A simple chignon or roll-up style can be instantly transformed into party hair with the addition of a glittery comb (such as this Jennifer Behr piece) as a stunning accent. To create a roll up style like the one above, use an ingenious flexible hair tool like "The Half Up" from Ulta. It's a strong foam base with a slit in the middle that allows you to lock and roll your hair into a gorgeous style. The Half Up base will be completely hidden and covered by your hair when you're done.

It doesn't get any easier than a ponytail! For special events, use a texture product like Tecni.Art Volume Envy to give your hair extra body, and then sweep it to the side and secure into a loose ponytail. Embellish with sparkly hair ornaments and you've got instant glam.

Add sparkle to a basic bun or top knot by adding a glittery band. This is an easy way to get an elegant look in less than 10 minutes.
TIPS FOR HOLIDAY STYLING SUCCESS:Most holiday hair styles work best when your hair has a little texture and grip. Here are a few ways to add texture to your hair so that it stays put once styled:
- Create texture with dry shampoo. Use a product like L’Oreal Fresh Dust applied at the roots to give your hair body and grip.
- Work with hair that has been wash the day before, not the day of, your event. Next day hair has grip which is essential for updos and other styles where every strand needs to stay in place without slipping.
- Use a thickening primer such as L’Oreal Tecni.Art Densite or Tecni.Art Volume Envy mousse. Both of these products are salon favorites, and they work well for giving hair volume and thickness.
- Finish with a professional spray such as L’Oreal Infinium 3 for lasting hold.
