Gorgeous Graduation Hairstyles

Graduation or commencement is another occasion when you're going to be photographed and will want to look your best.

For other formal events, it's popular to wear updos, but for celebrating your graduation - you'll be wearing a cap and gown, so will want to make the most of your existing hair style with this.

Give Yourself A Confidence Boost

There's nothing like a good haircut to give your confidence a boost and help you to feel good when you look in the mirror.  Why not grab one of your friends a couple of weeks before the graduation ceremony and treat yourselves to new hairdos? 

Another booster is to give yourself a simple manicure - trim and buff your fingernails, and add polish if you like to compliment your dress. 

If it's a summer ceremony, treat your feet to a pedicure too - a little polish can go a long way to giving a girl a boost.  

Add A Little Curl

For long or medium length straight hair that you'd like to curl, as shown in this photo, find out how to curl your hair with straighteners.

If you don't normally use them, buying some hair products to boost hold and control can really help - they'll help hold your graduation hair style in place during the day, so that those curls don't disappear by lunchtime. 

They'll also help to hold the shape, so that when you take your cap and gown off, you don't find your hair all squashed flat and shapeless.

Short Graduation Hairstyles

Using hair straighteners to curl or add twist to the ends of your hair - or, use them to straighten it to perfection so all that you can see is sleek, shiny hair.

For trendy short styles make sure your salon stylist knows you're going to be donning a cap and gown to cut the shape and body accordingly for your graduation.

After Graduation Party

When it's time to let your graduation hair styles down, you'll want an easy to create party hair style - something that will look great when you're dancing or just enjoying time with friends.
