Look effortlessly chic with these 7 no-comb hairstyles for Chinese New Year

Make It Wavy

1/7

If you have short to medium length hair that’s not stick straight, then you definitely should try this out. Just lift sections of your hair and spray some texturising spray or powder underneath from roots to ends.

Then massage it in and rough up your locks to give it shape and volume for an edgier look. If it starts to look flat because of the humidity, just lift and scrunch up your hair throughout the day.

Plait It

No comb? No problem. Just plait your hair and you’re good to go. You can go the good girl route and plait your entire head, or do something more adventurous and fun like Olivia Palermo – just plait the sides of your hair to create an Instagram-worthy undone-done look.

Haven’t you heard? Scrunchies are back and bigger than ever. These fun accessories will keep your hair off your face – perfect for visiting relatives in Singapore’s sweltering heat – and gives you a girly appeal.

Keep it festive by ditching plain, monotone ones and go with patterned scrunchies instead.

The Extreme Side Part

4/7

Great for women with long bangs, this is perfect for when you need to go straight from bed to your first CNY visit. Just use your fingers to part your hair, using the highest point of your eyebrows as a reference.

It gives you instant volume and looks effortlessly chic. To keep the look fresh, apply dry shampoo on your roots and fluff up your strands.

The Low Ponytail

5/7

Black Pink’s Jennie is the queen of low-key glam, and her easy to create messy low ponytail is a classic example. Just run your fingers from the top of your hair and gather your hair near the base of your head before tying it up. And here’s a little tip: to prevent hair from looking too flat, wash it the night before instead of the day of.

The Messy Bun

6/7

Everyone’s favourite over-achieving Asian Eva Chen is known for her fuss-free yet fashion-forward looks, and we are all about this messy top knot she’s rocking.

The great thing about it is that the style works best when it’s not perfect. Strands poking out at weird angles? No worries. Slightly slanted to the right? It looks even cuter. And if you want your bun to look bigger, use a scrunchie instead of a regular rubber band.

We Like Big Bands And We Cannot Lie

7/7

Hair bands, we mean. It’s not an exaggeration when we say that thick hair bands are literally everywhere now. Everyone from It girls to socialites like Rich Kids of Beverly Hills cast member Roxy Sowlaty are rocking the trend.

And it is literally the easiest look to do. Just pop it on your head – it doesn’t matter what your hair length, style or cleanliness level is – and you’re good to go. And this is one of those times that matchy-matchy actually works, so make sure your hair band goes with your outfit!
