So what's in for the 2010 Holiday season? Half updos or messy updos will likely be the most popular styles for this year's parties. Depending on the formality of the event, some retro glam looks or formal updos may be present as well. The most important aspect of choosing a holiday party updo that is perfect for you, is to make sure that it suits you. If you are attending an office Christmas party then this is especially important. Christmas parties are often the first instance of co-workers seeing each other in a non-office, social setting. While you want to impress, you need to make sure you're not going over the top. For example, if you are the fun-loving, easy going personality in the office that keeps everyone grounded, don't show up with a formal updo. Instead go for a classic or fun messy hairstyle that will speak to your personality as well as help you look fabulous. Perhaps this is an opportunity to show your co-workers you are not the uptight rigid boss you are thought of in the office. Put that hair up in a bun with some fun braids and show them a bit more of your personality! If you have your dress already picked out, which I'm hoping you do, give a few updo hairstyles a try to see how it looks with the dress. This of course can only be done if you're doing your hair yourself. There are plenty of easy-to-do updos which can be done in less than an hour’s time at home. Be sure to check out our updo video gallery for inspiration. If you are attending a more formal event, then you'll likely need to step it up a notch. That's not to say a messy look cannot look fabulous and formal, but if you are looking for something more elegant then a formal or retro updo might be a suitable option for you. Kim Kardashian, this year's top reality star, has fashioned a number of retro looks which if styled correctly, will turn heads all night. When looking for other inspiration, look no further than Natalie Portman. Natalie might be the fastest rising star in Hollywood at the moment and quite possibly the most elegant as well. In her recent red carpet appearance, she dazzled with a spectacular look that is well worth imitating. If you are a frequent visitor of Updo Guru then you know about our preference for the braided updo. This could be a style by itself or an elegant touch to an existing updo. We're also enthusiasts of accessories and the Christmas holiday is the best time of the year to take advantage of seasonal items. Add a small bow, piece of holiday jewelry or even a piece of mistletoe if you’re feeling a bit flirty.
In choosing the perfect holiday party updo, just be yourself, be open to creativity and most importantly do not be afraid to try something new.
