What works for you depends on your personality and patience. Does this Spark an idea?

Down

One of the easiest ways to style your hair is to leave it down, a party hairstyle that a number of prominent celebrities seem to dig. Still, if you're going to a party, this will require more than just a shower and a blow-dry. Try adding some product to give your hair volume if you have curly or wavy hair, parting it at the side, and using a curling iron or brush to adjust curl in specific locations. If you're going for a straight look, using a straightener will go a long way to removing frizz and unwanted creases. Keep in mind that, while it may be easy to style hair while it's down, it's more difficult to keep hair in place throughout the life of a party, particularly if you plan to dance or move around. Buy soft but effective hairspray to keep your coif from turning into a tangled mess.
Pulled Back
-
A girl going to a party where there will be a lot of activity might want to pull her hair back and out of her face. Small or French braids, classic ponytails and side braids can all work to give a girl a touch of elegance even while she's keeping her hair contained and out of her face. Just be sure to fasten hair-ties securely so your hairstyle will stay despite movement.

Up-Do
-
Girls going to more formal events should consider an up-do. Typically seen at school dances, proms and weddings, this look generally involves putting hair into a ponytail and twisting it upward, so that hair stays twisted and secure against the top part of the head. Elegant buns, intricate coils, and even crimped twists all use this same idea to create an attention-grabbing look, though these often require a number of hair-styling tools and a decent amount of time to do correctly. Consider hiring a stylist if you're going for all but the most basic up-do.
Eye-Catching Combinations
-
Another trend is combining different kinds of hairstyles. A side-braid wrapped around a hair that is wavy and left down, skinny braids mixed in with pin-straight hair, or messy and curly ponytails that are not quite up, not quite down. All of these looks can work for parties so long as you relax and have fun. Feel free to experiment with different looks and to throw in a couple of accessories like barrettes, sparkles or ever colored hair extensions for a touch of flair that matches your outfit and the attitude of an energetic party.
