What woman doesn’t want to be desired and radiate with perfect styling? With his new, exciting updos and warm, beautifully shiny hair colors, Marco Arena revisits glamorous red carpet looks and reinvents them.
Champagne Twirls
Elegant updo with a distinct look from each side. This style surprises with its titillating elements, making it sparkle like a fresh glass of bubbly. The hair is styled back in sleek layers, creating overlapping bands of hair with different patterns on each side.
The back features considerable inner volume and charming ringlets. Long, smooth bangs frame one side of the well-made-up face and end in a small, darling spiral.
Open Curls
If you prefer your hair down, try defined curls and lots of shine to showcase your long hair. Here, the hair is parted slightly off-center and curled in various sizes, from large barrels directed back to smaller ringlets at the ends.
The varying diameters provide a natural yet refined appearance. High shine is essential for festive occasions.
Roman Inspiration
A classic touch adds spice to this festive hairdo. Multilevel and multidimensional doesn’t mean complicated. The top hair is styled into a smooth pouf, embellished with a frame of French braided intricacy.
The bangs are swept strictly to the side and tucked behind the ear, connecting with the rest of the hair that flows playfully in delicate spirals.
Regal Spirals
This curly delight features a few twists. A braid is woven along one side of the face from the upper forehead to the ear, and the top is crowned with both a rounded "bump" and a decorative tiara.
These elements elevate the already enchanting curly look, making it a great contender for weddings.
Playful Mix
Different structures and an intricate French braid flowing diagonally across the head lend an ethereal charm to this beautiful and romantic hairstyle.
Classic Beauty
A high crown combined with a perfect chignon and a long, swirled strand of hair accentuates the lines of the face with timeless elegance and irresistible style.
This updo is classic, allowing you to be the beauty of the ball without venturing too far into extravagance. Keep it simple but precious with a couple of embellished hair accessories.
Feathery Tease
The simple chignon in the back and the smooth, refined styling of the front and mid-sections exemplify extraordinary elegance. The main feature, however, is the small feathery accent pin on the side, which teases with its subtle rebellion against the sleekness.
A refreshing contrast of textures is the result, and with a little serum and shine spray, it will outshine the rest.
Hairstyle with Renaissance Curls
Go all out with a combination of curls and sharp-edged waves. The center part adds a youthful flair to this festive look, which seems to have its stylish roots in past centuries, when women celebrated their beauty in elaborate ways.
Small ringlets commence their joyful dance high on the crown, while the long bangs are shaped into wide, soft flowing bands with a rippled surface, radiating light in delightful shades of gold.
Tale of Two Tails
Who says a ponytail has to be in the back? Try a daring double feature for your next glamorous outing. The hair is separated by a diagonal line across the head, creating a smaller front section and a larger back section.
The finely structured curls are gathered into a smaller bundle in front, above the corner of the forehead, and a larger one on the opposite side in the back. The result is a playful, romantic up-style with a rock star attitude.
Minimalist Glam
If you want to skip the thrills and frills and just shine with pure glam, then this exciting updo could be a winner. The hair is styled back in a ballerina style, known for its strictness and innate elegance.
The glam element comes from the enlarged knot of shiny transparency and perfectly balanced shape.
