“Curly Hairstyles”
Description
A formal medium curly updo can be best described as loose, soft, full, elegant, neat and structured looking. They range from tied back and pulled up twists to soft face-framing hairstyles with pieces that fall down. They can be worn to any formal function, event or special and important outing.
Method
These types of updos are best performed by a qualified stylist and are generally curled, pinned, tied, teased, gelled, waxed, brushed smooth, and lacquered into place. Styling time can vary from between 30 minutes and 1 hour 30 (when hair needs to be curled using rollers or heat appliances).
Benefit
These hairstyles can change and transform your entire look within a couple of hours. They are great for keeping hair out of your eyes and off your face- and more importantly off your shoulders too, allowing your cloths and jewellery to enjoy some attention. Curls are soft in design and have an elegant, glamorous look that suits formal occasions best.
