Hairstyle Idea

     Hairstyles are important for a photo shoot. Usually, your subject will already know what hairstyles look good on them, and will come with their hair fixed accordingly. But if they leave the style up to you (which hasn't happened to me yet for an important photo shoot, thank goodness), then you're going to need to know what would look nice. For a tomboy look, typically a pony tail will work, or a simple braid, or even just leaving it down. But for a more elegant photo shoot, braided up-do's are lovely. Here's a hairstyle I did on my friend for an impromptu photo shoot we decided to do.

I started the braid on the other side of her head, close to her left ear. I thought it looked very nice with her face shape. Don't be afraid to mix up different hairstyles. Above all, act like you know what you're doing (this actually applies to just about everything when it comes to photography) when fixing someone's hair, even if you're feeling completely lost. =)
