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!

✨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?

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.
