The Best Hairstyles for New Year's Eve

Hello ladies! It’s Christmas time and you can feel it in the air. The days are full of family dinners, long gatherings, reunions with people you haven’t seen in ages, and tons of events… you can feel the Christmas magic. And I know you, you’re like me, and Christmas for you means events and fabulous looks. That’s why today, I bring you a very special blog post, made with love: The Best Hairstyles for New Year's Eve, so you shine and are the most beautiful at the party. ✨ If we always want to look perfect, this time is no exception, right? So, do you want to know the seven best hairstyles I’ve selected for you and learn how to do them so the last night of the year is magical? Let’s get started… But first, I think it’s important to know which hairstyle suits your face shape. Is that possible? Of course! You just need to consider the following:

• LONG FACE: Avoid hairstyles with volume on top, as they will elongate your face even more.
• SQUARE FACE: Loose strands around the sides of your face, side hairstyles, or wearing your hair down are ideal.
• ROUND FACE: Updos with loose strands on the sides will balance your face perfectly. Which one is yours?

Now that you know which hairstyle suits you best, let’s start with the seven best New Year's Eve hairstyles. Choose yours!

1. CASUAL HALF FISHTAIL BRAID

No matter your hair length. Got long hair? Perfect, easier to style. Short hair? No problem, get our natural hair extensions and rock a top-notch mane❤

Simple but very chic look. ✨You’ll need: Comb, hair ties, and skillful hands. ✨First, thoroughly detangle your hair. Got it? Great! Let’s start step by step. ✨Make a line to divide your hair into three sections. ✨Take a small piece from the right side and cross it over to the left, as shown in the picture.

✨Do the same with the rest of your hair, but remember, for a TOP hairstyle, use only half of your hair. For a casual fishtail braid, don’t braid too tight to achieve the perfect effect. ✨Finish with soft waves at the ends and style them to get one of the best New Year's Eve hairstyles. Promise?

2. SOFT WAVES

Waves are always a great option: easy, quick, long-lasting, and super elegant. Follow these steps for a flawless New Year's Eve hairstyle.

Styling your hair for New Year's Eve has never been easier. You’ll need: Heat protectant and hair straightener. Separate your hair into sections and curl vertically with the straightener. The more hair per section, the softer the wave. ✨Do this for all sections. Shiny Tip: To make the waves last longer, roll the hair with your fingers until it cools before letting it go. Complete the look with a red bow (perfect for New Year's Eve) or pearl accessories for extra elegance.

3. ROMANTIC HALF UPDO

This hairstyle is a guaranteed hit. Trust me and shine with Shiny. A half updo with waves, romantic style, never fails. Follow these steps.

Looking for a sweet look? This is it. You’ll need: Heat protectant, blow dryer, curling iron. ✨Wash your hair, spray protectant, blow dry while twisting to shape, curl sections, secure at the back with a stylish accessory. Complete with floral or jewel accessories for extra sparkle.✨

4. BRAIDED MOHAWK

Want to be the queen of the night? Go bold. A braided mohawk finishing in a sleek ponytail or soft waves is perfect. ✨You’ll need: fine comb, hair ties, and confidence. Start by brushing thoroughly, comb back, divide hair into three sections, braid under the center instead of over, and seal with hairspray. Pull out a few strands at the front for a softer look.

5. HALF UPDO WITH SOFT WAVES

Perfect with a stunning dress. You’ll need: Hair ties, heat protectant, blow dryer, curling iron. Wash, protect, blow-dry while shaping, separate two front sections, join ends at the back with a hair tie. Simple, stylish, and elegant.

6. CLASSIC BRAID WITH SCARF

I love this look! Versatile for any occasion. A braid with scarf is a classic must-have for New Year's Eve. You’ll need: A scarf and desire to shine. Make a low ponytail, wrap scarf around, braid incorporating the scarf, finish and secure.

7. PONYTAIL UPDO

Sometimes simplicity is style. A basic ponytail updo works with any outfit and looks complex without being so. ✨You’ll need: Hair ties, heat protectant. Start with a braid from the top, loosely interweave, secure mid-hair with a tie, finish with another tie at the ends. Done!
