Overall appearance: Your hairstyle is the most important facet of you overall appearance. If you hair and shoes are perfect the rest of the outfit will follow. The age-old belief that a woman's' hair is her crown and glory is even more applicable today. Semi formal hairstyles are the in-thing these days. Not to casual to look like you just got out of bed and not to formal looking as though you just stepped out of a White House Meeting. Think of the most sexy celebrities and what style comes to mind? Semi formal of course.
Styles to meet occasion: When deciding on you hairstyle, make sure what the event or occasion is and then do the style accordingly. Some hairstyles especially formal are totally inadequate for certain occasions. Events such as weddings, proms and as well as business parties call for that hint of informality.
Combining is key: The key to semi formal style success is lies in a combination of simplicity and sophistication.
Less is more: Use styling product sparingly. Your style can easily be turned into a formal style if you use to much products such as hairspray or gels. Too much product can also cause the hair to look greasy and dirty. These styles are characterised by shine, softness and ease of design and creation.
Accessorizing: Make use of jewels and sparkling pins to add that touch of class and elegance to a style that is minimal is effort. Hair pieces and extensions are wonderful accessories to add that extra bit of here and there you don't have naturally.
Some ideals: Go for an updo if you are not sure about how formal the event is and if you are wearing a strapless dress or top. You just cannot go wrong with updos hairstyles a good example is the French twist. If you have straight hair you are on the dot for any semi-style event. Let you hang loose and soft. If you don't have natural straight hair just do a bit of ceramic ironing and bingo-you are ready to go. Wear something with straps to show of your mane.
