Night out hair styles for 2011

20 January 2011

Are you bored with leaving your hair down and bored of not having anything to do with it? Look no further as we have some simple but stylish hair ideas that will have you looking the belle of any ball.

The quiff is a hair style that is never out of fashion and if you have an inner rock chick then this is the perfect way to let her out.

The more hair from the front you scrape back for this the more impact your quiff will make - do a little back combing and light hairspraying and then fix in place with grips and you're left with this edgy, but surprising dressy hair. You've found yourself a head turning hair style.

The soft curl is under-rated. It adds volume to any hair type or length and if you're careful with it - you can achieve casual class with minimal effort. The trick to soft curls is to only curl the lower sections of the hair, leaving the top with only a little bounce. This means that the style isn't full on and you're not going to be left with a night of checking and hairspraying all over your head.

Make the curl loose to start with and then using a holding cream to lightly scrunch the bottom of the curls so they can withhold a night of boogie-ing with the girls. Here Kate Hudson (left) and Blake Lively (right) show that no matter your hair length the soft curl could be the one for you.

The high bun is complete class. It adds elegance to any evening wear and if you're attending a formal function or a romantic dinner date this is definitely the one to get the heads turning.
Firstly scape all your hair back neatly into a hair ponytail and then slip the hair through a doughnut ring. Pull all your hair neatly around until the shape is completely covered and then grip in place.

Sit it high and proud on your head like J-Lo here and it will ooze extra height and confidence. All you need now is a dress to go with it!

The more hair from the front you scrape back for this the more impact your quiff will make as does Natasha Beddingfield's - do a little back combing and light hairspraying and then fix in place with grips and you're left with this edgy, but surprising dressy hair. You've found yourself a head turning hair style.

Straight hair seems to be getting a slamming this season, why? If worn properly there is no reason why it can't make hair look sleek, stylish and sophisticated (plus there are some that feel more confident with the aid of a straightener as their hair is lion mane-esque without them). So here we have the perfect solution. Straighten that hair and scrape it back neatly into a ponytail high-ish at the back of your head. It's smart, simple and sexy and can be glammed up with long eyelashes and eyeliner or even a cheeky hair accessory. Gwenyth Paltrow show's us how its done.

We've not forgotten about you short haired gals either...Look no further than Dannii Minogue for inspiration. She has more hairstyles than she's had hot dinners and each looks more amazing than the last.
