On the night of December 31st, hair comes loose and is dressed up with volume, glitter, and accessories. Three routes to a successful party hairstyle: the glamorous Audrey Hepburn-style bun for a classic with a twist, the ponytail or braid for a more relaxed effect, and beachy waves for star power à la Beyoncé. The choice is yours, depending on your personality and the theme of the evening.
Glamorous updo, retro crimps, and wavy mane
For New Year's, we return to the classics, given a fresh twist for the occasion. Invited to a chic party? Go for the sweep of an Audrey Hepburn-style updo: chic and glamorous at once, it lends itself to different styles depending on your personality and the theme of the evening. Try Audrey Hepburn's elegant chignon, or opt for a more modern take, the bun.
For a romantic touch, a loosely waved updo with a few loose strands escaping, à la Emma Watson, does the trick perfectly. You could also try crimped hair for a retro look. The updo remains a great classic that flatters the face and adds a touch of chic to your evening beauty look.
Braids and ponytails
Another party hairstyle trend: the ponytail. Everywhere on the runways, it can be worn over one shoulder, playing up volume for a retro effect. If you're more of a braid person, you can choose between a sleek, straight version or a loose, bohemian braid for a touch of romance.
Beachy waves, the star of the party season
For a flawless hair moment, go for beachy waves. Quick to achieve with a curling blow-dry, they create polished waves for star-worthy allure — a seduction weapon favoured by the likes of Beyoncé and Camilla Belle. To get it right, choose your party hairstyle according to your face shape and current trends. To shine on New Year's Eve, beachy waves remain the unbeatable party hairstyle.
Accessories for an original hairstyle
To add a touch of whimsy and originality to your New Year's Eve hairstyle, play with accessories. Like Ashley Olsen, dare to try a printed headscarf, or go for Dita Von Teese's oversized accessory. On the night of the 31st, anything goes, as long as it's fashionable and pretty — so bring on the headbands and rhinestone clips!
