Ready to commit to your resolution of hot hair starting in 2011? Don't wait for the clock to strike midnight, get a leg up (or in this case, a brush up) on your resolution to try a new hairstyle a month by sporting this sexy and ridiculously easy, messy updo to your New Year's Eve party. Edward Tricomi of the Warren-Tricomi Salon tells you how to nail the look below. And P.S. If you don't have someone to kiss at midnight, this updo might just land you a new boyfriend to go along with your new hairstyle.

Holiday hair doesn't have to be sleek and smooth, says Tricomi. Break the rules with this tousled look. Start by spraying a volumizing spray on damp hair at the roots and hairline before blow-drying. Next, use a barrel curling iron to create loose waves, shaking them out to create texture. Twist small sections of the hair in the front and pull them back, or to the side like Lauren Conrad here, securing with bobby pins. Do the same with pieces in the back, without making it too symmetrical or perfect. Last, finish with a flexible hold hairspray to hold all night.

Just in case you do find yourself counting down next to a particularly handsome partygoer, make sure your pout is make out ready with these lip moisturizers. Happy New Year!
