Party Hairstyles: Our Top 10 Picks
1. Slicked-Back Low Bun
This party hairstyle can take you from a holiday lunch gathering to a cocktail party in the evening. You can leave a few face-framing strands to inject a laid-back vibe.
Editor’s tip: Keep your hair smooth and easy to style with TRESemmé Keratin Smooth KERA10 Shampoo. It has KERA10 Protein Complex that goes up to 10 layers deep into your hair to nourish your strands. This shampoo also gives your hair 10 salon benefits in one wash. It has an anti-frizz and anti-humidity formulation. It also makes your hair soft and smooth, adds shine, detangles, strengthens hair, tames flyaways, provides heat protection, and leaves a long-lasting fragrance.
After shampooing, use TRESemmé Keratin Smooth KERA10 Serum Conditioner for best results. It has KERA10 Protein complex and oleo serum to moisturize and nourish your hair deeply.
2. Banana Clip Bun
Here’s another easy hair bun for you to try. To create this ‘do, put your hair in a ponytail using a banana clip instead of a hair tie. Then, twist your hair and wrap it around the base of your ponytail (between the banana clip and the back of your head) to form a bun. Secure it with a few bobby pins, and you’re done!
3. Half-Up Boho Braid
For daytime parties, try this sweet, boho-chic hairstyle. The braids add texture, while the rest of your hair creates a laid-back look.
4. Curly Blowout
Curls and waves elevate a simple down ‘do, so it’s no surprise that they make for great party hairstyles. But did you know you can curl your hair using a blow dryer? To do this, get a round metal brush and wrap a section of hair around it as you blow-dry. Position your brush vertically afterward to release your hair. Do this to all sections of your hair. Finish with a few spritzes of hairspray to keep your bouncy waves on point.
5. Curly High Half-Up Ponytail
This hairstyle gives off a retro vibe—perfect for ’80s-themed parties. Nail this look with a perky, half-up ponytail and bouncy curls cascading down your back.
6. Twists for Short Curly Hair
Make your short curly hair party-ready by twisting two to three small sections on one side and securing them with bobby pins. Don’t forget to style your natural curls with hair mousse to make them smooth and defined.
7. Tousled Low Ponytail
Got long, thin hair? Go for this party hairstyle for texture and volume. Use a rat-tail comb to tease your hair for that tousled look, and spritz hairspray all over your hair afterward to make your hairstyle last.
Editor’s tip: Teasing your hair may cause breakage and split ends, so make sure to include hair-strengthening products in your hair care regimen. We recommend Cream Silk Ultimate Reborn Hair Fall Defense Tri-Oleo Conditioner. It is infused with argan, rosehip, and marula oils to help strengthen, smoothen, and moisturize your hair. It also has Break Shield Complex, which helps make brittle hair stronger from the roots to the tips.
8. Curly Ponytail
Put your hair in a curly ponytail and let it bounce as you bust some moves on the dance floor. Try this if you’re going to a rave or street party for NYE!
Editor’s tip: Heat-styling tools like curling irons and hair straighteners can cause extreme hair damage. Use Dove Intense Repair Keratin Tri-Silk Serum Shampoo to nurse your strands back to their healthy-looking state. This shampoo has keratin, fiber actives, and serum ingredients to repair damage, nourish and protect your hair deeply, and leave it extra beautiful. It also has Keratin Repair Actives to repair and nourish damaged hair from its core to its surface.
Pair Dove Intense Repair Keratin Tri-Silk Serum Shampoo with Dove Keratin Repair 1 Minute Serum Conditioner for best results.
9. Faux French Twist With a Hair Claw
If you only have seconds to style your hair for a party, this hairstyle is your best bet. Just twist your hair and clip it at the back of your head with a hair claw. If you’re gunning for an elegant look, choose a metallic hair claw or one adorned with faux pearls.
10. Ballerina Bun
A sleek and classic hairstyle, the ballerina bun fits any occasion. Jazz up your ‘do by putting a beaded hair accessory around the base of your bun.
Getting ready for parties is a breeze when you don’t need to spend hours doing your hair. With these easy party hairstyles, you’ll be done in minutes, and you can spend more time bonding with your family and friends. Enjoy!
