15 Easy Chic Hairstyles To Impress Your Relatives This Chinese New Year
1. Half updo

Jazz up a half updo with a accent hair clip to add a touch of glam, especially with a faux pear clip or two.
The look also keeps long fringes away from the face, effectively enabling you to have an obstruction-free CNY cookie binge.

2. Side braid

Another fuss-free way to sweep up unruly fringes and to keep the hair off your face to let your make up shine, try the side braid that is perfect for both short and long hair.

Spritz a texturising spray to add some texture and hold to the hair before braiding.

3. Voluminous sleek pony tail

When the feasting begins, we know it’s serious business. This hairstyle has got you covered for both the gut and the glam.

The trick to nail down this look is to back comb your hair first before tying it into a low ponytail. Section off enough hair to wrap around the hair tie to secure that effortless sleek look.

4. Deep side-part

One easy way to change up your hair style is to do a deep side part. Create one from your usual parting or toss out your usual look with a deep side-part on the opposite side. Bring out the edgy woman in you with naturally tousled hair or the seductive siren with bouncy defined curls.

5. Braided bun

Up the ante with this hairstyle especially for reunion dinner. Combine a big side braid and a bun at the nape of the neck to achieve this put-together look. Bump up the drama with more hair spray to achieve an even more bouffant ‘do that will rival your tai tai aunt.

6. Low Braided Bun + Flowers

This stunning look is so easy to achieve – it features a side braid slung around a low bun and secured with bobby pins. Finish with bright orange flowers to match the festive mood! Click here for the full video tutorial.

7. Fun Bubble Ponytail
image

This fun-loving spin on the classic ponytail has been seen on both fashion runways and on the street, making it one of the season’s hottest hair trends. It’s playful and stylish, and really simple to do – all you need are a bunch of elastic bands (and hairspray to set the look, if you wish).

8. Romantic Crown Braid
image

Sweep all your hair up into an ultra-feminine and weightless crown braid. It might take a bit of practice but once you’ve mastered it, you won’t need to touch it for the rest of the day.

9. The Headband Tuck
image

It’s a red-carpet worthy hairstyle that’s been worn by celebs like Emily Blunt (read the tutorial here!), because it looks sophisticated and feminine but doesn’t take long to achieve.

10. Twisted Braid Updo
image

This hairstyle begins with by braiding your hair below your chin, which sounds confusing and odd but it actually works and saves you lots of time! It’s also great for those who find it hard to braid their own hair from the back of their head. Click here for the full video tutorial.

11. Get Low
image

Wrap a section of hair around the elastic band for a fanicer look, and give your ponytail some texture with the help of hairspray and a wide-toothed comb.

12. Decorated Low Ponytail

Altenatively, dress your ponytail with a metal barrette that adds some texture and shine to your ‘do. Make sure to get a clip that’s big enough to hold all your hair!

13. Pin-It-Through Bun

Functional, minimalist and modern – a metal pin is the contemporary version of wearing chopsticks in your hair!

14. Add A Ribbon To It

Elevate a ponytail with a Brigitte Bardot-inspired ribbon! It’s perfect for styling shorter to mid-length hair and doesn’t take more than a minute to do.

15. Swept-To-The-Side Braid

Keep the hair off your face by twisting your fringe away and then adding it to a side braid, securing with elastic bands.
