7 Fun & Chic Night Out Party Hairstyles

You don’t have to be going out to want to wear your hair with a little more polish than usual. Whether the occasion is date night dinner for two or you just fancy dressing up for Friday-night Zoom drinks with friends, a quick restyle can help make the event feel all the more special.

Whether you’re going out, or staying in, it’s time to make your look all about the hair with one of these quick-and-easy occasion-worthy hairstyles. And don’t be put off by the word occasion, thankfully many of the most wearable party do’s require little more than some expert tools and a little bit of know-how - find both below.

Party Hairstyles for Short Hair

Channel the iconic supermodels of the 90’s and those Robert Palmer girls with this super simple yet chic look. This one suits the short haired girls, as long as you have just enough hair to tie up. 

To get this gorgeous look, straighten hair and get a flawless base with the Frizz Defense Straightening Brush, then brush all back off the face and secure with an elastic. Add a little black dress and some red lipstick to complete, this one would be great for a last-minute event straight from work in the evening whern you won’t have long to get ready.

Easy Party Hairstyles for Medium Length Hair

Medium length hair doesn’t have to be boring, Katy Perry looks effortless like she hasn’t even tried here, in the best possible way. The key is to not go for an overly styled look, but still add some movement to give you that ultimate ‘I woke up like this’ feel. 

Try the Curl Secret Optimum on the most relaxed Natural setting, working through in small sections until all the hair has been waved. Spritz with a sea salt or texturizing spray, and pair with a bronzed, contoured look with highlighter for that summer glow. Add a crisp white silk shirt, jeans and bright heels. Issa vibe.

Glam Party Hairstyles for Long Hair

If you have long hair you always wear down, mix things up when you have a hot party to hit. First blow dry hair smooth with the Frizz Defense AC Salon Dryer then brush into a high pony. Once in a high pony, then you can choose  to plait locks or braid them into your fave style and finish with hairspray to hold. 

To finish this glam style, add a statement pair of earrings, a power suit with the blazer worn as a top and some smokey eye makeup. You’ll be fending them off like Shay Mitchell.

The 5-minute Party Hairstyle 

Quick-fix up-dos should be exactly that – easily thrown up and simply finished with all-important undone texture. If you find yourself regularly heading straight from work to dinner or to a bar, then you’ll be well acquainted with the 5-minute party hairstyle. Quick and easy, the textured updo is the reigning post-work hairstyle, requiring no tools and literally no time. 

Start by parting your hair from ear to ear using your fingers and pull the top half into a high ponytail, positioned at your crown. Then, secure the ponytail with a hair tie and mist texturizing spray over the entire length of your hair to add a bit of a kick and use your fingers like a comb to distribute the product evenly. Finish, by loosely bringing up the remaining strands of hair and secure around the ponytail with grips, creating a bun shape. The messier and more informal the result, the better.

Red Carpet Hairstyles

The ultimate red carpet style surely has to be Veronica Lake inspired, side parted waves. Try using the Nourishology 40mm Curler, then add shine spray when you’ve gone over all sections. Add a long silk gown and heels for a modern, barely there, straight from the bedroom look.

The Slick High Ponytail 

A slicked-back ponytail is one of the most chic and simple ways to transform everyday hair into something a little special. If you’re trying to stay away from overstyling, than this look is go-to, requiring little to no heat styling. To recreate at home, first tame any baby hairs by running the Frizz Defense Straightener  through the ends of hair to sharpen and smooth. Pro tip: you can skip this step, but it’s a small but effective touch that can elevate your style and give you a  fresh-from-the-salon appearance to your look. From there, smooth a hair oil from root to tip to tame frizz before dividing your hair into a sharp center parting with a tail comb and securing into a high and tight ponytail.
