To fit with her big blue Cinderella like dress, she sported an elegant French roll hairstyle, which was dyed blonde to fit with her character and finished with a blue silk headband to complete the look.

Darren Criss

He wore his hair short at the sides and embraced his curls, wearing them over his forehead. Natural hairstyles and embracing your curls and waves in 2019 is super on trend and I love enhancing these looks by adding more texture to the hair using texturising sprays and salt sprays."
