New year, new hair! Planning to get a haircut this year? What about a new hair colour? A new perm? Whatever it is you want to try this year in terms of hairstyles, we can’t wait to support you in your choice!

Let’s check out what our folks at Instagram are preparing for their new year hairstyles 2019, shall we?

Black Ribbon (@anastasiya_kokoulina)

This girl is rocking some dark and serious vibes this new year but we’re absolutely loving it! The black ribbon contrasts excellently with her blonde hair too, adding to the deliciously dark ambiance of the entire photo. Want hair like this? Take a look at the ZALA Hair Extensions!

Marilyn Monroe (@mangelesquintana)

Are my eyes deceiving me? This isn’t Marilyn Monroe, is it? This girl is doing some amazing channeling of the classic American beauty, right from the bright blonde hair down to the bold red lips. I think I’d love to welcome new year looking like this too, though. Feel the female empowerment oozing from this photo!

Flower Hair @salongcosmo

This hairstyle is simply gorgeous. Just a halo braid and curls would’ve done the trick, but the flower clip is genius! I would definitely wear this for a lovely night out with my partner, no questions asked. If you’re more of a hopeless romantic, you should definitely add this to your options on what to wear this new year. Love the color? Check out ZALA Dark Choco Brown Hair Extensions!

Messy Bun @iulia_mculin

Messy buns are the perfect way to look put together and yet laid back at the same time, if you know what I mean. It’s definitely a more relaxed hairstyle than tight, well-combed buns, that’s for sure! Regardless, the way her highlights are swirled around her strands looks totally lovely.

Braided Pigtails @atea_beauty

This is one cuuute hairstyle! I’m personally a huge fan of braided hairstyles and I can’t get enough of them (as I’m sure I’ve said many times in this blog). The effect of her ombre hair certainly added to the unique charm and appeal of this specific style. If you’re looking for a playful and fun look to celebrate new year with, this should definitely be it.

Shine Bright @leesquared18

Can I just emphasize how absolutely, totally, 100% jealous I am of this girl’s hair!? Everything about it just screams perfection. I have so many questions, seriously. But well, shine bright like a diamond this 2019 with this new year hairstyle, I guess! Oh, and if you like this color, you’ll also love this ZALA Caramel Hair Extensions!

Precious Pink @brandiatpasha

Been quite a braveheart this 2018? Bring that boldness with you to 2019 with this bold but ultra chic look. You don’t even have to choose pink–other colors will do. Definitely a fun hair color you should try out at least once in your life!

Hazelnut Hair @lovely_tiffany

These waves are just amazing! We’re in love with the way it cascades over her shoulder, like waves on a calm shore. For a similar look, we’ve got the ZALA Chestnut Brown Hair Extensions. A different kind of nut maybe, but a nut nonetheless!

Reindeer Hair @el_lena

To end this list, here’s this awesome photo featuring Santa’s reindeers and bonus Christmas lights. It may be a little bit late to the Christmas party, but it’s still a fun year-ender hairstyle to brighten up the whole room with! Now, where’s our reindeer at?

We hope you enjoyed this list of new year hairstyles 2019! What about you, what are you wearing this new year? Share it with us in the comments below!

How To Wear Holiday Waves + Hairstyle Examples!

Holidays are the perfect time to show off a lovely new ‘do, with all the parties and events that you’ll surely be attending! Get into the festive season by donning beach waves for the holidays. Not to mention, you can easily add accessories to your hair and you’re all set, avoiding all the hustle and bustle around.

To help you out, here’s a quick guide on how you can wear holiday waves this season!

How to wear holiday waves

There are many ways to get the perfect holiday waves this festive season, but our favorite way is by using the ZALA 4-in-1 Cosmo Curling Wand! It uses clipless curling wands and is extremely easy to use, even for beginners.

Not to mention, it’s safe to use for your hair extensions as well, if you want to add a bit more length to your hair this season. What more could we possibly ask for, right?

Holiday Waves Hairstyles

Now that you know how to make your hair wavy for the holidays, it’s time for some real world hairstyle examples to get inspiration from! Take note that these are all easy to do, especially with our very own ZALA Hair Extensions!

White Christmas

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas just like the ones I used to know~ We’ve already talked before about how ice-white hair can add an exotic vibe to your look. If platinum blonde hair can’t put you in a festive mood this holiday season, we don’t know what will.

