Look, we know this Christmas might not be what we all expected or hoped for. Many of us are scaling back due to the Omicron variant, and to protect our loved ones. But, that doesn’t mean all hope is lost. And at the end of the year, maybe we need, no… deserve some real glam, and New Year’s Eve is the time to do it. 

If you are short on vision, energy (who isn’t feeling a little festive burnout?) or inspo, then look no further. Celebrity hairstyles are a great source of inspiration for your festive hair fix, and 2021 has not fallen short with famous faces providing us multiple hairstyles to recreate. 

Ranging from Maya Jama (who can do no wrong in the style department) and her super sexy pony to Margot Robbie’s vintage twist, we’re up for trying these out at home this NYE. 

Here are some of our celeb faves…

Beyoncé’s slicked-back pony

Beyoncé has nailed party glam with this sleek ponytail complete with framing pieces for her face – something easy to achieve at home or in the salon.

Nina Dobrev’s bob cut 

Bobs are super easy to style, and the straightened option that Nina has opted for is sleek and easy to achieve.

Maya Jama’s messy ponytail

Maya Jama has encompassed effortless elegance in this messy updo, which is easily replicated by roughly combing your hair up with your fingers and securing it with a hair tie.

A low pony is a classic hairstyle and perfect for that effortless look. Jazz it up with a piece of your hair wrapped to hide your hair tie to give it that sleek look.

Selena Gomez’s half-up half-down flower
