Styling your hair for a night out needs to be easy, simple and effective. You've already got a lot on by deciding what to wear and how to have your make-up, right? Here are seven stunning ideas for hair that'll wow!

1. The high pony

We're taking inspiration from the queen of changing up her hair, Rihanna! Here she is at the Christian Dior Cruise 2015 show and it's one of my favourite looks of hers, she just looks so pretty! I love the high wavy pony and it's not too harsh and pulled back like your standard high pony is, it's super soft and relaxed. Keeping your hair in a simple minimal style is perfect for showing off your outfit to its full potential!

2. Sleek & sharp

Celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkin gave Kendall Jenner the chop with her new look and we're loving it. This is a perfect, no-nonsense night out hair style that will take you from bar to bar with a swish of your shiny locks. Make sure you're using frizz-protecting serum such as the Mizani by L'Oreal Thermasmooth Smooth Guard Serum to keep that shine locked in all night.

3. The strong wave

Jen Atkin is a force to be reckoned with when she's got herself a pair of new scissors! She also snipped Chrissy Teigen's long locks and created this amazing wavy style. This is perfect for girls with natural wavy and curly hair as it'll be seriously easy to do.

But it's still easy to create for the straight-haired girls out there. Sleep with your hair slightly damp overnight in chunky braids and then use a load of texturising spray such as the Tigi Catwalk Salt Spray the next day to keep the style in place.

4. The straight pony

Elyse Knowles rocked the sleek and styled straight pony at the Myer Autumn-Winter Fashion Show red carpet. Get her look by making sure your hair is as straight and sleek as it can be with stylers from ghd!

5. Cornrows with a twist

By keeping your hair sleek and back from your face you're making way for some serious accessories game. Try a striking ear cuff or statement necklace to really turn heads.

We love these picks from ASOS, the Orelia large crystal stone ear cuff and Johnny Loves Rosie black stone ear cuff really make statements and this ASOS crystal ball ear cuff is a minimalist-chic way of nailing the trend.

6. Halo braids

Braids and plaits are the perfect way of organising your crazy hair if it's just not doing what it's told! Pile everything into a braid and you've got a gorgeous style with just a touch of effort.
