Happy Hair, Happy You: 4 Hairstyles To Wear While Ringing In 2022

If last year was all about embracing natural texture and no-fuss hairstyles for obvious reasons (movie nights on the couch were a Friday night highlight!), 2022 is set to be all of that and a little more. The start of a new year necessitates new beginnings of all kinds, making it the ideal time for new hair trends.

Audrey D’Souza, Lead Educator - Hair, Lakmé Salon shares a few stylish hairstyle ideas to help you elevate your New Year's Eve party look. Leave your usual hairstyles at home and try these trendy new ones to be the star of your New Year's Eve bash.

Party Ponytails

Since we can't get enough of the ponytail, we're wearing it to ring in the New Year as well. However, don't expect to see the same simple ponytail hairstyles we've been sporting for years. These new Party Ponytails are bigger, badder, bolder, and more stylish than ever before:

A ponytail with a bow

Tie your naturally wavy or curly hair loosely into a messy ponytail and wrap it with a large bow. If your hair is straight, spray your ponytail with TIGI Bed Head Superstar Queen For A Day for added texture, this will add that extra oomph of volume, body and lift that just won’t quit. This amazing thickening spray helps to create volume and texture that lasts. Spray on roots to add lift or on mid-lengths to ends for texture. It is great for fine hair to add body on any hair length. Once you’ve got the desired texture and wrapped the hair well, spray Masterpiece Massive Shine Hairspray to add instant texture. This stylish hairstyle is low-maintenance and, not to mention, adorable.

Pony with a plait

Make a high ponytail with your natural hair, if your hair is frizzy, apply TIGI Control Freak on damp hair, which helps fight humidity and leaves hair smooth and silky. It is great for naturally curly or frizzy hair. Once done, secure it with a hairband. Spray TIGI Bedhead Masterpiece for support and texture and then, make a French plait with your ponytail tresses. This hairstyle is best suited for long hair and is a sure-fire party stunner.

Futuristic pony

This sleek, clean hairstyle exudes a futuristic vibe. To achieve this sleek, pulled-back ponytail, apply a generous amount of TIGI Bed Head Control Freak Frizz Control Serum to the hair and comb through with a flat brush. To provide extra hold as you tie your hair back into a ponytail, spray a little TIGI Bed Head Masterpiece Massive Shine Hairspray directly onto your flat brush. Wrap a tiny section of hair from the bottom of your ponytail around your elastic and secure with a hairpin once your ponytail is in place.

Bob

The bob is timeless and makes its appearance in different forms. For your New Year’s Eve hairstyle, you can opt for either a curly bob or a wavy bob.

For the wavy bob, start by sectioning the hair. Gently begin crimping up the strands with the flat iron to achieve that wavy crimped bob look. Use the Schwarzkopf Professional Hair Spray Flexible Hold to retain the bounce and keep the hairstyle in place.

The curly bob is a bit more complex, but the final look is an attention-stealer. Start by running the TIGI Bed Head Control Freak Frizz Control Serum through the hair strands on damp hair. Take a few front sections of the hair and begin curling it with a curling iron. It isn’t necessary to curl all the sections of your hair just a few strands at the front and a few behind. Finish with the TIGI Bed Head Masterpiece Massive Shine Hairspray to keep the curls locked in.

Bangs

There’s no time like the New Year to try a new bang hairstyle. Bangs can truly transform your look and be a total crowd-pleaser. They can frame the face beautifully, highlighting the eyes and cheekbones. From straight bangs to wavy bangs, to curly bangs for our curly-haired girls out there are plenty of options to choose from. We recommend consulting a hairstylist before snipping off your hair to get the best look.

For the straight bangs look, first blow-dry your hair flat brush, make sure to brush it downwards straight and once you reach the tip and flick bangs upwards for added volume. Use the TIGI Bed Head Oh Bee Hive Matte Dry Shampoo to style your bangs followed by the TIGI Bed Head Masterpiece Massive Shine Hairspray to add shine and keep it in place.

If you have wavy fringe/bangs, we recommend air-drying it to emphasize the texture of the hair. Spritz a light layer of the featherlight mist of TIGI Bed Head Masterpiece Massive Shine Hairspray to hold it in place. You can also add hair clips to set your bangs in a certain way.

For curly bangs, air-dry your hair and once around 90% dry, run the TIGI Bed Head Control Freak Frizz Control Serum through the hair strands to rehydrate and reactivate the curls and keep it frizz-free.

To keep with the spirit of the New Year, we highly recommend accessorizing your hairstyles with shiny, rhinestone-studded accessories.
