New Year’s Eve is the ultimate night for a style statement! Whether you’re heading to a chic rooftop bash or a cozy house gathering, a standout hairstyle can complete your look and help you ring in the new year with confidence. Here are three dazzling, but achievable, party hairstyles that will make you feel fabulous as you countdown to midnight.
1. The Glam Waves
Perfect for a timeless, classic look with a modern twist, glam waves are all about soft, voluminous curls that scream Old Hollywood sophistication.
How to Get the Look:
- Start with clean, dry hair. Apply a heat protectant and use a curling iron to create loose waves. For a softer finish, wrap your hair around the barrel instead of clamping it down.
- Once you’ve curled all of your hair, gently brush through with a wide-toothed comb to loosen the curls into waves. For added volume, tease the roots slightly.
- Mist with a lightweight hairspray for hold, then smooth down any flyaways with a drop of hair oil.
- Accessorize with a sparkly barrette or clip for that extra NYE dazzle!
Glam Waves are perfect if you’re going for a chic, yet effortless look that’s sure to impress.
2. Sleek High Ponytail
For a bold and edgy vibe, a sleek high ponytail is the way to go. This look pairs perfectly with statement earrings or a bold lip and can elevate almost any outfit.
How to Get the Look:
- Begin by brushing your hair up toward the crown of your head. Use a fine-toothed comb to ensure a smooth, bump-free finish.
- Secure the ponytail with a strong elastic, then take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic to conceal it, securing it with a bobby pin.
- Use a straightener on the length of the ponytail for a super sleek effect.
- To keep it sleek all night, apply a bit of styling gel or pomade on the roots, especially if you’re aiming for that ultra-polished, glass-like shine.
This look is fierce and fashionable and will keep you dancing all night long without a hair out of place.
3. Braided Crown Updo
If you’re looking for something romantic and bohemian, a braided crown updo is a beautiful choice. It’s elegant, versatile, and ideal if you want to keep your hair off your neck while still showing off a bit of artistry.
How to Get the Look:
- Divide your hair into two sections from ear to ear. Create a loose braid on each side, securing each with a small elastic.
- Cross the braids over the top of your head, positioning them like a crown. Pin them in place with bobby pins, adjusting as necessary to ensure it feels secure.
- Pull a few small strands around your face to soften the look and add a little texture. Spritz with a texturizing spray for a slightly tousled, effortless feel.
- Add small, glimmering pins or mini rhinestones throughout the braids for an extra touch of sparkle.
This style pairs well with any outfit and gives off serious fairy-tale vibes – perfect for starting the new year feeling like a queen.
Final Tips for Keeping Your Party Hair Fresh All Night
- Prep Your Hair: Start with a solid base by using a volumizing mousse or texture spray on damp hair before blow-drying. This will give your style extra hold and longevity.
- Keep a Mini Hairspray Handy: Tuck a travel-size hairspray into your clutch for quick touch-ups to keep your look fresh as you dance through the night.
- Don’t Forget Accessories: New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to experiment with bold hair accessories – glittering clips, velvet bows, or even metallic headbands can all elevate your hairstyle.
This New Year’s Eve, let these hairstyles inspire a look that’s uniquely you. Whether you go for glamorous waves, a chic high ponytail, or a romantic braided crown, your style is sure to shine. So pop the champagne, grab your favorite outfit, and get ready to sparkle – you deserve it!
Cheers to a fabulous New Year’s Eve and an unforgettable night of glam!
