We recommend: OUAI matte pomade. One may evenly apply this throughout your hair no matter the length, and target flyaways for a structured look that will last all night.

If you’re already rocking a shorter length and are partial to the vintage aesthetic, this sophisticated bob accented with a single, romantic kiss curl will surely bring out your inner classic movie star.
We recommend: The Dyson Airwrap™ Multi-styler and dryer. This versatile, cult-favourite tool is designed to be gentle on your scalp and hair and is guaranteed to result in a bouncy, flawless finish.

You can’t go wrong with this clean, taut and dainty updo that won’t fail to highlight the angles and edges of your face and show off your jewellery. Complement this timeless and versatile look with a sleeveless or off-shoulder evening gown for a sensual flair.
We recommend: Davines Shine Wax is essential for maintaining long-lasting structure and high-definition gloss without the rigidity of your typical hair gel.
Straight and long with a twist

This seemingly effortless hair look is both sultry and elegant. Who says wearing your long hair down and loose shouldn’t be allowed at a grand function? It may be a good idea to ditch your dangling earrings for a pair of studs but go for a sleeveless neckline to ensure a romantic aesthetic.
We recommend: The Davines MELU/Hair shield, which safeguards hair from stress caused by heat. Avoid dry-looking and damaged locks with only a few sprays of this product.
Bow and braid

A black satin bow is a romantic addition to a classic braid. It is the trouble-free style you need to stand out in a ballroom but still channel the poetic and the sophisticated. This seemingly effortless hair look is both sultry and elegant.
We recommend: Jennie wears a different iteration of the quintessentially classy Chanel Black Bow. This version has an elastic band suitable for casual ponytails and elegant updos.
