View Full Version : Updo idea for banquet?

I've got a banquet tomorrow night and I'm feeling uninspired as to what to do with my hair. I want it all the way up, something without sticks. Any ideas? My current default more formal updo is a diagonal-across-my-head Dutch braid that I wind up into a bun, but I feel like having something different. My hair is 1b/1c, fairly thick, and a little past hip.

Hmmmm... how about a braided bun with a scarf/ribbon to match your outfit?

How about something like this style by Lilith Moon? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1ylR8NHde0) You could even fancy it up more by adding perimeter braids or keeping a few face framing layers out and curled.

Little buns all pinned up together?
