Focus on hair: Plan your outfit around your hair and shoes as these are the two main focal point on the female dressed body. Your dress, suit, handbag or other accessories will just flow naturally from here. It is just a fact that your hairstyle is your pride and joy. The past couple of years the semi formal hairstyle has grown in popularity and it seems like there is no stopping it anytime soon. It is of utmost importance for you not to cross the lines to either slop or overdone. The uber sexiest celebs opt for semi formal hairstyles-why shouldn't't you?
Event will decide: The occasion or event you are attending will determine whether you will do a casual, semi formal or formal style. Give yourself enough time to find out what the dress code is so that you don't have a last minute panic or rush with a flop being the result. Steer clear from casual or semi formal hairstyle at formal events such as dinners. This style is very popular at weddings, proms and business parties as it gives a little bit of whimsicality to a often stuck-up and boring event.
Both world: You should have the best of both world with a balance of simplicity and sophistication when you create or decide on a semi formal hairstyle.
Little or no product: The appearance of your style should be soft, shiny and flowing. This will not be achieved if to much product in the form of gel or hairspray even conditioner is used. It will just weigh the hair down and give a greasy and dirty look. No matter how much the effort or beautiful the style, that extra spray of hairspray can totally destroy it.
Little bit sparkle: Adding that bit of sparkle or jewel may just be enough to make the most boring or undone style into a perfect creation. Don't be afraid to accessorize. However do it in moderation. Extension or hair pieces from human, horse or synthetic hair can be added for that something extra that may be lacking in terms of volume or colour.
Up or down tips: Your style either up or down will determine if you will wear strapless or strappy. If you go updo opt for a strapless dress or top. This is also the best choice if you are not sure exactly what the dress code is. If you decide on straight hair, achieved either by ceramic iron or naturally, wear a strap top or dress.
