Mermaid Waves with Balayage
Embrace the allure of mermaid waves, best complemented by a balayage effect. Combining shadow roots, babylights, and highlights creates a stunning color transition. What better way to showcase this movement than with long hair?
Glamorous Bombshell Curls
This stunning model showcases long, captivating tresses that have been seamlessly balayaged for a chic low maintenance color. I adore the effortless vibe of the balayage combined with these playful, lustrous curls.
Defined Curls
This stunning style flows from straight at the crown to tightly curled just below the top of the head.
Elegant Slicked Back Glamour
This elegant slicked-back party hairstyle radiates sophistication and a hint of contemporary glam. Perfect for medium to thick hair, it showcases sleek, wet-look waves brushed back to reveal the face, adding an aspect of boldness. Ideal for formal occasions or a night out, this style guarantees your hair stays in place while providing a chic, polished appearance. The look is elevated with a high-shine finish, ensuring it stands out in any environment.
The Elevated Quarter
This elegant hairstyle with fringe features soft, voluminous waves and long curtain bangs that beautifully frame the face. Perfect for medium to thick hair, the subtle highlights enhance dimension and depth. Ideal for anyone looking for a refined yet practical style, this look complements natural beauty with its flowing waves and face-framing layers. Regular trims and a quality mousse will help maintain volume and shape.
Stunning Half Updo with Braided Chains
This hairstyle showcases a beautifully swept-up design secured by delicate braided chains for a chic half-updo appearance. It makes you feel like royalty, providing that essential confidence boost for the entire evening!
Cascading Twists
This event-ready hairstyle exudes boho elegance. The flowing twists on both sides contribute to the contemporary bohemian style that is gaining popularity and are my favorite aspect of the look.
For this hairstyle, you will need a 1-inch curling iron, a sectioning comb, three clips for sectioning, bobby pins, a clear elastic, a strong hold hairspray, and a shine spray.
This hairstyle is suitable for all ages and occasions, providing a bold yet modern and vibrant appearance to any face. Accessories such as flowers and clips can be incorporated to elevate the look.
Sleek Serenity
This stunning hairstyle showcases sleek, voluminous waves that convey grace and sophistication. Perfect for medium to thick hair, this style enhances bounce and shine, ideal for elegant occasions or soirées. The gentle, flowing waves accentuate the face beautifully, making it suitable for all face shapes. This look is perfect for those seeking a refined, red-carpet-ready style that’s both classic and effortlessly stylish.
Half Up, Half Down Style
The half-up, half-down hairstyle for festive occasions will consistently impress when it comes to special gatherings. Incorporate loose curls and waves to enhance your long, blonde mane with added flair. Twists and texture will also bring a magical touch to your complete look. A waterfall braid serves as a fantastic option to adorn the waves, too.
Celebration Bob
A tousled type of mane creates an ideal look, and this jaw-length celebration bob is a fantastic example. The texture throughout is impeccable. Everything about it contributes to a soft, undone finish to elevate your blonde hair.
Elegant Middle Part Side Braid for Short Hair
This is effortless waves with a boho “expanded” side braid. The expanded braid is an exquisite feature of this look.
All you have to do differently to achieve an expanded braid is to apply a texture or thickening spray, like the Dry Texture Spray from Oribe, to a regular braid, and then slowly start to pull it apart making the braid bigger.
This look is great for long hair, but it’s even better for short hair. It’s a fantastic way for bob length hair to achieve a chic style.
You can do more beach waves and wear it as a daytime look, or polish your curls a little bit more and wear it to a wedding or as a bridesmaid.
Fishtail Braid Tutorial
Do you have a last-minute party invitation? Need an elegant hairstyle that’s simple to achieve? A fishtail braid is the perfect solution for your evening! Ideal for long, flowing hair, this style flourishes with a touch of texture.
