That's why we've selected a few styling options in this article that guarantee a glamorous appearance on New Year's Eve. Our elegant updo ideas come with instructions so you can easily recreate the look you want.
Braided chignon with hair accessories
Festive updos are really glamorous and round off any party outfit perfectly. Our first suggestion is for a braided chignon at the back of the neck, which can be jazzed up with hair accessories to match the dress. The New Year's Eve hairstyle looks great and works best on women with long hair. In fact, this updo is much easier than it seems at first glance.
What you need:
– Hair clammer
– three hair ties
– Hair accessories (optional)
Here's how:
1. Brush the hair back and section it off at the top of the head. Then pin the sectioned hair firmly with hair clips. If necessary, twist a little so that the hair clips are secure.
2. Then divide the hair into three strands, with the middle one being thicker than the left and right. Now braid three braids and then pluck them a little with your fingers. This makes them look wider.
3. Take the middle (largest) braid and twist it counterclockwise into a bun. Secure the bun with hair clips.
4. Twist the left braid around the bun and secure the end with a hair clip.
5. Repeat the previous step with the right braid.
6. If necessary, secure the braided chignon with several hairpins and clips so that it stands firmly.
7. If desired, the elegant updo can be spiced up with hair accessories. You can position the accessory directly above the chignon and add a touch of elegance to the hairstyle. Tip: For a well-rounded look, match the hair accessories with the other jewelry, such as earrings and necklace.
Loose chignon as a festive updo
Regardless of whether you spend New Year's Eve in a fine restaurant or at home with friends, the festive outfit and hairstyle will contribute to the right party atmosphere. With an elegant updo, you are sure to make an impression, regardless of where the New Year is being celebrated. Below we present a loose styling variant of the chignon that is still verylooks effective.
What you need:
– Hair tie
– Hair clips to match the hair color
This is how the hairstyle works:
1. Tie the hair into a ponytail at the nape of your neck. Treat very fine hair in advance with a suitable styling product.
2. Divide the ponytail into four equal strands and pin each with a hair clip on the corresponding side (except the bottom). It's best to use hair clips that match your hair color so that they don't stand out.
3. Now take the top strand of hair and loop it so that a kind of loop is created. It should be as voluminous as possible, but in no case should it be tangled. When the desired effect is achieved, pin the strand with a bobby pin.
4. Repeat the previous step with the left, right and bottom strands of hair. Make sure that the loops are approximately the same size and try to place the hair clips so that as little of them as possible is visible.
5. Once all the strands are pinned, you can pull or pluck the loops as desired until the updo gets the look you want. For a more casual look, simply pull out the side strands of hair at the front of your head and let them fall around your face.
Tip: Loose updos are perfect for a New Year's Eve on the town or at oneHouse party.
