Upsmooth Hairstyles
An upsmooth style is achieved when long hair is pulled up at the back and sides in various ways. The effect of an upsmooth style is smooth straight lines with some curvy shapes, or a wispy look by pulling strands of hair out from top knots/buns.
Method
Hair can be teased and pinned in place (one option is a french roll), or backcombed and secured with a top knot or top bun. Straight hair needs to be set in large rollers for body and durability. The shape and style should depend on the dress/gown worn and the hair accessories (eg. tiaras) that will be used.
Benefits
This style is generally more durable because the hair is teased, pinned and fixed with hairspray. To a degree, moisture and wind will not reduce the style's durability either. Upsmooth styles are elegant and look great for weddings, proms or any other formal occasions.
Beware
Upsmooth styles can make longer face shapes appear hard and bare.
Tips
Wash your hair the night before the special occasion rather than on the day, since freshly washed hair is too soft and harder to work with. And remember: the best way to find something that suits you is to use TheHairStyler.com's virtual hairstyler.
