Sophisticated hairstyles doesn't have to be complicated.
Having sophisticated hair is about making the effort to do your hair in a way that it looks effortless, yet very chic.
How do you achieve a sophisticated hair style?
Here are things you must do:
You must go to a very good hairdresser. You must find the best hairdresser for your hair.
Good doesn't mean expensive, and expensive doesn't mean good. If you know what I mean.
To know what works for you, get your hair done regularly, or as often as you can. Take the opportunity to get your hair done when you have a special event.
Brush and blow your hair as often as you can. Practice will make perfect, as you observe how your hairstylist does it and by watching sophisticated hair style videos.
Ponytails are very versatile as well and you can adjust the type of ponytail according to what you will be wearing.
For example, if your top is quite frilly or has a bout of color, you may want to tone down the 'dressiness' of the outfit by adding a casual ponytail.
If you have dressed in a sleek cocktail dress, you may wear a low ponytail.

Sophisticated 'Black' Hair Style
Sophisticated Black Hair Style
There is something very sophisticated and chic about darker hair, or black hair.
Sophisticated hairstyles always focus on bringing out the "best face". With a clear face ... your eyes, smile, facial expressions communicate better. You will have a brighter smile, a fresher expression.

You can also create a bump at the back, with the use of Bumpits on top of your ponytail to create a bit more volume and roundness of the head.
A good backward combing of the hair can give you extra volume to give another sophisticated hairstyle. Use a Teasing comb.

I love fringes. If you can carry them off, meaning - if they suit your face and you've got a little bit of attitude, a willingness to stand out, wear them!
They look so chic.

I've always found that wrapping your head and hair keeps your hair in place against flyaway wind and always adds instant glamour.

Recently, I've been inspired by the non-designer elegant woman. Somehow I choose now to reflect who I am and my current place in society more accurately with the things I put on my back. This is just how I define my own personal brand of elegance and elegant style. Read about the inspiration behind that.
The mesage of grace: Be known as a woman of grace. Hold yourself to a standard of grace, not perfection and remember to extend that same measure of grace to others.
