New Year’s Eve Beauty: Best Hairstyles for a Night Out

New Year’s Eve is almost here and who has time to worry about an elaborate style with simple and chic will get you through the evening like some of our favorite red carpet beauties.

Here are some quick and easy tricks from Kattia Salano, owner of Butterfly Studio Salon, to freshen up your hairstyle with minimal product, prep or time.

1.       Upgrade a worn ponytail from day to night by taking out that pony and shaking it as hard as you can just to create some body.

2.       Grab your purse-size dry texturizing spray (key for reworking fullness into limp hair) and apply through entire head, roots to tips.

3.       Shake hair out, using your hands as well to break up, lift, and activate your spray.

4.       Pull hair back, taking one section at a time to create a super textured look (versus slicked back and smooth).

5.       Secure above or at the curve of the head with a hair tie (the positioning makes it more playful.)

6.       Gently pull on the hair to create height and adjust the look.

7.       Wrap a small section of hair around the base of the pony and tuck for a messy, sexy ponytail or add a metallic pony cuff for a chic way to accessorize the look.

 Zendaya –Topknot

Zendaya Coleman Top Knot

1.       To create the effortless top knot, you need a little grit or dirt in your hair which requires applying as much dry shampoo as you can.

2.       In the AM, hold your breath and spray through hair before you create your topknot. 

3.       Then in the PM, release your work knot and shake it out by flipping your head over and mussing for volume and texture. The product will have prepped the hair and controlled the day’s oils.

4.       Next take a fine size amount of molding paste, like Oribe Rough Luxury between your palms and rub through your hair.

5.       Follow with hairspray for grip and a shine finish and flip back over.

6.       Recreate your morning knot, but placing it more forward, towards the front of the head. (On the crown is more for a day look whereas more forward is nighttime-ready!)

 

 

Joan Smalls — Glam Waves

1.       Go for the two pigtail twist trick. 

2.       Part dry hair into two pigtails and spray each one with a dry texturizing spray.

3.       Take each pigtail and section into two braids, securing at the ends with a hair tie.

4.       Another option is to take each pigtail and twist tightly into two buns right above each ear, securing with a hair tie.

5.       Sleep overnight and upon rising in the morning shake out and apply more dry texture spray for volume. Voila! Easy, beachy waves.
