D&D is a time to let loose, have fun and wild the night away with your colleagues!
It’s also a chance to ditch your 9 – 5 work attire for something more glamorous, doll yourself up and try new hairstyles you usually won’t be seen wearing to the office.
Check out these pretty hairstyles you can try out to make yourself look smashingly fabulous for this annual event.
1. Retro-tastic
This makeup and styling is available at 99 Percent Hair Studio @ Bugis Haji Lane
Everyone loves a good throwback party! Hence, it’s no surprise that retro-inspired themes are common among D&Ds.
Give your tresses a retro makeover by styling your hair into a chignon. There are various types of bun hairstyles you can wear to epitomize the vintage look you are going for, the classic beehive updo is perfect for a swinging 60′s look.
Adding in flowers to your hairstyle is also a great way to retro-fy your look and turn up looking like a true vintage beauty.
2. French Twist
This styling is available at COVO Hair Salon @ Keong Saik Rd
When looking for an elegant hairstyle, the classic French twist is your best bet. This chic and sophisticated look is not too hard to recreate if you wish to try it out yourself, and can even be done on short hair.
For a less prim and proper vibe, try a messy French twist and still look effortlessly chic.
3. Braided Bun
This styling is available at COVO Hair Salon @ Keong Saik Rd
There are countless of different ways to style a bun, and there are also countless of different ways to braid your hair. With the combination of braids and chignon, you are spoilt for choice regardless whether you are going for a fun, flirty or fabulous look.

Incorporating a braid or two, like the basic wrap around plait or diagonal plait is a simple way to take a regular sock bun to the next level.
4. Twisted Wispy Bun
This styling is available at COVO Hair Salon @ Keong Saik Rd
You don’t have to keep your hair long and sleek to pull off the bun hairstyle. Play around with the natural texture of your hair and style it into a wispy bun. Once again, you can add in twists or braids to add more dimension to your look.

The wispy low bun is also a beautiful way to style your hair for a D&D event, keeping it casual yet soft, natural and sexy.
5. Romantic Updo
This styling is available at AVENTA Hair Salon @ City Hall Stamford Court.
If you wish to go for a pretty, girl-next-door type of look and still keep it fancy, try a romantic updo. It shares similarities to the wispy bun but a romantic updo requires your hair to be curled or at least have slight waves.
The romantic updo is another hairstyle that can be done on short hair too.

Pull out a few wisps of curled hair to frame your face, and you can choose to add in embellishments or a bow clip for a beautiful and stylish romantic updo.
6. Fancy Top Knots
This styling is available at Air Salon @ The Cathay
Take your bun to greater heights, literally and don a top knot instead of a low-slung or regular bun. But there’s nothing much glamorous about a plain and simple top knot, so get creative or request your stylist to give you a top knot that is nothing short of F-A-N-C-Y.
This styling is available at Koinonia Salon @ Pacific Plaza.
The cinnamon roll top knot definitely adds a twist to the classic ballet bun. It may be a style you want to try for yourself but for those who are not as adept with hairstyling, there’s always the option to go for a professional stylist to create this elegant styling for your company event!
7. Braids Galore

This styling is available at COVO Hair Salon @ Keong Saik Rd
When you can’t decide if you want your hair up or down, get the best of both worlds by going for a half-up, half-down hairdo.
The half-up fishbone braid styled by COVO Hair Salon stops midway through the ponytail, adding just the right amount of pizzazz without going over the top.

9. Glamorous Side Ponytail

Add in a simple braid and soft curls to give a modern feel to the side ponytail. To glam up this look further, hold the hairstyle in place with jeweled hair pins or clips.

14. Side Swept Blowout
This makeup and styling is available at 99 Percent Hair Studio @ Bugis Haji Lane
Party hairstyles for short hair can be limited since there’s not much length to play with. But don’t let that get you down, you can still look party-ready gorgeous regardless of your hair length!
A good blowout can do wonders to your look and if you have short hair, you can’t go wrong with the side swept hairstyle. Who’s to say you won’t be rocking your look just like Jennifer Lawrence in her pixie cut?
Hair can do a lot for your appearance, be it the hair on your head or on your eyes. While this last tip has nothing much to do with hairstyle, it still involves hair.
Long lashes have always been the envy of many women and while falsies are always an option for special occasions, eyelash extensions are also another viable option for getting lashes you have been lusting over.
For those of you who are not sure if the J Curl, L Curl or CC Curl is better, leave it to the experts at KJ Studio to make their professional recommendation. They can even customize curls to help you achieve your desired look, keeping in mind your existing lash condition.
If you are not too fussy about the type of curls you are looking for, Queen’s Market can be a good place to try out lash extensions as well.
There you go ladies, an extra tip from us to you, so you can look extra fabulous for that upcoming D&D!
