Choosing the Right Party Hairstyle Is Easier Than Ever

You are probably very familiar with the situation where you just have no idea what to choose as your party hairstyle just half an hour before the big party.  Should you put your hair up or leave it down?  Will your accessories look nice on you, or will they make you look like you are going to a masked ball?  Which style will go best with your outfit?  Well, believe it or not, an answer can be found.  Give me your hand and let’s go on a ride through the world of party hairstyles.  It really isn’t that complicated.

The Process of Choosing the Right Party Hairstyle

When you are choosing a party hairstyle, there are some things you should take into consideration from the start.  First, what is the theme of the party?  If you are going to a regular party with your friends, you can experiment just as much as you want.  But, if you are attending a formal party, five braids in your hair may make you look unprofessional and not very serious. 

Second, make sure the party hairstyle will fit with your clothing and accessories.  If you are wearing a great pair of earrings, you should pull your hair up or to the back in order to show them off.  Don’t’ wear both earrings and sparkling hair accessories, choose one or the other for emphasis. 

Consider the quality of your hair as well.  If you have oily and thin hair, a ponytail may not be the best choice of party hairstyle for you.  Choose a half-up, half-down style instead.  If you are wild at heart, if doesn’t mean that your hairstyle should be wild as well!  Unbrushed hair shows that you ‘just don’t care’, but it’s not in a good way. 

It is also important that your party hairstyle suits your age.  A 50 year old woman rarely looks good with braids and a 15 year old can look silly with the perfect up-do.

For a perfect party hairstyle

Work with what you have.  If you have curly hair, try leaving it down or in a loose side ponytail without straightening it.  If you have short and curly hair, a nice ribbon or a pin on the side can do miracles.  Party hairstyles for straight hair can be fun and easy as well.  Don’t curl your hair if you’re sure already that it won’t last or if you plan on dancing a lot, because at the end of the night you could look terrible.  A ballerina bun or a high ponytail, a loose braid on the side, of half-up, half-down would be great. For shorter, straighter hair, you probably don’t need a thing if you have a smooth haircut. 

Try out the party hairstyle you have chosen a few times before the party.  This way you will see if it really suits you and make it perfect.

Last Minute Party Hairstyles are Possible As Well

If you made the same mistake as last time and left your party hairstyle as the last thing to do before you go, there is no room for panic.  Calm down and think.  You don’t have time to check out ideas online.  It could take you ages to find one and even longer before you can do it.  Remember what you have done with your hair before that was easily ‘do-able’.  Don’t experiment in these last few minutes; you could end up with an unfinished style that leaves you feeling uncomfortable.  Try something that feels natural like leaving your hair hanging loose, or making a loose ponytail or a nice bun, depending on the occasion and your outfit, of course.

Bridal Henna

Have you ever heard about henna?  Or more importantly, have you ever heard about bridal henna?  Whether you have or haven’t, we believe this article is very interesting and has information and facts to offer you.  We will explain what bridal henna is and how, why and when it is applied.

                                           

What is Bridal Henna?

Bridal henna is also called bridal mehndi, mehandi and mehendi and it is a traditional art of painting hands and feet, usually before the bride’s wedding day.  It is a wonderful body art that has existed for many centuries.  Nobody really know where is began as it is very old and many people from different cultures have practiced it.  Some say it started in India and others say that bridal henna was born in ancient Egypt. 

This amazing body art is done with a paste which is made from the powdered and dried leaves of a plant called henna.  The botanical name for the henna plant is Lawsonia Inermis.  This plant mostly grows in Sudan, Egypt, India and most of the North African countries.

Bridal henna has many shades of colour from red to brown.  Sometimes, a few other ingredients like tea, lemon and some essential oils are added to the henna paste so it smells better and the texture better to apply the paste.

How It Is Done

Bridal henna paste is usually applied on the skin with a paint brush or toothpicks or a plastic cone.  After applying the paste, the area is usually covered with tissue, or some plastic or medical tape.  This is done because there should be more body heat in that area.  More heat means more intense colour.  The wrap is removed after a few hours or overnight and the henna design is getting darker until after 72 hours.  This temporary bridal henna can last from 7 to 25 hours depending on the quality of paste used during the process. 

There are millions of beautiful bridal henna designs.  You will find great examples by searching the Internet.  Be sure to look at ours in our Bridal Henna and Mehndi photo gallery.
