As we approach the New Year, many of us find ourselves rummaging through our wardrobes, searching for that perfect outfit—something cute yet comfortable enough to enjoy a few appetizers and drinks. While sequins and shine are traditional party favorites, have you considered making your hair the standout feature of your New Year’s Eve look?
Hair stylists have always been our allies in beauty, but this year they are introducing something more eye-catching than ever before: glitter highlights. Forget the notion that mermaid hair was the pinnacle of whimsical hair trends; glitter highlights, or “glitterage,” are here to transform your locks into a dazzling spectacle. This technique involves applying glitter by hand, much like traditional highlights or balayage, ensuring a unique and stunning finish.
Unfortunately, glitterage is a temporary delight, lasting only a few washes. Much like Cinderella’s magical evening, you’ll enjoy a night of glamour, but by morning—assuming you’ve showered—you’re back to your usual messy bun and cozy loungewear. Nevertheless, the glitz is definitely worth it, even for just one night.
If you have a salon appointment lined up this week, why not opt for something different? Instead of the usual trim, consider adding glitter highlights to your hair. Unlike those bangs you’ve been contemplating, glitter is a choice you’ll always cherish. Imagine how festive your New Year’s Eve photos could turn out!
If securing a salon appointment feels as challenging as finding Hamilton tickets in December, don’t worry! You can still shine brighter than anyone else. Channel your inner middle schooler and grab a can of glitter hairspray—just remember to do this outdoors unless you’re ready to give your bathroom a sparkly makeover. Alternatively, you can mix some glitter with hair gel from your craft supplies; perfection isn’t necessary, just a good dose of sparkle will do.
After a night of feeling like a pop star, you can easily wash away the glitter and return to your everyday hairstyle. The memories and photos will remain, making it all worthwhile.
