New Years Eve can be a long night and from experience, I know that a style that lasts is almost as important as your dress. I picked out this style for that very reason.

Hair should be about shoulder length with layers added for lots of movement. The style you are aiming for is smooth and glossy with a flirtatious little flip on the end. Here's how to style it.

Updo's That Definitely Belong
Need I say more? These updo's definitely belong in this category.

Sunburst
All of that orange... that's what this style reminded me of!

Cyndi Lauper
Cyndi has to be the queen of hairstyles. I don't think I ever saw her with the same color or style more than once.

Who Would Have Thought
It didn't look strange to me in the 80's, but these styles certainly look strange now.

It's All in the Bangs
These two styles wouldn't be so unusual if it wasn't for the unusual treatment of the bangs. They almost remind me of pixies...

Stepping Back in Time
The photo on the right caught my eye. This just might make a comeback.

Is That a HairBow?
While both of these styles are unusual, the one on the right is even more so. It looks as if her hair has been swept up to resemble a giant hairbow.

Another One
I'm not sure what caught my eye first, those two huge curls on her forehead or the red eyemakeup.

What Do I Call This One?
I have no idea what to call it, and I haven't a clue how they got the hair to stay that way.

Actually the style on the left, I kind of like. The other style, well... it's definitely unusual.