Christmas Curls

We really love this simple hairstyle for Christmas! It’s amazing how waves and a half-pigtail can make such a difference, no? You can actually pull off this look regardless of what hair color you have–it’s still going to look super playful and fun!

Dark Choco Holiday

You know what’s good during the cold season? A cup of delicious hot chocolate, that’s what! This hairstyle is just as good, especially when paired with a sleek and sexy outfit to match! But take note that for this type of wave, remember not to twirl your locks too tightly around the curling wand.

Bronzed Babe

Have you seen our Dirty Blonde Hair Extensions yet? If the answer is no then you should definitely check them out! For a perfect example of what you can do with them, just take a look at this hairstyle right here. Don’t you feel a little bit more cheerful and in the holiday mood just by seeing this?!

Wavy Half-Ponytail

We’re totally, absolutely, positively in love with this gorgeous holiday waves hairstyle! It’s the perfect blend of light brown and dark blonde. Plus, that special half-ponytail ‘do is 100% lovely. If you want to add a more feminine touch to your waves this holiday, this is definitely the look to go for!

Holiday Hair – The Perfect Hairstyles For December ft. Kayley Melissa

Ho-ho-ho, happy holidays!

It’s finally the merriest time of the year! We’re talking family reunions, end-of-the-year parties, Christmas dinners, and all sorts of other merriment! While you’re shopping for gifts and holiday outfits, perhaps it’s time to turn your eyes to something equally as important but less noticed: holiday hairstyles!

Thankfully, here are some of the best ideas for holiday hair, a.k.a. the perfect hairstyles for December, as seen on Kayley Melissa’s YouTube channel!

Note: All hairstyles and video belong to Kayley Melissa.

White Elephant Party Holiday Hair

This hairstyle is very casual and very simple to prepare–in fact, you’re only going to need 2 minutes tops! Perfect for the holiday season when everyone seems to be rushing pretty much everywhere.

Take two small sections of your hair on either side. Pull them to the back of your head and secure with an elastic.
Grab some extra hair and tie that into a loop with a knot. Feel free to curl the ends of your hair for a more ‘oomph’ factor!

Seeing Christmas Lights Holiday Hair

This hairstyle is a bit more complex than the last, but it’s one of our favorites: braids! We all love good braids and we can’t get enough of them, especially this holiday season!

Split your hair in half and dutch-braid each side.
Loop both braids into a tight (or loose, depending on your preference) bun. Make sure to tuck the ends and any other extra hair underneath the bun!
Add some final touches and you’re done!

Tacky Sweater Party

This one is one of the best holiday hair we’ve ever seen, especially with those accessories added in! It certainly makes for a fun hairstyle and we can’t wait to wear this look on our next holiday party!

Gather all your hair and make a top knot.
Wrap your hair around the knot to create a bun of sorts.
Get some holiday-themed accessories like colorful bows to decorate your hair with. Use a bobby pin to attach them and voila, you’re done!

Celebrity Hairstyles: Ariana Grande Short Hair

Ariana Grande is one of the most prominent celebrities in the international music world, making it no shocker to see her every little life decision plastered all over news sites. This includes the most random things like her lovelife, her favorite hobbies, and even her change of hairstyles!

The pop star has recently posted a few photos with short hair on her Instagram, ditching her longtime ponytail look to the surprise of her many adoring fans. After all, for years Ari had sported the same hairstyle. With a few minor changes here and there, sure. And we’ve seen some quick restyles throughout the years, but nothing major.

Now, it’s time for a big change – the Ariana Grande short hair, as we call it!

Just look at the photo below for proof!

The Ariana Grande Short Hair

Just like many of her fans, we’re going to miss the ponytail and the long hair, of course, but we can’t deny that Ari just looks totally cute in her new Ariana Grande short hair! Agree? Agree!

Rumour has it that it’s her broken engagement that caused the new hairstyle, but other sources are claiming that it’s for an upcoming role. Only Ari knows. But whatever the reason may be, all we can say is that if there’s anyone who can rock any hairstyle, it’s probably Ari. Those 5M+ favourites on her IG post just says exactly what we’re all thinking!

Get the look with ZALA Hair Extensions

If you want to get her look (we sure do!), all you need is the ZALA 12″ Hair Extensions in Chestnut Brown or Cinnamon. You can even choose from the full range of 12″ Hair Extensions if you don’t want to be limited by these colours. We have a variety of colours for you to choose from – blonde, black, brunette; name it and we’ve got it!
