Some tips for damas hair-styles:

Accessory Mania
Hair accessories have hit the red carpet with a vengeance this year and they are sure to add some extra pizzazz to your quince hair. Try adding a tiara, fancy clips, rhinestone combs, a flower, or a ribbon headband to instantly move your style from boring to beautiful.

Halfway Flare
If you just can’t decide whether to wear your hair down or up this year, take a cue from the celebrities and do both. A halfway up hairstyle is a great way to show off your beautiful face and clear your hair away for when you want to get crazy on the dance floor. To create the look, simply brush the top of your hair back and secure it with braids, clips, combs or a small French twist.

Beautiful Waves
Whether you have naturally curly hair or not, waves are hot in Hollywood and on the quince floor. To create waves, either set your hair in hot rollers or have a friend gently curl it with a curling iron. When styling your waves, run your fingers through them instead of brushing to keep some definition. You can keep your hair flat on top or let it wave all the way to the crown of your head.

Quinceanera Updo Hairstyle

QUINCEANERA UPDO HAIRSTYLE: This hairstyle works well on longer hair that is about shoulder blade length that has long layers and of course bangs.

Suitable for:

Face shape: oval, square, diamond, round

Hair texture: fine, medium, course

Hair density: average to thick

Styling:

Time: 15-20 minutes

Techniques: flat iron (smoothing iron), bobby pins, covered ponytail band

Quinceanera Updo Hairstyle  Steps:

1. Start with dry hair that has been prepped with a firm hold styling gel. (Gel applied when hair was damp.)

2. Back comb at the crown to add height to style.

3. Separate the hair at the sides leaving out the hair from the top of the ear forward. Clip out of the way.

4. Smooth the rest of the hair at the back and create a ponytail in the upper middle of the head.

5. Use a covered ponytail band to make the ponytail.

6. Use the tail of a rat tail comb slide into the slicked hair to pull up on the crown a bit to ensure that there is a bit of height at the crown with the hair that is in the ponytail.

7. Use a small centimeter size section of hair at the bottom of the ponytail to wrap the hair around the ponytail holder. Don’t wrap using all the hair. Leave out a tail that is a couple inches long. Pin into the base of the ponytail to hold.

8. Take hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the base of the ponytail, leaving out tails of hair and pin into the base of the pony tail. Let the tails make a pleasing arrangement in the back of the head.

9. Take a side section of hair and smooth it back towards the ponytail. Wrap the hair around the ponytail just once and use a bobby pin to secure the hair. Let the ends fall from the top of the ponytail spilling over onto the side back of the head.

10. Repeat on the other side. When wrapping the sides, try to go underneath the tails that have already been done in the back of the hair.

11. Finish with a finishing hairspray to help hold everything in place.

Here are my tips for creating that straight, silky hair look at home for damas or quinceaneras.

First, go get yourself a high-quality flat iron. Even if your hairdresser only used a blow-drier, it’s pretty much impossible for a regular person to get that perfectly-straight look without a flat iron. Since you’re going to be using it frequently, it’s worth investing in a good brand that has ceramic plates - you can purchase these at some hair salons, or at a beauty supply shop. Yes, this kind of flat iron is more expensive, but it won’t fry your hair as much as non-ceramic kinds and it creates a better effect.

Make sure your hair is completely dry before using the flat iron. This is extremely important to avoid damaging your hair. The high heat of a flat iron can cause damage to hair strands and applying the heat to damp hair worsens the potential for damage.

Before using your flat iron, after you’ve blow-dried your hair, apply a heat-protective spray (also called “thermal protector”) to your hair in order to create a shield between the fragile hair cuticles and the heat from the appliance. This can prevent a lot of damage, and only takes a second.

You’re going to be working with small sections of hair - half the width of the flat iron’s plate at maximum - so know that it’s going to take a long time, and be patient. Pin up the top layers of your hair and begin underneath. Start at one side of your head and work your way around to the other side. Work your way through the layers of your hair to the crown of your head. As you move from section to section, be sure to go back over the junctions between straightened sections. This will create a more even look.

Remember not to place the iron too close to your roots, or you risk burning your scalp. Use a steady, slow motion to draw the iron down to the tips of your hair. Consult your flat iron’s owner’s manual to determine how long to leave the iron on each hair section.

For a completely sleek and straight look, pull the iron straight down to the tips of your hair. Comb your hair smooth after you draw it through the flat iron and continue the process till all the hair is straightened.

After you’ve finished, shake out your head and allow hair to cool before using any hair accessories (or you’ll get weird bends in your hair). Comb hair when cool for a smooth finish, and set your newly-sleek style with a bit of hairspray (which is great at protecting from humidity, which can wreck all your good work) and if you like, a dose of shine serum.  That’s all girls, keep coming back to superquince for more quinceanera hair tips.

The hair color that will give you the prettiest and most natural results is one that complements your natural eye color and complexion.

With green eyes and light skin, I don’t think you want to go too dark. Black or very dark brown hair can look unnaturally harsh on girls with fair skin, so lowlights might be a better option for you, if you’re craving a richer color. If you do decide to go darker all-over, deepen your hair by only two shades maximum, and consider using a “multi-faceted” coloring kit, such as Feria, to give your newly darkened hair some contrast and keep it from looking too heavy.

If you’re a light brunette, with your fair skin you can definitely pull off one of the darker shades of blonde. However, if your hair is medium brown, you might look odd with all-over blonde hair. Try a few light caramel highlights around your face instead - DIY using a coloring kit, or via a professional at a salon.

Have you considered red tones? With fair skin and green hair, a reddish dye might look gorgeous on you. Anyone can look good in red, actually - the trick is choosing the correct shade of red for your natural coloring. If you have a warm skin tone (peachy or ruddy), go for a warm copper or ginger shade of red. If your skin is more pinkish, choose a more browny red, such as caramels or auburns.

When deciding to go for highlights, lowlights or all-over color, consider the amount of time and upkeep you are willing to put into maintaining your color. An all-over dye will require constant (every 4 to 6 week) re-dyes to combat regrowth (roots). This can be time-consuming and expensive. Highlights are more natural looking when they grow out, so you don’t have to redo them often.

Also, consider why you want to color. If you want a total change of your look and image, an all-over color job is probably what you’re looking for. But if you just want to warm or brighten your complexion and add a pretty complement to your hair, then highlights around your face would probably work quite well.

Whatever hair color you choose, always remember the golden rule of coloring: You have to match your hair’s natural undertones to the hair color shade you pick. So if you have a cool skin tone (ivory or ashy), use ash or beige tones of blonde, cool ash browns, or caramel reds. If your skin is warm (peachy or yellowish), select golden or straw hues of blonde, golden browns, and copper reds.

Coloring your hair for a quinceanera is a big step, make sure your parents are ok with this.
