As we all know, the updo is a great hairstyle for a wedding or a prom. Some of the more
elegant updos are a little more complicated and more time consuming to pull
off. Can you still wear an updo for other special events? Of course you can! With trends shifting
and the economy still on the rebound, 2010 will be full of what we call the “stay at home party”. In
years past, these parties would usually have been hosted at some type of fancy venue. To save some
money these parties seem to be shifting to people’s homes. You want to have that glamorous going out
look without spending the time and money on your hairstyle. Our answer: The easy do it yourself
updo!
You have just been invited by your boss to attend a chic exclusive dinner party at her/his private home.
You have been told that it’s not a black tie event, but you still need to dress to impress. You have a
wedding in a few weeks and can’t really afford to have another styled updo. Not to worry, just go with an
easy updo hairstyle that will still be fashionable but not break the bank. Here are
some examples of some easy to do fun party updo hairstyles that are sure to grab the attention that you
deserve!
Here are a few party styles to get the ideas flowing:
 |
This is a nice easy messy bun updo with the side bangs pulled. Great for a more casual party
look. |
 |
Here is tighter bun updo that is easy to do and looks great. This is a great hairstyle for a
formal party. |

We love the half-up half-down updo. This is a fun yet glamorous hairstyle that is sure to be the talk of
the party. The half-up half-down updo is also one of the best and easiest updo
hairstyles to customize into your own look. Who better to show off this hairstyle than notorious
Hollywood party girl Tara Reid!

These are great examples of party updos worn by some younger celebrities. Both of these “mostly up” updos
work great for any occasion, especially casual parties. Notice the playful waves that say: “I’m the life of
the party!”
Updo Guru Party Do’s and Don'ts

be the first to arrive.
The Updo Guru says: DO make a fashionably late appearance. You want enough
people to notice your fabulous updo hairstyle when you make your first appearance!

date. Be sociable!
The Updo Guru says: DO introduce yourself to as many people as possible.
You want everyone to see your stunning updo in all it’s party glory!

sparkling cider (if you are not). Your graciousness and your wonderful updo will not go unnoticed.
