Don't Be Afraid To Make A Mess
Just because your look is super-polished doesn't mean your hair has to be. A slightly messy, undone 'do keeps your look from being too fussy or uptight, and instead adds a bit of edge. Try pairing your gown with a loosely pinned updo and a few wispy flyaways, or some textured waves to modernize your look. Just don't go too crazy with it: You don't want to look like you got caught in a wind tunnel on the way to the party, or resemble a walk of shame before the night has even begun.
