These blonde locks are smoothed to the back, twisted and pinned to the nape to create this sexy updo best suited for any occasion. The bangs are swept across the forehead to soften the face and completes the over-all hairstyle brilliantly. Strong hold product is needed to keep this look in place.

Taylor Swift goes for a striking, sleek look here with this chic hairstyle. This 'do is perfect for creating a head turning, fashion forward look like the one Taylor is sporting here. Taylor has an oval face shape and large expressive features, so she can pull off pretty much any hairstyle. This one is particularly good for showing off her dramatic eye makeup. Taylor has a low forehead so the side parted, side swept fringe is ideal for her. This hairstyle is a creative way to tie short hair back without having to resort to a bun or ponytail.

As for her color, Taylor has maintained a similar shade of blonde for a while now. This medium ash blonde tone is close to her natural color so it suits her warm complexion and grey-blue eyes nicely. Instead of going for a highlighted look, Taylor has chosen to stay with a monochromatic color instead.
