6 sparkling hair accessories to wear this New Year’s Eve

Christmas party season is almost upon us, which means the countdown to 2022 can really begin. Ringing in the New Year is a huge event for many of us, particularly considering the rather awful couple of years we’ve had as a nation due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Like any occasion wear, finishing your New Year’s Eve look to perfection all comes down to how you accessorise, and this season it’s all about the sparkle.

Your choice of hair accessories can enhance your outfit no-end, which is why we thought now would be the perfect time to share the top sparkling hair accessories of the season…

1. Shine like the stars

This fun and unforgettable headband from BelleepoqueCo offers a winning party look, whatever the season. Adorned with sparkling stars, it’s the perfect hair accessory for your office party, Christmas day or New Year’s Eve.

2. See you later 2021

For party goers wanting to be a tad more literal with their headband choice, this Laters 2021 headband from ASOS Design is the perfect hair accessory.

The shaped band makes for a comfortable fit, whatever your head shape or hairstyle. Simply slide into your style to finish your signature New Year’s Eve look.

3. All that glitters

Glitter roots have been a popular trend on the festival scene for a number of years now, and the style is back, and bigger and bolder than ever for New Year’s Eve.

Great for updos, half up half down styles, curled wigs, and free flowing locks, glitter roots in a single colour, mixed shades, or classic silver or gold are perfect for parties. Who’s That Girl does a fantastic assorted glitter roots kit – available here at Hamleys – featuring a variety of colours, details and decorations.

Haircut Inspiration offers their advice on perfecting this season’s most sparkling trend:

“You can apply using a glitter eyeliner product directly onto the hairline, however, this is incredibly time consuming but for those who only want a subtle glitter look this would be an easy application. On the other hand, for those who would like a more dramatic glitter look you will need hair gel, your favourite loose cosmetic glitter product and a palette to mix the two together.”

4. Just add a few sequins

For those looking to go wig free this New Year’s Eve, our Anna Hat Cream & Purple Sequin Wrap by Hair World is a subtly sparkling hair accessory that no self-respecting party goer should be without.

As well as getting more casual looks party ready, this sequin wrap and hat combo is super easy and comfortable to wear. All you have to do is use the design’s Velcro adjusters to secure around your head.

5. A bow-tiful party accessory

Add a cute bow to your party look with this design from Littlesparklesbtique. The hair bow is handmade from glitter fabric and suede, and also features a clay embellishment to ensure a look that’s oh-so-you.

6. Treat yourself to a designer look

Featuring clear crystals in a rhodium plated setting, this hair clip set from Swarovski is an elegant look that you can wear again and again long after New Year’s Eve has been and gone.

Featuring three different star shaped designs, this playful hair set can be mixed and matched, or worn solo.
