2008 Formal Hairstyles

Natasha Bedingfield (26) with funky new hairstyle that's very short on one side and long on the other, where it's teased for texture and just longer than chin-length. It is a slightly messy and rather unique asymmetrical haircut. (September 5, 2008)

Lucy Liu (39) with high-society summer updo (June 26, 2008). Neat and elegant design that's perfect for an important occasion. Lucy has some kind of a knot at the top that's quite discrete.

Natasha Bedingfield (26) in half-up hairstyle with sharply angled chunks of loose straight hair at the front. Slight bob look but she has a sideparting (which you don't usually see with bobs).

Paris Hilton (26) in a big braided updo accented with a large shiny formal hair ornament in the middle. The new style is one of her best formal updo hairstyles. It is so sharp it looks good enough for a wedding. The wrapped up chignon has got high volume, is pretty tight, and has a beautiful shape. Spring 2008 at a movie premiere in Los Angeles. According to some reports, the hairdo was hotter than the movie.

[+] [Back cover] Here's a great formal hair gallery full of ideas for prom and other special occasions on holidays or at any other time. Over 1,200 hair styles, including the hottest new formal styles for 2008. Inside you will also find a step-by-step guide to create some of the sexiest formal hair looks.

These types of elegant hair magazines are rare, so you will want to pick one up as soon as they come out, even if you aren't going to need one immediately. The formal focus is about only twice a year if that. It costs about twice the price of a regular monthly hair mag, but it also has more designs than they do. Also, some of the photos in this one are full-page instead of just half-page or smaller.

Fancy Hairdos Before 2008

Partial bob hairstyle that is mostly an updo. This style is sometimes called the faux bob, because it looks like a bob from the front but most of it is up. This pretty brunette has a few strong blonde streaks on either side of her center parting. A large synthetic rose is positioned on one side to enhance her formal look.

Very messy updo with lots of loose thin strands
