Bobby Pinned Hair

Lindsay Baker

This look may seem complicated, but it's fairly easy play on bobby-pin hair art with maximum hold says Lindsay Baker, advanced creative director for Toni & Guy. “Wear hair down and still keep your style intact until the last glass of champagne on New Year’s Eve," he says. To get the look, first brush hair smooth with a boar bristle brush and spray with Tigi Bed Head Masterpiece hairspray for extra hold and shine. Put a large clip where the focal point of your style will be, then place bobby pins in a design to show off bobby pin hair art.

Slicked Back Hair

A look that's sleek on the top and rougher on the bottom is an unexpected twist on a classic New Year’s Eve style. “Create volume at the ends by curling, separating, and teasing hair,” says Jade Munoz, a Toni & Guy Academy student. “Next, garnish the look by creating definition to the hairline.”
