4 easy hairstyles for holiday parties

i’ll be honest, i am not someone who likes to spend a whole lot of time or money on my hair, especially when it’s for one-night-only events, like a holiday party.  i usually end up just being lazy and wearing my hair like i wear it every other day.  but i have a couple holiday parties coming up and want to do something a little different, but still easy and inexpensive.  so i found some pretty hairstyles i like that are easy – let me know if you have any other ideas to share!

1) pin it back. just take some hair on either side and pin it back with some bobby pins – effortless and better than wearing it straight down!

2) add a braid. either a long, loose braid or a small braid around the crown of your head.  easy enough, right?

3) wear a headband. you can wear a simple, subtle headband or go all out with a rhinestone one!

4) wear your hair the opposite of how you normally do. if you are naturally curly, get a good hair straightener and go super sleek.  if you are naturally straight, put some curlers and hairspray in your hair to add some curl and volume.
