Boudoir Hair Fashion

So you want sexy bedroom hair?  Boudoir hairstyles are soft, sensual, and stylish.  They can look cool and chic on the street or suggestive in sexy photos. 

Appearing as if you rolled out of bed with hair this fantastic can be tricky - It’s all about finding balance between polished and messy.  Follow these tips for achieving fabulous boudoir hairstyles.

One great place to start is by examining beauty styles of old Hollywood starlets and pin-up girls.  Bridgette Bardot comes to mind with her full, slightly textured blonde hair.  Choose a style that will work well for your texture and personal style.  In this case, simple is best.  If you have to flat iron your curls or your desired look requires half a bottle of hairspray, you are probably headed in the wrong direction.  

Remember that imperfect can be very sexy. Boudoir styles never look too neat or overdone.  While you can go elaborate, keep it natural.  If you go an updo, keep it loose or pull out a few strands to frame the face.  Half-up can also be a sexy look when you have lots of volume on top and allow the rest of your hair to cascade around your face and over your shoulders.  Hair-colored Bobby pins and light-hold hairspray are essential tools for achieving these looks.

One hairstyle that looks good on most women and many different hair lengths is soft, loose curls.  This style evokes Hollywood glamour but still looks natural.  The best way to achieve this look is by using hot rollers or a wide-barreled curling iron.  Remember to shake or lightly brush out your curls to achieve a more natural look with a lot of body.

Finally remember that you can never have enough volume.  Historically, “big hair” has been perceived as a symbol for sex and glamour.  Just remember the look should be more natural than “Dallas”!  Follow these tips and you will be well on your way to achieving boudoir hair.  Stay tuned for more tips & ideas!
