11. French Twist Updo

Classic, timeless, and oh-so-glam. The French twist updo was an ’80s red-carpet favorite, and it still works for elegant events today. Use a strong-hold hairspray and plenty of pins to keep it polished, or leave a few strands out for a softer, modern feel.

12. Wavy Ponytail

An 80s ponytail is never boring, especially when waves come into play. Wrap a strand of hair around the elastic to cover it and instantly make it look chic. It’s the perfect day-to-night style.

15. Side-Parted Short Hair

Short hair with a deep side part screams confidence. It’s minimal effort but maximum impact. Add a bit of styling mousse and blow-dry in the direction of the part for extra volume.

16. Voluminous Curly Hair 

This hairstyle is all about embracing your natural curls and letting them shine. The more volume, the better. Use a wide-tooth comb and a volumizing mousse to keep your curls bouncy without weighing them down.

17. Updo with See-Through Bangs 

This style mixes softness with structure. The updo keeps things elegant, while the wispy bangs add a touch of playfulness. Keep the bangs feather-light with a blow dryer and round brush to avoid a heavy look against the updo.
