Hot Holiday Hairstyle Inspiration

Unless you are someone who loves to play around with her hair and is very good at it, I'm a big advocate for making an appointment at your hair salon and getting a professional blow-out for a holiday or New Year's party. Why? Trying to mimic a look you're after at home is a pain in the butt. For me, hiring someone who can see the back of my head is worth the $50 the typical blow-out costs.

These hairstyles should inspire you to pick the perfect look for your holiday party.
