Updo for prom

Okay, I am indeed having an updo done. However, it is only because my dress is backless (somewhat) and there is so much detail on the straps I don't want that to be covered by my hair. But also, my dress is long and black and gorgeous, but very, very formal, so I was wanting something kind of messy to contrast with it. Help! my hair is medium length, red, and naturally wavy.








^you can't really tell what is going on in the back but who cares the front is gorgeous!

pretty much I want something a little bit messy to offset how formal I am going to be dressed. I would look like a stuffy old woman with a french twist lol. Anybody else have any pictures they would like to share? Input, please? I really want everything to look perfect.

I like Rachel McAdams' hair in #1!

Or here:



Jessica Alba hair (she always looks glamourous!)

But for a different look, what about a teased + curled ponytail, or a sleek bun:


Are you suuuure you don't like "prom hair"??


Or here for some pretty fancy styles! (just kidding!)

that hair makes me want to puke out my insides. I'm sorry, it just does.

and I really don't want anything sleek because my dress is so formal and long and black...I want something kind of messy to offset all the neatness, ya know?

WAIT: I think I found a winner. Thank you, ShanaG, my hair will now look like this for prom:



next question: do you think people will make me fun of me? cause with such a 'high-fashion haute couture' hairstyle I am worried that the other girls will get jealous and make fun of me to hide their obvious jealously over my gorgeous braids.

I do a messy updo often for everyday, and they're quite easy, esp. if you have wavy hair like me... it'll stay put much better. I roll my hair into a messy bun and stick bobby pins around it to hold it up. Looks a lot of #2. Experiment!!

I like 1 & 2.

I've tried messy buns but can't quite master it. What's the secret?

I think that I am just going to print off all of these pictures and tell him to do something like that, lol.

I'll take pictures.

Another vote for the Eva. It's natural and feminine, but not "I spent all my money on my dress and just threw my hair together myself" messy.