’70s Curly Disco Hairstyle
Sport a 70s curly disco hairstyle at your next party for a striking, textured look that fits perfectly with a retro theme. If your hair naturally has curls, simply brush your freshly curled hair, add some texture powder, fluff it up, and you’re ready to shine. On the other hand, if your hair isn’t naturally curly, using a 1/2-inch curling iron on small sections of your hair will give you the curls you need to brush out and make an impression. Stand out with this vintage-inspired look and impress your friends.
Casual Brunette Waves
This mid-length hairstyle featuring loose waves is great for an easygoing yet elegant party vibe. The relaxed waves enhance volume and texture, resulting in a whimsical and effortless appearance. This hairstyle is suitable for medium to thick hair and complements naturally wavy or lightly curled hair beautifully. It’s an excellent choice for those seeking a fashionable, low-maintenance style that highlights the face while adding a hint of fun.
Polished Glamorous Hollywood Waves
Try this stunning hairstyle, and you’ll shine like a star! This polished glam look showcases sleek waves and is straightforward to recreate with long, dark locks. For the finishing touch, apply oil and a flexible hairspray to enhance hold and shine.
This creation by Phoebe Georgia Stronach North West, UK beautifully combines the contemporary red carpet trend of slicked-back hair with timeless, vintage Hollywood waves. “I absolutely adore the bold and polished silhouette that this style provides,” says Stronach.
Festive Bob
Transform your everyday bob into a festive look with curls and hair pins.
Glamorous Diva Hair
This is undoubtedly the hairstyle to choose if you aim to captivate attention like a true diva.

The Elegant High Bun
Elevate your look with this chic hairstyle. Add an accessory to one side of the high bun for an extra touch of glam. The face-framing strands provide a softer look, perfect for your dark brown locks.
This ballerina bun is designed for women seeking a stylish and contemporary appearance. What I adore about it is how it retains femininity while exuding a playful elegance.
For this hairstyle, longer hair is ideal; if your hair is shorter, consider incorporating extensions. If your hair is fine, enhance its volume by gently crimping it beforehand.
Hairspray is essential for styling. Personalize your look with a unique accessory, or for a more casual vibe, leave it accessory-free.
Contemporary Beehive Style
The contemporary beehive is one of the more distinctive party hairstyles you’ll encounter. Maintain the height we admired in the 60s, but elevate it this season!
Women of all ages can elevate this look for a chic and sophisticated occasion, or tone it down for a casual dinner date with friends!
The key aspect to consider with this style is the height! Teasing to create a strong foundation is essential for durability.
My favorite products for this style are the strong hold hairspray by Davines and Shimmer.Shine by Kevin Murphy. This style is an effortless way to refresh your weekly routine.
Defined Curls
Defined and vibrant curls bring an energetic flair perfect for any party. Enhance your look with a multi-dimensional blonde shade. Choose a hairstyle featuring gentle layers and a shoulder-length cut to elevate its silhouette.
Relaxed Party Curls
This is a relaxed party style. The hair is pulled half up so that it’s out of the face, but leave pieces down throughout the style around the face so that it feels more romantic and effortless. There is a bit of volume in the crown, so it isn’t too monotone and a very loose braid on the one side. This hairstyle is charming and playful. You could wear this to attend a wedding, on a date, a party, or even to transition from day to a night out.
If someone is considering this look to either get it done at a salon or do it themselves, I would say keep in mind the thickness of their hair. The length doesn’t matter so much, so long as their hair in the front is long enough to be pinned up. But if the hair is thinner I would recommend taking pieces and rolling them to give the illusion of more intricacy in the style.
You can do this if your hair is straight, wavy, or curly. I think if you leave the hair in its natural state it makes the look more casual and the more you curl or make the texture “perfect” looking the more formal it can be.
Chic Twisted Waves
These twisted waves are perfect for any celebration! Streaks of blonde provide subtle hints of radiance, enhancing the overall style. Allow the length to just touch the shoulders for a trendy lob.
Stunning Curled Half Updo for Espresso Brown Tresses
Experience the stunning curled half-updo for espresso brown tresses! Ideal for enhancing your natural glam vibe, this style will create movement and texture in your long hair.
