• Hair Stylist: John Valle (IG: @johnvalle20 )

Considered as one of the best-dressed female celebrities in the ABS-CBN Ball 2023, Kathryn Bernardo effortlessly pulled off a chic, short-haired look with subtle waves. It’s a simple yet striking hairstyle that highlights one of the beauty of short locks —especially if your hair is long enough to be worn down but still too short to be tied back.

Floral Bun

• Hair Stylist: Daniel Forro (IG: @forro_hairstyling)

If you’re in the mood for an updo, you can take inspiration from Daniel Forro’s intricate hairstyle on Sofia Andres, where her vintage look was accompanied by a bun with stylish tendrils cascading down. This face-framing classic look is one that will never go out of style.

Voluminous Ponytail

Alternatively, a fancy and twisted up-do works just as well if you’d rather have your hair in a ponytail instead! This is seen with how Jona Quinn styled Marina Summers’ hair, adding loose twists and extra volume to her ponytail to enhance the volume and flair of her look.

Updo With Microbangs

• MUA: Owen Sarmiento (@owensarmiento )
• Hair Stylist: Angel Jamelarin (@angeljamelarin_hair)

We know that bangs in general can be tricky to style, but it’s not impossible to make those short bits of hair look glamorous. Just like how Angel Jamelarin styled Maymay Entrata’s hair in the ball, she rocked a textured bun up-do with microbangs that added an edgy feel to her look. With this simple yet sophisticated-looking hairstyle, you can also add this look to your collection of hairstyles that are best paired with microbangs.

Slicked-Back Pixie

• MUA: Botswayna Artistry (IG: @botswayna_artistry )
• Hair Stylist: Apple Tagudin (IG: @appletagudin )

The power of slicked-back hair is still present in the ABS-CBN Ball, and Apple Tagudin proved that even pixie-length cuts can still look sleek! As seen with how Dolly de Leon’s hair was neatly pulled back throughout the night, this hairstyle serves as another inspiration on how shorter strands can be conveniently and beautifully styled for grand festivities.

Simple & Sleek Bobs

Taking inspiration from the looks of the Agoncillo couple, their simple yet sleek hairstyles show how less can be more when it comes to styling your hair for grand events. While it can take some effort to tame those strands into a simple and frizz-free hair-do depending on your hair type, the end results are still worthwhile as they show the unique beauty of minimalist styling.
