@allisonmcnamaraSometimes a vibrant colour is the only thing your party hair needs. Whether you have dyed hair or are natural, use a colour conditioner to revive the glossiness.

@alyssainthecityShort fringes can be high-maintenance with the constant trims, but they are so chic. Wash your hair the morning of the party and blow-dry with the concentration nozzle facing down to seal the cuticle of your strands for shine.

@amagodson_aThis kind of shine needs to be seen by a room full of people. Fake this glossy blow-dry with a good hair dryer and a ceramic round brush for ultimate shine. Make sure you rough-dry first, though.

@brosiaaaThe waves are laid. If you have a low cut, pre-party, make sure you have applied your holding product, and keep your do-rag or scarf on until you’re ready to leave to give your waves enough time to set.

@cassdimiccoHalf up, half down styles are so timeless and fun. They’re the perfect option for second- or third-day hair that has a bit of grit to it.

@ciaracheriseNot for beginners but a braided bun is an easy and impressive way to pull your look together if you can plait. Make sure your hair is moisturised before you start to create slip as you braid.

@slipintostyleFluff out your texture with a pick, and spray on a light oil to lock in hydration

@emilisindlevShine spray will be your best friend for a look like this. It’s best suited to day-two hair for a bit of extra texture.