Sleek Jet Black Curls for a Night Out
This stylish hairstyle is ideal for long black hair that craves some playful vibes. Get your hair away from your face and behind your ears effortlessly by using pins and hairspray, allowing you to dance all night without interruptions.
Stunning Braids for Long Ash Brown Tresses
Chic, effortless, and bohemian are just a few of the traits that define stunning party hairstyles! I adore this updo because it’s straightforward and simple to achieve. Additionally, this braided style can elevate both special events and everyday wear!
This look is stylishly modern and truly laid-back, without needing absolute precision! In my view, a more tousled appearance only enhances the charm! Moreover, this hairstyle is suitable for both fine and thick hair, provided the length is shoulder length or longer.
The Voluminous Blowout
Dreaming of a long, luxurious hairstyle? Grab your brush and hairdryer because the voluminous blowout will fulfill your desires. Nothing’s more stunning than showcasing your caramel balayage with this kind of bounce.
Elegant and Defined Retro Waves
No one can resist a classic look when it comes to party hairstyles! It provides a sophisticated style, making you an absolute head-turner. For your mid-length copper, elegant and defined vintage waves will be an excellent choice.

This conditioning foam helps your straight hair maintain the shape of your round brush, streamlining the blow-drying process significantly.

Wand curls are incredibly versatile, stylish, and exude a youthful vibe. Caviar Perfect Iron Spray shields hair from iron heat, up to 450 F. This hairstyle complements all face shapes with medium to high-density hair and medium texture.
The Effortless Beach Waves
This effortless beach waves hairstyle is perfect for a laid-back yet stylish appearance. The soft waves provide volume and texture, creating a breezy and uncomplicated style that flatters various face shapes. The shoulder-length cut enhances natural waves, making it ideal for medium to thick hair. It’s a low-maintenance option that frames the face beautifully, adding a fun and chic element to any party outfit.
Elegant Waves
This glamorous hairstyle provides a sophisticated touch reminiscent of beach texture waves.
This wavy hair appears and feels soft, shiny, and pristine, making it ideal for a formal occasion. For the best results, your hair should have some texture and be slightly unwashed. Begin with completely dry hair and generously spray various hairsprays throughout. Allow it to dry, then brush through until your strands feel thickened.
Utilize a 1-inch curling iron to wave the hair, alternating directions while ensuring the front sections are waved away from your face. While curling, keep an inch of the ends out of the iron to retain the hair’s length. Conclude with a medium-hold hairspray and wait for about five minutes for it to set. Tilt your head back, and gently comb your fingers through as you shake to enhance the waves.
Elegant & Chic
This is an elegant and chic hairstyle for a party, but without being overly sophisticated. It is simple, sleek, and truly stylish!
It’s perfect for a woman who wants to appear polished yet effortless. A low ponytail is stunning, but this wrapped bun brings a creative twist. This style is made for fine hair, but any hair type can achieve it. For styling products, opt for a light paste and some hairspray.
Glamorous Mermaid Waves for Fuller Hair
This stylish mermaid waves hairstyle is perfect for any celebration. With long, flowing waves that provide volume and grace, this look is ideal for medium to thick hair types. The waves are well-defined yet soft, offering a chic and timeless charm. To achieve this look, use a large-barrel curling iron and carefully brush out the curls for a polished finish. It’s a versatile style that complements various face shapes, enhancing natural allure while adding a hint of elegance.
Bold Braided Ponytail for Festivals

If you love braiding, this look is perfect for you. If not, consider visiting your hairstylist to achieve this style.
This hairstyle is ideal for someone who enjoys experimenting with new and exciting trends. You’ll want to have a thickening product like Materialiste from Kerastase or VIP- Volume In Powder from Kerastase to achieve a voluminous, full braid.
This style works best on thicker hair types but can also be created with a texture iron from Sam Villa to add significant volume to your hair.
A lively and spirited individual can confidently pull off this look regardless of the occasion.
