What is a good easy formal hair style?

I have a winter formal tonight but I don't know what to do with my hair. It is shoulder length and brown. It is also really thick. I want a easy hair style that I can do at home by my self without using a lot of time. Please help and I really need pictures if possible to understand. ThanksWhat is a good easy formal hair style?
i have 2 questions for you:

1) do you have a straightner with flat edges

%26amp;

2) do you know how to curl ribbon



if you answered yes, here's a really simple elegant hair style for you:

taking small sections, no bigger than you straightener is wide, and using the same technique you use to curl ribbons, curl your hair. when you're done ribboning all of your hair you can either pin half or all of it up, or leave it all down.



GOOD LUCK!What is a good easy formal hair style?
Try curls like this:

A messy bun would also be cute:

If you don't want to do that you could always just go with your hair straightened or in a high ponytail.
Leave your bangs down.

Put it in a high ponytail.

Make the hair in the ponytail ringlets.

And be sure to leave a small tendril down on each side of your face (:
