18 New Year’s Eve Hairstyles to Rock When the Clock Hits Midnight

Whether you love or hate New Year’s Eve, there’s one thing we can all agree on: It gives us one great excuse to dress up and go all out with hair and makeup. If you’re looking for some hairstyle ideas that incorporate the works—glitter, jewels, and big volume—look no further than these It-girl-approved looks to ring in 2020 in style.

1. Put a Headband on it

The headband made its great return into our lives this year. Close it out by topping off your NYE look with one, like Maya Hawke’s embellished style.

 

2. Twisted Ponytail

Secure a high ponytail with a hair elastic like you normally would, brushing the sides for a sleek finish. Take a one-inch section, twist it around the elastic, pin underneath, and spray it to death for a style that will last long past midnight.

 

3. Pumped-Up Waves

Glam ’80s waves go with everything from a cocktail dress to a pantsuit, as Margot Robbie demonstrates. Go heavy on the mousse and choose a curling iron with at least a one-inch barrel.
