Here we are, another new year right around the corner. It seems like every year we’re all looking up New Year’s hairstyles, in hopes that we’ll finally try something new with our hair, only to revert back to the same easy hairstyles.
It’s time to switch up the style from our every day, and make a statement.
Nothing screams stagnant energy like alternating between the few minimal effort hairstyles for the last year (dare I say last few years?).
When I say it’s time to let go of the messy bun, I mean it. Just because it’s your security blanket hairstyle, does not mean it needs to go out with you to every event. Add some spice to your pony tail. And tell the bed head to kick rocks. Frizz has a time and a place, and it’s not here.
The Significance of ’23
Twenty-three signifies change, progress, and innovation. This number is said to hold good energy for personal development and spiritual growth.
How fitting!
Additionally, the year 2023 is considered a personal 7 year. A year of diving inward, building up our self confidence, finding our creativity, heightening intuition, and working on who we are -and who we want to become- as individuals.
New Year’s is the perfect night to reroute the stagnant energy in your life. Commit to transformation with new New Year’s hairstyles. And the only way we make room for new, is by releasing the old.
Here’s twenty-three New Year’s hairstyles to ring in your new year of transformation and spiritual growth:
1. Braided Space Buns
When in doubt, throw on some glitter. Who cares that it gets everywhere? Share your sparkle with the world!
2. Bubble Ponytail
Girl, it’s time. Elevate your boring ponytail this year. All you need are a few elastic hair bands and five minutes. Take out some pieces around your hairline to frame your face, and add some statement jewelry.
3. Elegant Waves
You can never go wrong with simple, elegant waves. Smooth down the sides to give the appearance of more volume at crown. You can tease for more height. Waves can be created with a hot tool, or heatless waves methods.
4. Hair Wraps
We love a protected crown chakra, especially if your energy levels have been feelin’ funky. Not to mention, adding some hoops will have you looking and feeling like a bad ass.
5. Side Braids
A deep side part with braids and voluminous waves. This style screams *Main Character Energy* of 2023.
6. Curly Bun
Satin Scrunchies. Face Framing Coils. Chic and Easy.
7. Hair Rings
If you like it, put a ring on it. Spice up any drab hairstyle with minimal effort for a maximum effect.
8. Pull Through Braids
Chunky Braids will forever be in style. Versatile. Voluminous. And can make a statement almost anywhere.
9. Half Up High Pony
Sleek. Snatched. Ready to Party.
10. Pigtails
If you want to give off the vibe that you’re here to have fun in 2023, pigtails are a fun way to bring life to any atmosphere (Baby Spice agrees). Color and braids are optional but highly encouraged.
11. Hair Cuffs
Dress up your space buns and ponytails with some cute hair jewelry!
12. Headbands
Add to any hairstyle to tie the whole look together. Headbands can make a statement by themselves.
13. Decorative Bobby Pins
Throw away the boring bobby pins. We’re serving looks in 2023!
14. Voluminous Blowout
Let 2023 know that you’re not here for the games. We’re getting intentional with our lives, just like this blowout.
15. Embrace Your Texture
Curls will be curls. Some days they’re here to shine, and other times you will question their motives. Either way, embrace your natural texture. Let the curls out. Fluff up your roots for more volume, or slick back the top half for a half up/ half down curly do.
16. Mermaid Waves
‘Cause who doesn’t love that effortless, tousled wave? Braid your hair while it’s damp if you’re trying to avoid heat. Unravel a few hours later or the next day.
17. Sleek and Straight
A classic ‘go-to’. Sleek hair for the New Year. Just make sure you use your heat protectant!
18. Crown Braid
This one is for the advanced queens! Go forth and be great.
19. Messy Top Knot
She’s cute, she’s not here for the drama, and she makes a statement without yelling over everyone at the party. And that’s the kind of energy we’re bringing into 2023.
20. Sleek Center-Parted Low Bun
Or side parted. Let the new year know, you’re ready for anything. This bun is not going anywhere and nothing is going to stand in your way.
21. Hair Tinsel
Talk about festive! Though, this will require a little bit more planning and would not be suggested for a last minute look.
22. High Ponytail
The sass, the volume, the length. A high pony is what every New Year needs. You can keep it short and cute, or add clip ins for length and volume. Wrap a piece of hair around the elastic to pull the look together!
23. Finger Waves
Nothing screams roaring 20’s like this retro chic style. No matter if you have short, medium or long hair, there is some variation of this you can pull off.
And there you have it. Twenty-three New Year’s hairstyles to ring in 2023 and continue throughout the year. Remember, this is the year of change, progress, and innovation. So, if you’re not overly skilled (or thrilled) with doing your own hair, now’s the best time to start and get in some practice. Wishing you all a prosperous, healthy and happy new year!
And here’s to not dropping the ball on our resolutions *chuckles in pun*.
