#23: Modern-Day Beehive

The modern-day beehive is one of the more unique party hairstyles you’ll see. Keep the height that we saw in the 60s, but elevate it this year!

Women of all ages can dress this lookup for a chic and sophisticated occasion, or dress it down for a casual dinner date with the girls!

The one thing to take into consideration with this look is the height! Teasing to create a solid foundation is crucial for sustainability.

My favorite products to use for this look are the strong hold hairspray by Davines and Shimmer.Shine by Kevin Murphy. This look is an easy way to switch up your weekly routine.

#24: Braided & Chic

This chic braided look is great for parties, casual weddings, and fun events. The best thing about this look is how the loose waves intertwine with the braids to creates a soft look that is very wearable.

For best results, start with clean, dry hair. Prep the hair with thermal protectant spray, then wrap sections with a 3/4-inch iron to create the waves. Braid the hair one side at a time in a Dutch braid that you open up gently and then tie the ends. Finish with the light hairspray.

#25: Cascading Twists

This party hairstyle is boho chic. The cascading twists on either side add to the modern boho style that is trending right now and are my favorite part of the hairstyle.

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 perfect for any age group or event and gives an edgy yet modern and bubbly appearance to any face. Accessories such as flowers and clips can be added to enhance the look.

#26: Classy & Dressy

This is a classy and dressy hairstyle for a party, but without being a too sophisticated. It is the simple, smooth and really classy!

It’s recommend for a woman who wants to look simple but neat. A low ponytail is stunning but this wrapped bun is creative. This style is created on thin hair, but any hair type can achieve it. As far as styling products go, use a light paste and some hairspray.

#31: Slicked Back Glam

Wear this hairstyle, and you’ll be a star of the night! This slicked back glam look features sleek waves and is easy to recreate if you have long, dark tresses. For the final touch, use oil and a flexible hairspray for extra hold and shine.

This look by Phoebe Georgia Stronach North West, UK is the perfect fusion between the modern red carpet trend of slicked-back hair and classic, vintage Hollywood waves. “I absolutely love the powerful, sexy, and sleek silhouette that this style creates,” says Stronach.

This hairstyle is the perfect party hair. It oozes confidence, yet the wave at the back makes it so much more wearable than the modern, straight slick back hair. “I would say it works best on long hair if you want the uniform waves, however it could work well on medium shoulder length hair with a more tousled wave,” Stronach explains.

The key products you’ll need to achieve this look are a hairdryer, one inch curler, a mixed bristle brush, Color Wow’s Pop and Lock, a shine spray, hair gel, and a couple of bobby pins. Some top tips for achieving this style would be to blow dry your hair back without a parting (if you don’t have time the slick back nature of this style means it also works really well on 1 or 2 day old hair – perfect if you’re going straight out from the office and don’t have much time to style your hair).

Stronach suggests, “Curl all your hair in the same direction to get that Hollywood wave, and don’t be scared to really brush it out. Comb all your hair back, spraying it with a shine spray – I love VO5 Tame and Shine because it gives a small amount of hold too. Add a liberal amount of Color Wow’s Pop and Lock to tame any flyaways and give a real high shine.”

If you need extra security or want a more dramatic look, you could run hair gel through your roots, and if you’re planning on dancing, use a couple of bobby pins to secure the sides behind your ears. Finish off with a spritz of hairspray. Stronach’s favorite for a high shine finish is Morrocan Oil Luminous Hairspray.
