1. Half Up Half Down Party Hairstyle with a Bow

Frankly, the bow detail will elevate any hairstyle, and if you haven’t got yourself one yet, there’s still time to pop to the shops before the big night.

Certainly, a ponytail is one of those hairstyles that is sophisticated enough for a special night yet doesn’t look too done. As if you made an effort but didn’t try too hard.

5. Braided Chignon Bun with Face Framing

Are slicked back looks making you feel too bare? Opt for a soft bun and leave a few loose strands to give your face some framing. If all of your hair is the same length, perhaps you might consider getting long bangs or face-framing layers.

6. Low Bun with Feather Accessory

If you had enough of the bows, let’s try something different to step up your low bun. There are not many occasions to wear feathers, and New Year’s Eve is luckily one of those nights.

7. High Bun with a Middle Part

Are you looking for a hairstyle that will feel secure? A high bun will stay put and survive a whole night of dancing. It’s also easy to create: curl your hair, put it up in a ponytail, then twist and use a few bobby pins to secure it in the shape of a bun. A few tendrils around your face will look soft and flattering.

8. Silk Press Hollywood Waves

If you are looking for something snazzy, those Hollywood waves will fit the bill. There’s one simple secret we need to share – most of the time, those luscious locks you can see on Pinterest are styles using hair extensions. Clip-in hair sets are great for this purpose and will not only make your mane look thicker but also ensure the longevity of the curls.
