The first tips to choosing a formal hairstyles will be not to give up your personality first of all and secondly what ever the formal hairstyle you choose may be, make sure it is something that you like and not something you do on your head because someone told you it would look good. However, it is good to get some advice and contemplate on it, but choosing a formal hairstyle is like choosing the dress you will wear. It is a personal choice with which you need to be comfortable with.
The third thing to keep in mind will be the type of dress and more particularly the neckline of the dress. Formal gowns with high necklines are perfect for up-do hairstyles. Dresses with a low neckline or bare shoulders are presented well with long hair tumbling down over the shoulders. It is not important as to whether you have long or short hair. What is important is that your formal hairstyle will complement the complete picture.
In the forth place, look at the shape of your face and remember that long faces look better with a type of style that breaks the vertical lines in order to shorten the look of the face. Ladies with round shaped faces would rather go for a style that gives some height on top of the head in order to create the impression of a more lengthy face.
Number 5 but not the least, don't start thinking about your formal hairstyle 48 hours before the formal event. Plan ahead and collect as much pictures that you can find of the types of formal hairstyles you would like to wear.
Discussing it beforehand with your hairstylist will give you time to think about suggestions he or she makes which will prevent you from making impulsive decisions. In this regard, you will be able to wear your chosen formal hairstyle with sheer confidence.
