New Year’s Eve is a few days away and we’ve got seven amazing hairstyle ideas for you to choose from — and the best part? They’re all DIY, meaning none of these ‘gram-worthy styles require a professional! Plus, the final holiday of the year is the time to experiment with bold accessories you’ve had your eye on but might have otherwise shied away from earlier in the year — not to mention going glam with big waves, or keeping it chic-yet-semi-casual with a dreamy ponytail. Go ahead and pour a glass of champagne, try these last-minute hairstyles out, and don’t forget to take a selfie.
1. Bold Accessories
If you are in the mood to go bold, we love the idea of using basic metal hair clips (150 to be exact) to create this standout look.
2. Glam Waves
It’s a classic for a reason. We love the look of glam waves on everyone and, as a bonus, this look can be easily recreated at home with your favorite curling iron.
3. Subtle Accessories
This hairstyle looks like it might be complicated, but it’s actually super easy. Simply slick back your hair into a low ponytail, and then use eyelash glue to apply the crystals wherever you like. Make sure you get your hair as flat to your head as possible to ensure the crystals stay put.
4. Dreamy Ponytail
A long pony is always chic, and we love that this style also wraps hair around the hair tie, which is the key to make the ponytail look truly effortless.
5. Fun Braids
Braids can be a little intimidating, but we love this look and it’s much easier than you would think. Simply style your hair however you like, then part your hair down the center and braid your hair on each side.
6. Long and Loose
We also love this simple, yet very pretty, long, and loose style. Depending on your hair type, you might be able to let your hair air-dry to achieve this ‘do, which makes it an easier feat.
7. A Chic Updo
We can’t talk about New Year’s Eve hair without mentioning an updo! We love this one because it works for all hair types and lengths; you can pull some hair out in the front, or you can loosely pull all your hair back – so much versatility!
