If you are going to a formal event, it can be difficult to decide what to do with your hair. Do you wear it up? Do you wear it down? Curly, straight... the options are endless!

Zendaya Coleman provides an excellent solution to your updo dilemma with this pretty style. Most half updos have the top of the hair pinned back and the bottom half down (think Kate Middleton’s signature style), which just doesn’t suit some people. These gorgeous dark colored locks are pinned to the head to form this fantastic updo which is great to turn heads at any occasion. The shape of this style is best suited to complement a long face and can be easily re-created on most hair types. For a more flattering and modern look, copy this hairstyle in three easy steps.

1. Add curls or waves to your hair (if they aren’t present naturally) by using hair rollers or a curling iron.

2. Part your hair on the side and pin one side of it at the nape of the neck.

3. Use hairspray all over to keep this pristine style in place.

This hairstyle will work best on hair that is medium to long in length and of course, the shinier the better! Zendaya’s curls look extra glam because her shiny espresso locks are in such good condition, so do a hair treatment before your big night out! Finish off this pretty evening look with soft, feminine makeup and some equally glam jewellery.
