    Having trouble deciding how to do your 'do this New Year's Eve? As they say, out with the old and in with the new! Here are five sexy styles that will help you celebrate the past year and kick off 2010!

    1. Sport tiny braids. Worn by the likes of Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie, this style is not only young and sexy, but it's also super simple. Get the step-by-step instructions here.




    2. Classic waves are feminine and festive. Boost your glam-factor and add some holiday sparkle with a bold red lip or a fun hair accessory. Check out our guide for getting your wave on here.



    3. A sleek ponytail is sophisticated and stylish. Its simplicity also allows you to play up your makeup, so take your look to the next level with some bold eyeshadow and a classic lip. Get the full sleek ponytail how-to here.




    4. Can't decide between an updo and long, loose hair? Get the best of both worlds with a sexy half-up style. It's classic, easy and tres, tres chic!




    5. Try an "undone" updo like a chignon. Start by dividing your hair into three sections, pulling the middle section into a low bun and twisting and pinning the other two sections around it. Crisscross the remaining sections around the bun and pin down the ends or let them splay out a bit (it's okay if it looks a tad messy).
