Are you not too keen on chignons or ponytails? So what? Doing your hair up for New Year’s Eve is not an essential. Here are three ways to give a party look to your locks without having to tie up your hair.

Poker-straight or wavy blow-dried locks

Simply styling your hair with a brush and hair dryer is an excellent option, as long as you choose your hairstyle wisely and dare to try out a radically different style to fully transform your look for the occasion. Do you have curly hair? Opt for sleek blow-drying which will smooth out your hair from the roots down to the tips to create a poker-straight effect. However, if you have straight locks, opt for a soft blow-dry which will adorn them with glamorous curls. This Hollywood hairstyle is a sure-fire way to transform your look!

A festive piece of hair jewellery

If you do not wish to change the nature of your locks, opt for hair jewellery instead to add a twist to your hairstyle. Use a sparkly hair clip to hold back a side-swept front section or finish off your hairstyle with a rhinestone-studded head band which, besides keeping the hair off your face, will make you shine like a star with amazing effects guaranteed!

An original mini tied-up section

Do you not want to tie up all of your hair but are you not against the idea of bringing a few locks together to add extra style to your look? In this case, the twisted half-ponytail is made for you. Its effect is achieved by simply joining together two mini twists at the back of your head to pump up your hairstyle. Another option: go for a few fine braids spread out here and there throughout your locks. One last tip? Apply glitter spray to your mini braids to complete the overall look.
