frawnsay Posted June 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I did this for an evening look with drinks and a show late into the night. Looked just the same at the end of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted June 15, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Am I the only woman who doesn't do anything different to her hair on formal nights?LuLu Hi LuLu:)..nope, I never do anything different with my hair. I keep it VERY SHORT and it is called, wash, dry with a towel and comb it;) I have the same hairstyle on a cruise as I do at home. Formal nights are no different than non-formal nights.

cruisinnancy Posted June 15, 2014 #8 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Very Pretty!!! I like that a lot. How long is your hair? mine is down my back so wondering if it would be too heavy for this style.

magandab Posted June 15, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Am I the only woman who doesn't do anything different to her hair on formal nights?LuLu nope. The only thing I might do is run my mini flat iron over the top layer to keep it smooth and give it a little polish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frawnsay Posted June 15, 2014 #10 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Very Pretty!!! I like that a lot. How long is your hair? mine is down my back so wondering if it would be too heavy for this style. Thanks! I found this on Pinterest (surprise surprise), and it was actually with someone with long hair (mid back, straight hair). My hair is like the OP stated...on the shorter side, shoulder-length. I would guess it may take a few more bobby pins due to additional hair length and weight. I used four bobby pins total with one hair fastener.

cb at sea Posted June 16, 2014 #11 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I have long hair, and don't do anything different....although, while at the pool, it's in a ponytail or bun....the rest of the time, it's down and curled! Formal, or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousey Posted June 16, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I love playing with my hair. I'll change it up everyday. My hair is also down to my shoulders but over the years had gotten very thing. I have naturally curly hair but after menopause it's not as curly. Anyway, I'll brush it up and then twist it and clip it with a hair clip. When I do that, for some reason it will straighten out my hair when I take it down so I'll leave it straight and flip the ends up. After I wash my hair, I let it dry naturally and then my hair is worn down. I could go on and on and bore everyone to death (if I haven't already:eek:) but you get the picture. I just always have fun with it.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PurpleHays Posted June 16, 2014 #13 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Am I the only woman who doesn't do anything different to her hair on formal nights?LuLu Nope. I either wash and air dry or wash and blow dry. Lots of ponytails or half-ups. Don't feel like lugging a curling iron when I can get almost the same effect with a dryer.

092306 Posted June 17, 2014 #14 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I think the up-do's are pretty, but it don't do anything different except take some extra time to do a good blow out and smooth it out with the flat iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted June 17, 2014 #16 Share Posted June 17, 2014 What's a comb? I use fingers! LOL...well, even though I keep my hair quite short, it is thick...so I do comb it;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srlafleur Posted June 17, 2014 #18 Share Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) Am I the only woman who doesn't do anything different to her hair on formal nights?LuLu Nope. Not alone. But it's partially purple, so I think that's fancy enough. Edited June 17, 2014 by srlafleur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klauer Posted June 17, 2014 #19 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I have medium-length hair and used one of those hairpieces with wires and combs that you can find on carts in malls. It took maybe a minute to create an updo that looked pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto, although I do dry mine with a hair dryer. It seems to lie better after being blown dry. If I leave it to dry naturally it either sticks up in odd places or looks very flat. I don't try to style it with the dryer, I just blow it over my hair until it's mostly dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4myguys Posted June 18, 2014 #21 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I have medium length hair and normally look for the quickest/easiest way to style it. But on formal nights, I always treat myself to an updo at the salon. Have never been disappointed and always get compliments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
