- If you have very short hair, you may wish to add an element of glamour by using a wet-look gel and slicking back your hair. Apply the gel all over your hair, then comb back the hair, making it close to the head. Another option is to slick back only the sides of your hair, leaving the top of your hair fuller.
- If your hair is long enough to twist or knot, you can twist the front parts of your hair framing your face into knots. Start with two-inch portions, and affix sparkly barrettes or bobby pins for an evening look. Imagine the knots as if they were a headband around your hair. Then, using a volumizing spray and hair spray, make the portion on the crown of your hair more poufy.
- Starts like Katherine Heigl, Charlize Theron and Julianne Hough have all gone for the retro look on the red carpet by wearing their hair in a finger-waved style. Using a firm hold hair gel, apply to hair when wet and comb through the hair. Once the gel has been combed all the way through, use the same comb to press the hair close to the scalp, then move the comb in a waving motion to comb the hair in a curve. Continue to follow this in inch to an inch-and-a-half motions all around the head. You can either leave the waves close to your head, or you can comb them out once your hair has dried. Finish the style with a medium-hold hairspray.
