New Year's Eve Hairstyle

There's no occasion that makes you want to turn heads more than New Year's Eve. With this look, you can show off your gorgeous healthy hair, while also getting the height and volume you crave in a hairstyle.

Get the attention you want this
New Year's with the sleek
yet fun hairstyle!
Get the look:

1. After washing your hair, spray in a heat protectant like Paul Mitchell's Seal and Shine. Also add a volumizing product to your hair like Kevin.Murphy's Anti.Gravity

2. Blow dry hair with your head flipped over to add volume. Straighten or curl hair (either works for this style) with your U-Smooth flat iron.   

3. Do a dramatic side part with your bangs. Let bangs frame your face and pin longer hairs behind your ear.

4. Grab the hair directly behind your bangs. Tease this section of hair to create volume right behind your bangs. Spray tease into place. 

5. Starting at your ears, part your hair into a top half and a bottom half.

6. Softly, as to not pull your teased section of hair flat, pull top section into a pile behind your head. Try to get hair facing in many different directions. Pin pieces of hair into place to get desired messy look. Spray to hold.

7. Leave the rest of your hair down. 

This look is perfect for showing off your gorgeous hair, while also showing off an awesome new pair of earrings! Try it this New Year's Eve or for your next party.

Holiday Hair: Side-Swept Locks

The side-sweep is not just for bangs anymore! One of this season's most glamorous hairstyles is side-swept locks. Wear this sleek style to your holiday parties this season for a look that will turn heads!

Celebrate this holiday season with
gorgeous hair!
Get this look:

1. Apply a mousse and a heat protectant to wet hair. Blow dry hair to desired side. For a more dramatic effect, do a drastic part on the opposite side from where your hair will lay.

2. Create large curls with hot rollers, a curling iron, or a flat iron. Click here to see how to create curls with your U-Smooth flat iron.

3. Pull hair to desired side. Slick flat side back with a styling pomade. Try Paul Mitchell's Tea Tree Grooming Pomade.

4. Create a small french twist starting at the slicked back side moving towards the loose side in order to keep hair in place. Do this by taking hair from slicked side and begin to twist hair inward towards the nape of the neck. Keep adding to this twist as it forms at the nape of the neck moving toward the loose side. Add bobby pins into the twist as you are forming it.

5. Secure the end of the twist once you get close to the opposite ear. Let the rest of your hair lay on your shoulder.

6. For added volume, back comb some bottom layer curls. Spray in place.

Look gorgeous for every holiday party this season with curly side-swept locks!
