It’s that time of year again.. New Years Eve!

The night when we glam up and pop on our party shoes!

Whether you’re dancing the night away, toasting under the New Years fireworks, or simply celebrating in a backyard with friends, one thing is for sure: You want party hair that rocks!!

 

Here are five bold styles to help you ring in 2025 with confidence and curls that turn heads.

What you'll need: 

• Your favourite LOHY. Products. We recommend for these styles a combo of Cruise Control Curl Cream, Chutzpah Volumising Foam, Oomph Volumising Gel & POW Strong Hold Gel, Hold-It Shimmer Hair Spray and last but not least, Hush Nourishing Oil. 
• Your trusty Flexi Brush
• A soft Bristle Brush (a toothbrush will also do fine)
• Hair ties, scrunchies and whatever bling you want to use.
• A hairdryer with diffuser attachment

 

What you might want: 

• Champagne 
• Some good girlfriends to help you get ready
• Your New Years Eve Playlist

 

Now you're ready to get styling!

 

1. The Slicked Back Pony Tail 

Effortless and dramatic, this sleek look is all about clean lines and bold vibes.

Style your curls with damp hair. Using a coin size amount of Cruise Control Curl Cream apply to your hair and brush through for even distribution. Next add a layer of POW Strong Hold Gel for maximum hold. Brush your products through and secure your hair with a tie - depending on your desired look, you can gather your hair up high, or down low. 

Smooth the sides down using Hold-It Shimmer Hairspray and a soft bristle brush (you can use a toothbrush if you don't have one). Once your hair is secured, give the ends a brush with your Flexi Brush and scrunch gently to encourage curl formation. 

Coily curls? Layer on some Chutzpah Volumising Foam for extra hold and definition. 

 

Why We Love It: This chic updo keeps your curls secure while letting you focus on the party, not your hair!

 

2. Wavy Low Bun

Soft and glam with delicate framing pieces, this style oozes sophistication and charm. Perfect for wavy hair types that ooze ‘beach babe’ vibes. 

On wet or damp hair, apply a coin size amount of Cruise Control Curl Cream for softness and Chutzpah Volumising Foam for definition. Gather your hair low at the nape of your neck for a sleek pony or twist it into a bun. 

Add some blingy accessories for that extra NYE sparkle. 

 

Why We Love It: It’s easy to create but looks like you spent hours perfecting it. What's not to love about that! 

 

3. Braided Crown (Wear It Up Or Down)

Feel like you've just stepped out of a Bridgerton scene with this timeless yet simple style. 

Prime your curls with Cruise Control and add Chutzpah Volumising Foam for volume. Use your Flexi Brush to evenly distribute the products and gently scrunch to encourage curl clumps. Add a drop of Hush Nourishing Oil to your hands, rub together and start weaving a loose braid around your crown. The Hush Oil will minimise any frizzy pieces as you go. Leave your curls loose at the nape for a relaxed vibe or pin them up for an extra touch of glam. 

 

Why We Love It: Add a sprinkle of sparkle or a glittery accessory, and you’re party-ready in no time! (It's also a really great style for windy and humid days when your hair is a bit unruly).

 

4. Our Top Pick! - Luxurious Volume

Show off your curls and unleash their full potential! Using the “Expand Your Curls” technique, inspired by our recent training session with curl guru Kindale Godbee, you can have BIG, bold and outrageously voluminous curls!

This 'max volume' style has become an absolute sensation this season! Popularised by the stunning Blake Lively in her role as Lily Bloom in the blockbuster film It Ends With Us, Blake wowed us all with her voluminous, natural curls that stole the show. Using the ‘Expand Your Curls’ technique you can recreate Blake's larger-than-life curls. 

On wet hair, start with Cruise Control to prime and define, then apply LOTS of Chutzpah Volumising Foam for big, bold definition (Jonina used about 30 pumps of Chutzpah when she recreated this style - so load up!). Finish with Hold-It Shimmer Hairspray to set your curls and keep them frizz-free all night.

 

Why We Love It: It’s the ultimate statement style - perfect for showing off your curls in a big way!

 

5. Half-Up, Half-Down High Pony

A mix of structured and loose curls, this playful style screams fun!

Once you've styled your curls as you normally would, gather the top section of your curls into a high ponytail, securing it with a scrunchie or soft hair tie. Feeling fancy? Wrap the pony into a bun for an alternative twist on this style. Add a little Hold-It Shimmer Hairspray to finish and you’re good to go!

 

Why We Love It: Perfect for when you can’t decide whether to keep your curls up or down—why not have both?
