The countdown is on. You probably have an outfit ready for New Year’s Eve, but what’s your hair game plan for the big night? Updos seem an obvious choice, but not all styles work for every hair length.
Super-short hair can be a little tricky, but as we see in this video from Elle, it’s quite simple to sleekly tuck it back without using a million bobby pins. Start by spraying in dry shampoo to create a little texture — this will keep hair from slipping out. Then pull everything back into a low twist, but leave a little volume on top. Employ an extra-large hair pin, which will firmly anchor the style in place.
A soft, romantic option for mid-length hair is a faux bob. The key is making it subtly disheveled, which lends a understated sexiness to the style. Find chin-grazing layers around the crown of the head. Leaving those loose, pull the rest of the hair into a low ponytail. Use a bobby pin to tuck and effectively hide the ponytail underneath — this creates the faux bob. Next, use a 1-inch curling iron to give the front pieces a bit of wave. Tousle hair all over to make sure there are loose strands all around, as well as ensuring the ponytail is still concealed.
