Again, depends how long it is, but Claire's accessories do hair donuts that look lovely when quite high up on the head. Thread your ponytail through and then sweep round and pin in as you go. Looks nice with a bit of fringe tucked behind your ear, like the blonde girl in the peroni beer adverts!

How can I create my own sexy hair up do for a posh xmas ball?

I don't know how long your hair is, but something I always do if I have a 'do' to go to is get small sections of hair, twist them and then pin them to the back of my head with those plain brown hair-grips that you can buy in any chemists. I don't worry too much about doing it carefully - it looks better when it's sort of messy and deconstructed. If you want to do it carefully you could pin the twists of hair in a pattern; that would look cool, too. It works better if your hair is sort of mid-length or shorter - if you've got long hair you can do a similar style but you might have to make your twisty bits bigger, or not put all your hair up. Have a nice time at your party.. hope your hair looks cool, whatever you do with it.

pull it all back into a bobble at the crown of your head and then tak about a third of it and twist it around, then take half of whats left and twist it then hold it next to the other, do the same with the last of your hair, then use another bobble and tie it all together. this creates a messy bun, if you have shorter bits at the front or a fringe wear them loose and messy for a sexy look. dont worry too much if a few pieces slip out of the bun as this makes a sexy dishevelled look.

go for as side fringe, if you dont have one then cut one(if ur mum nd dad will let you)if not then just partin it but let 2 sections from each side of the front of the head fall down. make sure you straighten it so that it is dead straight and try and get hold of a heated hair curler (like a staightner but does curls) curl the whole head and then get a section from both sides of the head and tie them together as if you were doing a ponytail and the rest long but instead tie it in a bun so that you have a fancy curly bun and the restlong then try and get hold of some glitter hair spray and spray it all over your head (not too close or your hair will uncurl and go back to its origional state) and voila! you will look like a princess.

I love synthetic hair pieces and there are some really cool up-do ones. They might cost about as much as going to a hairdresser, but you can use them again and again. You can search the hair sites for the one(s) you want and then look for them on Ebay, a lot of times I find them cheaper there.

Matching your own hair can be tricky though, be careful.
