An elegant bridal party look for medium length straight hair is to pull it back with a side part, leaving the front caressing the side of the face. The ends can then be curled and pinned. A variation on this is to part only the bangs.

Another lovely look is to secure the hair at the nape of the neck in a charming chignon. If the hair is all one length it can be pulled back, secured high, then curled and pinned. This looks great on its own or with a small headband. Layered hair looks great flipped out or under for a softer look. A nice alternative that works with many styles is to pull up the top portion of the hair and secure it near the crown of the head adding some volume in the process.

Sectioning the hair and then twisting it loosely and securing it can create a charming up-do though the look is not easy to accomplish with all hair types. If aiming for a blown out super straight look, then conditioning every day until the ceremony is a must, as it is a good way to avoid frizzing or any damage to the hair.

Curly tresses look sexy for an evening out when paired with a stylish headband. The classic example being the headband pushing back the bangs with the head band and allowing the hair to be worn down in a stylish and sexy style. Whether thick or thin, the function is no longer just holding back hair. A loose bun at the nape of the neck then adding a headband can be just the thing to complete an evening look.

Placing a headband in with messy tresses looks daring, and placing the headband in to hold a sideband in place instead of back with the rest of the hair. For hair that is all one length placing the headband in behind the front sections and allowing them to spiral next to face is a romantic look that can really play up the eyes. The most important thing that gives the headband the sexy edge in curly hair is bringing the hair forward over the shoulders to help frame the face.

A simple ponytail of curls becomes ultra sexy with the right headband, be it rhinestones, flowers or feathers. These days, retro headbands are making a reappearance and are a beautiful addition to accessory collections. The thicker the hair, the more one should rely on the shape and size of headband for the best look.

Long luxurious curls left loose for prom cascading like a waterfall can compliment any prom dress. Using mousse or pomade on wet hair then styling with a diffuser for added curl really maintains the integrity of the curls. Products chosen for prom should be for maximum hold to last the night and finishing spray is a must to avoid frizzing.

Curls can be piled up loosely and secured with bobby pins, adding flowers or gems for an elegant but still bohemian prom look. Sectioning off the top and securing it gives added volume and looks well on its own or partnered with a tiara. A curling iron can also be used to give some dimension to individual strands and pieces.

The bottom portion can be left romantically loose. For a more wavy style a relaxer can be used to create more of a wavy style that can be worn up or down. Another timeless option for curly hair for prom is styled in a loose chignon at the base of the neck. A great variation is to pull the hair back tightly eliminating the curl in the secured portion while allowing it to curl in the bottom portion of the chignon.
