To updo or down do? That is the question!

If you can’t decide whether you want to wear your in hair up in an elegant chignon, or let it flow with some romantic tumbling curls, then take five minutes and read these top tips to help you choose!

For a round face…

If you have a round face, then an updo is the best option, as it will help to lengthen your features, and give your overall look better proportion and balance. If you’d rather go down, then go for a chic, sleek and straight style to give the same effect!

For a long face…

If you have a long face then go for a curly down do that is big on width and volume and will help to complement your gorgeous cheekbones. Go for a small tiara or some little sparkling hair pins so you don’t add too much height to your look.

The overall look

Don’t forget to think about your dress when picking a hairstyle — you may feel a bit too exposed with an updo if you have a strapless dress. Or with a higher necline the detail of your dress might get lost under if you opt for a down do!

Feel like ‘you’

If you don’t usually wear your hair pulled back from your face, then you have to ask if you will be comfortable wearing it that way on your big day? And equally if you often put your hair up, will you find that your hair will get in the way if you go for a down do? — Don’t let your hairstyle stop you feeling like you!

Romantic appeal

You can soften a striking updo by adding some loose tendrils around the face — or if you are really undecided why not choose a half-up half-down do? That way you get the best of both worlds!
