If you’re anything like us, by the end of the week, your hair has seen its fair share of top knots, socks buns and basic ponytails. Once Friday night rolls around, your tresses (and underused styling tools) yearn for something new. Long and flowing or short and sweet–no matter the length of your locks, we searched high and low to bring you hairspiration worthy of the eventful evenings ahead.

Short Hair Edgy Pixie

Sleek and smooth is great for daytime, but for your next bash, go bold with a structured pixie.

Short Relaxed Texture

Short hair offers ample opportunity to play with texture. Shake things up with these (super easy) loose finger waves. (No curling iron required!)

Shoulder Length and Long Hair Bodified Blowout

A well-executed blowout with lift at the roots and fullness at the ends will always be a do. The bigger the volume the better the night!

Curly Side Ponytail

Think a pony is so not party worthy? Think again. When it’s twisted and curled, a side ponytail is the perfect way to add flare to any flirty frock.

Double Fishtail Braid

A fishtail braid on a Friday night? Make ours a double. Just braid as you normally would, once you get about halfway down halfway down tie it off, and start again. But to turn heads at your next soiree, clip in a colored hair extension before you start braiding.

What’s your go-to party ‘do? Let us know in the comments.
