Zendaya is rocking this side-parted hairstyle that is ideal for all formal events. This lively and playful hairstyle brings back a classic hairstyle with an elegant yet modern twist. Creating outward flicks is relatively easy and requires minimal styling effort, making it a convenient option for those looking to add a subtle twist to their everyday hairstyle. By flicking the ends outward, you can create the illusion of added volume, particularly at the ends of your hair, which can be beneficial for those with fine or flat hair. The side parting allows the flick to be more pronounced and softens her cheekbone area as well as her sharp jawline. This hairstyle is ideal for those with an oval, heart, or diamond face shape. If your hair has medium density, such as Zendaya, then this is the style for you. The sleek finish of this style adds to the formal feel of this hairstyle and ties the whole look together nicely. You will need to cut your hair every six weeks or so to ensure your ends stay healthy.

This hairstyle pairs well with a perfect skin application, flawless eyebrows, and a subtle wing liner, as Zendaya has applied. Finish off with a light nude or brown lipstick that is not glossy, as your hair will stick to your lips, and you are ready to show the world your new take on a classic style!

Zendaya's long, curly hairstyle is wild and free, and we love it! It is so simple to style and maintain but has a lot of movement and bounce, which is stunning! Zendaya has taken her bangs and placed them neatly behind her, which creates a gorgeous hair crown that is subtle but helps to take her hair out of her face. This is a stunning technique that adds another practical element to this style. These curls add movement but also help to create the illusion that her hair is naturally thicker than it is. Overall, this hairstyle is best suited for those with medium to thin hair densities and will suit those with a strong jawline and cheekbone area, as Zendaya has. The only downside to this style is that glasses will not work well with this look. Once you are done styling, you will need to apply hairspray to ensure these waves stay in shape but do not worry if you have a few flyaway hairs. These hairs add to the free feeling of this style, which is refreshing. You are going to need to trim your hair every so often to ensure your ends stay healthy.

Once you are done styling, focus on your makeup application. This style is full of volume, so you want to try to keep your makeup simple. A subtle wing liner is trending at the moment, and Zendaya has shown that it suits this look well. Finish off with a nude or pastel lipstick color, and you are ready to show the world your full-of-life hairstyle!

Zendaya is rocking this low bun hairstyle that is ideal for formal events. Zendaya has placed a piece of hair over her forehead, which creates the illusion of bangs. These bangs help draw attention to her eyes and soften the edges of her face. Pulling the hair away from your face and into a low bun allows your facial features to be fully exposed. This can highlight your eyes, cheekbones, and jawline, creating a clean and sophisticated look. Pulling the hair back into a low bun can slim down the face. It creates a clean line and reduces the visual volume around the face, providing a polished and streamlined appearance. Once you are done styling, you must use the product to create a sleek finish. This style will suit all hair textures and densities. This style will suit those with a rounder face shape, such as a round or oval face shape. However, it will also suit those with a strong jawline, such as a square or heart face shape. You will need to trim your hair regularly to ensure you do not have split ends and your hair stays healthy.

You want to keep your makeup application elegant and simple with a glass finish on your lips, as Zendaya has done. Do not forget to highlight and contour your neck and face area to create the illusion of the perfect oval face shape and you are ready to take on the day!

Zendaya has an astonishing butterfly bob that is full of volume and movement. The longest layers of the butterfly cut's heavily layered, feathery style fall just below the shoulder. In order to provide the appearance of having shorter strands, shorter layers are clipped around the crown of your head. About two to three inches below your chin, the shortest top layer will fall, which will allow the layers to frame your neck and chin area. Due to the layers, this butterfly haircut is ideal for those with oval and square face shapes. It will suit any hair type, but the medium thickness will work the best. Zendaya has added chocolate-colored highlights to this look to lighten her hair color a bit, but it still looks natural, which we love.

When it comes to your makeup, use a brown smoky eye with a colored lower lash line to highlight and lengthen your eyes. or maybe no shadow at all on the eye and a pink lip for a delicate glam appearance. Just keep in mind that this haircut attracts more attention to your forehead, so be sure to contour it and add a blush to the center of your cheeks to give your face lovely depth.

Zendaya looked gorgeous at the 2022 Vanity Fair Oscar party. This hairstyle is ideal for those nights when you want your hair out of your face but still want something elegant and sexy! Your strong cheekbones and bone structure look great with a side part and this hairstyle calls for a grand side parting! Putting your hair up in a ponytail can help you appear younger. When you tie your hair in a tight ponytail, your skin is pulled in a centered direction from your forehead and cheekbones. When you have sagging skin, which can show as early as your early 30s, this is the exact pull you want to generate. Just a quick tip: If you frequently put your hair in a ponytail after showering, you should strive to break the habit. Because damp hair is more brittle, it's better to wait until it's totally dry before putting it up in a pony.

Zendaya has gone all out for her makeup application and you can do the same thing! The wing linger might take a few tries before you get it right but once you get the hang of it, you will get it right every time. Finish off your makeup application with a lipstick color that suits your skin tone and you are ready to take on the night like a Disney star!

This style does not have a hair out of place and the length allows her hair to frame her neck area even though her hair has been placed in braids. You are going to need to cut your hair once every 4 weeks or so to ensure that your haircut stays in shape and that your ends stay healthy.
