Make sure you steal the spotlight at the New Year's Eve party you're attending with a fancy hairstyle. Updos are super popular hairstyles to draw inspiration from, so check out this lovely braided up style and give it a try!
With New Year's Eve just around the corner, preparations for the
look should definitely become a priority as last minute decisions
are bound to disappoint. Everyone wants to look fabulous on the day
between the years and because hair plays a very important role when
it comes to beauty and style, we've decided to feature a fabulous
braided updo created by beauty and style blogger Love
Maegan.
Updo hairstyles have proven
their versatility and beauty boosting power, so no wonder they have
become a super popular choice when it comes to formal and less
formal occasions. The updos exude elegance and class being a
perfect match for women who want to adopt an ultra seductive,
romantic style that is hard to ignore.
If you're looking for a party-perfect DIY hairdo, grab your hair
styling kit and copy this zig-zag French style braid which gives
the hair a very sophisticated allure. Blogger Love Maegan
demonstrates the effortless elegance exuded by the braided updo, so
test your skills and start experimenting.
Obviously, this is a hairstyle that requires length and a little
bit of a skill, but if you're not too great at creating a French
style braid on your own, ask for the help of a skillful friend
instead. This hairstyle works best if created on second-day hair,
but if you want to wash your hair prior to styling, make sure you
work in good texturizer to give hair more grip.
Begin by parting your hair deep on the side and separate a big
chunk of hair from the part of the head that features the heavier
parting. Use a hair clip to secure the hair or an elastic and then
proceed to French braiding in a zig-zag or “S” shape pattern to
achieve the desired result.
Start from one side and French braid the hair to the opposite side
going into a slightly downward direction. As you reach the other
side, close to the ear switch braiding the opposite side and again
in a downwards motion. Repeat until you reach again the opposite
side, now finishing up the braid at the nape of the neck, well on
the side. Secure the end of the braid using a hair elastic and coil
the remaining hair up to conceal it.
After you've secured the hair with bobby pins, take the part of the
hair that remained loose in the front and swish it to the side, way
around the back and pin the ends of the hair using bobby pins. To
finish the look and conceal the bobby pins you've already used take
a large flower hair accessory and pin it over for very romantic and
feminine look that is bound to make heads turn. Set the hair with
hairspray and enjoy your stylish updo hairstyle the entire
evening.
