Read on to get inspired and find the perfect hairstyle to wear on New Year’s Eve!

1. Braided Bun

This sophisticated updo simply had to make it to this list! Braided buns and updos are a popular choice for the festive season, and although you don’t need to go as crazy as if you were just selected to star in your local Grinch musical, you can certainly go a little extra by adding remy hair extensions for the ultimate volume and length. As seen on superstar Jennifer Lopez, the braided bun is a top-notch hairstyle choice for an elegant dinner party. If you have a pair of important earrings or an elaborate necklace to show off, this is the right style for you.

2. Hollywood Waves

Perhaps you’re more into letting your hair down and getting the flawless curves of an old-school diva in your tresses – in that case, let me introduce you to the Hollywood waves, a glamorous hairstyle capable of making you feel as if you were born to step on the red carpet. Hollywood waves are a timeless hairstyle inspired by the celebrities of the silver screen. Nowadays, this look makes a popular choice for fancy dates, wedding looks and even a night at the theatre. On top of that, Hollywood Waves are a prime choice amongst celebrity red carpet looks. Its elegant and retro vibe dresses up or down easily, depending on your outfit of choice. A great way to style your long locks this party season.

3. Rope Braid

The rope braid is a modern take on the classic plait, giving it a twist (quite in the literal sense) for an edgy, trendy finish. In its own way, this hairstyle is incredibly elegant and sophisticated but remains fierce, ideal for those who are looking to make some jaws drop at their New Year’s Eve party. As seen on Kim Kardashian and other fellow A-listers, the rope braid has been an incredibly popular hairstyle throughout the past year, rapidly becoming a TikTok certified trend. Is your hair long and thick enough to bring to life this cool braid? If not, you can always resort to clip-in ponytail hair extensions. Super discreet and 100% made of Remy human hair, it will be impossible to tell from your natural tresses. 

4. Low Chignon

Are you after a timeless classic that will make you look elite without any effort? Then look no further than this hairstyle. A classic for formal events, the low chignon never really lost its appeal – and to this day, it can still be admired both on glamorous celebrities and blushing brides alike. This hairstyle can be worn as it is, shiny and minimal, or embellished with hair jewellery or flowers - the choice is yours. In case your hair lacks the right volume to get the perfectly round chignon, you can look into adding volume and length with Seamless Hair Extensions - no one will know.

5. Sleek Ponytail

What if you want to look both badass and classy? Try with a silky, sleek ponytail. In particular, one specific pony style has rapidly become a classic: the slicked back, super-silky ponytail. The style – that can easily be recreated with the aid of clip in ponytail hair extensions – is an evergreen hairstyle that can be worn on many different occasions and will keep you super stylish regardless. It goes well with any outfit and can be curled or flipped out according to the vibe you’re looking to achieve. You can pair it with a trendy middle-parting or a retro side part for a 90s finish.

6. Heatless Curls

Take it from the stars – sometimes less is more, and a simple curly blowout can go a very long way. You can now achieve a gorgeous salon-like blowout in the comfort of your own home, without using any heat, and without stressing your strands. You may think I’ve gone completely crazy, but let me introduce you to the curling ribbon, the latest TikTok trend everybody’s been talking about.

There is something incredibly romantic and classy about a good half-up, half-down hairstyle: this type of ‘do can give life to a plethora of looks, depending on what you’re looking for. You can add in seamless hair extensions to get more length and play with layered curls, or you can use ultra volume hair extensions to work on a complex, plaited look if you want to be a little extra.

9. Preppy Ponytail

Preppy vibes are coming back, and I couldn’t be any more excited about it! Get inspired by the country club vibe and make this style yours (you can also look into light or dark academia outfits to match). But what does a preppy ponytail look like? Picture this: a softly curled ponytail, topped off by old-money inspired hair accessories such as pearl-encrusted clips or an oversized bow to finish off the hairstyle in true festive fashion.

10. Bubble Braid Or Bubble Ponytail

Also known as the bubble ponytail, this hairstyle is nothing but another Y2K trend that has made a successful, raging comeback.

Super easy to recreate, the bubble braid has been spotted on celebrities such as Oliva Wilde (who paired the look with thick, blunt bangs) and Gigi Hadid - who chose to bubble braid only her face-framing tendrils.You can use seamless hair extensions on your sides to create two bubble braids, or use clip in ponytail hair extensions to get the a thick bubble ponytail that would put Princess Jasmine to shame.

11. Spiky Bun

Also labelled as the “model off-duty” hairstyle, the spiky bun has seen an increase of popularity after Bella Hadid rocked it on her instagram profile. I can’t blame anyone for loving this hairstyle: not only is it incredibly trendy, it’s also astonishingly easy to recreate and is one of the most comfortable options out there!

With the raging comeback of fashion and trends belonging to the last pre-smartphones years, it was inevitable to see this cute hairstyle making a dramatic entrance too.
