We love the look of a chic updo for a night out, whether you're going to the opera or the theater. Try the standard "half-up, half-down" hairstyle, which can be held in place with a clip or twisted on the sides for a casual look.
1. Updo
This tight and controlled 1980s haircut is back. This style can be heavy on volume in front of your face, so soften it and make it more romantic by delicately allowing some wisps out to frame your features.
2. Halo Braid
Try a hairstyle that gives you two looks in one by braiding your hair around the top of your head. Twist the other side of your hair until it meets the braided end.
3. Braided Twist
Another simple way to look better is to make a bun with a modern twist. Go low inside the usual high ballerina bun and let it rest on your neck. Add three low turns for a look that will get people's attention.
4. Low Twisted Bun
Make a mini-bouffant for your night out and hold it together with a few well-placed hair clips. Even though this look might take some time to put together, you won't have to fix it all night.
5. Bouffant
We love this look, but it takes more time in the morning than you probably have. Save this hairstyle for a night out, when you'll have more time to make a perfect bun or tight ponytail.
6. Chignon
This braided style can be on one side of your head or even in a crown that goes into a low French twist or bun. Check out our guide to learn how to make your own milkmaid braids.
