CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Oxana Mak Fols joins QC Life to share the top hair trends for 2026 and reassure viewers that New Year’s hair doesn’t have to be stressful.
Borrowing from a European belief that how you welcome the New Year sets the tone for the year, Oxana says this season favors simple, polished looks you can create in minutes.
Her go-to recommendations: keep it sleek. Clean styles like brushed-back ponytails and low buns work for almost everyone and add pearls, gold pins, or sparkly clips to elevate the look.
Pro tip: spray hairspray first, then attach accessories so they stay put; if roots are showing, smooth a bit of strong-hold gel mixed with shimmer along the hairline for instant high-fashion polish.
If you want more texture, try a few small braids, press them with a flat iron (always use heat protectant first), then unbraid, comb back, and finish with sparkly hairspray and a few accents.
