Welcome to Your Party-Hair Era

By Chloe Metzger, December 8, 2022, Cosmopolitan

Behold: The party hairstyle for procrastinators everywhere (welcome, this is a safe space). If you’re the person who has, like, the best of intentions, who totally meant to watch a few YouTube hair tutorials and practice their cat eye before tonight’s holiday party, and who definitely didn’t mean to start getting ready 30 minutes before they need to call an Uber, then this hairstyle is for you. Because…it’s not a hairstyle. It requires no skill. It’s all about the veil-headband combo, which—when paired with bright-red lipstick and a 10/10 fit, looks both retro and modern.

Throw your hair into a messy bun, French-braid it back, or twist it and secure it with a claw clip. The look doesn’t really matter (and your makeup doesn’t really either) as long as you’ve got the veil.
