Oscar-Worthy Chignon

While you know she spent hours in a salon chair, this is a look easily duplicated in a number of minutes (providing you have enough hair to pull it off. I obviously don't) . It's just a low, messy chignon. This look will work best on long, gently wavy hair.

Flash Updo: Jen Garner's Oscar-Worthy Chignon

1. Give yourself a high side part on whichever side of your head you think looks best. To get hair to fall the right way, Jen's stylist probably blew sections dry starting closest to the scalp, pinning each section back until he'd finished.

2. If you have stick straight hair, you can now use a curler on the ends of your hair. Try for big, loose curls--tight, sausage-like curls are a little too prom, even if that's your ultimate destination. Trust me.

3. Gather hair into a low, loose ponytail (leave a few waves to frame the face for Jen's look). Leave the elastic relatively loose on the hair, and use bobby pins to secure it to your head.

4. Loop individual sections of hair around your ponytail's base, pinning loops into a loose bun (make sure you use bobby pins the same color as your hair). If you have too many loose ends once you've pinned all sections, don't fret. It's supposed to look sort of messy. It seems that Jen's stylist pinned the loose ends beneath the ponytail base, so if you have enough length to tuck them under, go ahead.

Sophisticated Hairstyles for Wedding

Sophisticated wedding hairstyles can be as simple as a great haircut with dramatic highlights. Short cuts are a great way to get sophisticated wedding hair, but women with medium-length or long hair can also get this look by paying attention to the lines of their cut. Brides that wish to look sophisticated on their wedding day should find a salon in an urban area or a salon elsewhere that advertises they have “city style” and try out a stylist there well in advance of the waiting date.

Casual Wedding Hair Styles Ideas

Casual wedding hair styles are the easiest wedding look for hair. They are favored by brides who want to get married outside, or whose most important goal for their wedding day is to have fun. Casual wedding hair doesn’t need to be planned far in advance; the bride can accomplish it herself by sticking with an everyday style that she knows flatters her. Make the look special by adding flowers to the hair or some other form of embellishment.
