Prom, formals. homecoming, and of course your wedding can be some of the most expensive nights in a girls life! For prom or formal, after the dress, the shoes, the limo, boutonniere, and makeup you can be looking at hundreds of dollars, and a trip to the salon on top of all of this can easily DOUBLE that number! And for a wedding – oh my gosh! The catering, the event space, the flowers – the costs are dizzying. Now while it's tough to learn how to sew, or cobble your own shoes, or cook up your own food for a wedding of 200, one can easily create a gorgeous up to for the event all from home at little or no cost!

I find the best inspires come from celebrities on the red carpet – they have the best hairstylists that create the prettiest styles for all types, textures, and lengths of hair so when you are looking to recreate a look try and look for celebrities that have similar hair to you. Now looking at a picture is easy but recreating it is another story – that's where the power of the internet comes in!

Give yourself a couple of weeks before the big event in order to research hair upstyles that you love and will suit your face shape, make sure you get the products you will need – bobby pins, hairspray, curlers etc, clear away a good chunk of undistracted time, and now you are ready to get updoing!

Along with YouTube instructional videos, there's a website called Hair Updo Styles that has a ton of amazing celebrity inspired hair updos that will have you red carpet ready in no time! With step by step instructions, and specialized looks for curly, straight, fine, thick, long and short hair, there is an updo for everyone. You can also choose from full updos, braided styles, half updos, and more casual updos for simpler nights on the town. The site also has a great shop that recommends some of the best hair products out there at all price ranges. Everything from blow dryers, flatirons, and curling irons, to volumizing spray and bobby pins.
