If you don't like the idea of having all of your hair pulled up in a formal updo hair style, you always have the option to do a partial updo hair style.
Various options are available for the half up /half down hair style look. Addition of clip in hair extension pieces will add a little more flare to your hair style look as well. Some of the partial updos on this page have a little back-combing in the crown area to give the appearance of height.
