In the perfect world, every woman could go all out for every party she’s invited to attend. In the real world, that isn’t always possible. Sometimes life simply doesn’t give us the time or the resources to pay for an outfit, shoes, make-up, and hair.

For the social butterfly, heading to a salon every time you’re invited to a party may not be realistic. When you look at the amount of time spent in the hair salon, you may cringe and opt to do your own hair.

There are plenty of easy party hairstyles to choose from so you’re looking your best.

If you’re a busy woman looking for hair options, keep reading for these five easy hairstyle tips.

1. Long and Sexy Easy Party Hairstyles

Having long, healthy hair is a blessing. Coming up with sexy hairstyles for a party doesn’t take much imagination.

Brush your hair back off your face. Use decorative hair pins to hold the hair down and hanging your back. If you don’t have any bedazzled hairpin on hand, create some bobby pin art with basic hairpins.

2. Create a Classy Bun

With this hairstyle, you can be simple but classy. Brush the hair backward and divide into two sections. Twist the two sides together and then wrap the hair into a bun.

Using bobby pins secure the bun to the back of your head. Give your hairdo a sexy twist and shift the bun to either side.

For a dramatic effect and for added security, place a diamond-studded come into the bun. Another idea is to add a flower to the front of the bun and allow it to rest above the ear.

3.  Allow the Hair to Hang Free

If you know you’re going to party the night away, it doesn’t make sense to put too much time and effort into the hair. Parties are for dancing and having a good time.

For easy party hairstyles for medium hair, first shampoo and condition. Blow the hair out with a hot air brush. Use a curling iron to add curls and additional volume.

4. Halo Braids Are Classic

Halo braids are classic, cute party hairstyles. You may need a friend to help you with this classic hairstyle. If you need help, simply Google Halo braids for tips on how to perfect the look.

5. Wear a Wig

Who says a party hairdo has to be your own hair? There are so many stylish wigs on the market, why not keep a few in the closet.

With wigs, you can go from being a brunette to a blond in a matter of seconds. Wigs also give great versatility in style and length.
