Party Hair Styles for 2009

Parties are the perfect excuse to go mad with the hair – unless of course it is a corporate party with your new boss, but even then Sedu will do wonders for giving the right impression.

Adding clips and other accessories will always brighten up any hairstyle. This section looks at how to use them and how to use Sedu to give perfect party hair every time.

Party hair can be made interesting by adding flicks and curls to the hair. We've already talked about how to add curls with the celeb hairstyles featured earlier. Adding flicks is even easier.

Shoulder length or shorter hair with long layers is great for this style.

1. Blow dry the hair using a volumising lotion to give it plenty of body (unless the hair is particularly thick, in which case, a good, straight blow dry with a heat protective lotion will suffice).

2. After it has cooled, pin the top layers on top of the head and straighten the lower layers, curling the irons out at the ends to give the flick.

3. Then repeat with the upper layers.

4. Either try and get a uniform flick all around, or do it in small sections with varying flicks.

An alternative for hair that is all the same length is to blow dry with a large amount of body and then use the irons on the lower parts to bend it all together, making one large flick around the bottom of the hair, reminiscent of the styles of the sixties. The braver you are, the larger the flick can be!

Finish with a mist of hairspray, or use wax on the ends to give it an edgier feel still.
