New Years Eve Hairstyles

How to wear your hair this New Year's Eve

It’s New Year’s Eve and your updo will probably fall out long before the ball drops (not to mention the lipstick that's no longer on your pout and all over your champagne flute). Sigh. This is no way to ring in the new year. Try one of many low maintenance New Year’s Eve hairstyles this year: you can actually try them on right now in our virtual makeover studio.

Wear your hair down for New Year’s Eve with a dramatically different part, especially if you have a heavily angled (layered) hairstyle and plan to rock kohl-rimmed eyes. This simple style with flaunt shiny highlights. If you’re used to wearing your hair parted deep on one side, style it super-smooth from a center part. Roll your ends under with a large round brush and tuck one side behind the ear to create asymmetrical flair and show off shoulder-duster earrings. You can add vintage flair with a feathered clip or a sparkly barette if earrings aren't your thing.

Score sexy, just-got-out-bed texture with a wide barrel curling iron. Curl sections of hair that are different sizes for undone effect. Or simply try a half updo with an edgy vibe. Corwn volume can be easily achieved using your hair’s own volume (blow dry your hair upside down and back comb it at the roots). Flat iron your bangs so that they fall over one eye and get a piecey, pointy look with pomade. The alternative? Push back your mane with a bead- or pearl- encrusted headband. --Stephanie Simons
