Holiday Hairstyles You Can Recreate Yourself
Le French Twist
Have yourself a very joyeux noel or Thanksgiving this year by creating a classic French twist and channeling that vintage Audrey Hepburn vibe. Adorn with a crystal brooch or clip to complete the look. Twist the hair tightly before clipping it into place and you’ll have an updo that stays up longer than you do.
Short and Sassy
Glam up short hairstyles with a nod to the roaring ’20s. Whether you have a geometric bob or a pixie cut, there are so many ways to dress it up with easy holiday hairstyles for short hair. Recreate kiss curls at the forehead or sides of the ears with hair oil or styling gel, or straighten your bob to recreate the classic flapper look.
Side-Swept Hollywood Waves
This look is classic Hollywood at its very best. Start by using a wave styler or curling tongs to create loose waves on the bottom half of your hair. From there, create a deep side part and sweep your hair off one side of your face, adding a little styling gel to create a sleek finish. To complete the look, use an adorned hair pin to secure the hair closest to your part behind your ear (perfect for showing off your favorite new earrings).
Fabulous Fishtail
Searching for the perfect holiday hairstyles for long hair? A tousled fishtail braid looks great on long and mid-length hair. This style may take a little time to master but the result is so worth it and it’s a super-versatile style, so you can make it as messy or as neat as you like. Add shimmer and sparkle to your look by weaving gold or silver thread into your hair as you braid it.
Chignon Chic
Give the straighteners a break this holiday season by opting for a chic chignon style that stays in place all night. Secure your tresses at the nape of your neck into a relaxed low bun. Step up your sparkle game by adding a luxe hairpin or two.
The Bubble Pony
Sectioned ponies, also known as bubble ponies, are a favorite among hairstylists and celebrities alike, with Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, and Halle Bailey all rocking their own versions of this trend. A holiday-ready twist on the classic ponytail, the bubble pony is so easy to achieve and will add a touch of glamor to any ensemble. Simply pull your hair into a low or high pony and add sparkly hair bands at even intervals across your pony to create sections, pulling the hair out a little as you go to create the bubble effect.
The Statement Braid
A statement braid can complete your party look and protect your tresses from the elements and dry or humid environments. Try a halo braid for a romantic style that never goes off-trend. Add sparkling crystals to catch the light as you move.
Effortlessly Tousled
When you’re short on time but don’t want to compromise on style, the tousled bedhead look is your go-to for holiday party hairstyles. Grab your favorite styling gel, wax or curl cream, turn your head upside down and run your fingers through every strand.
Bouncy ‘90s Blowout
Nothing says party season like a big and bouncy blow dry. ’90s supermodel-esque blowouts are showing up everywhere, from the runway to red-carpet celebs and TikTok influencers. To achieve this look, blow dry your hair upside down using a large round brush, focusing on the roots to create a glamorous finish. For even more volume, pop in some velcro rollers and let your locks set while you get ready for your holiday party.
Textured Low Bun
If you want a holiday look that shouts effortless style, the textured low bun is the style for you. This style works best on second-day hair, which is a bonus if you don’t have time to shampoo before your celebration. To create this look, brush your hair into a smooth, low ponytail, then twist your pony into a bun at the nape of your neck and tie it with an elastic band. Spritz your hair with texturizing spray and tease out small sections to add volume and texture. For some extra fun, complete the look with a festive hairband or a few sparkly hair jewels.
Chandelier Updo
An exaggerated topknot, beehive or bouffant is the perfect blank canvas for some serious sparkle. To create your updo, start by spritzing some dry shampoo on your roots to boost volume. Then, using a comb, begin to tease your hair at the root of the crown until you have the desired height. Use a soft-bristled brush to smooth over the backcomb and bring your hair back into a topknot or half updo. For added holiday sparkle, adorn your ‘do with garlands of crystals, crisscrossing as you go to create a spectacular effect reminiscent of vintage chandeliers.
Bangs For Days
Now is the perfect time for a new holiday winter hairstyle. From curtain bangs to a blunt fringe, bangs shape your face and look as good with a short style as they do with a high pony. Bangs also look great peeping from under a beanie hat long after the party season is over.
Finishing Touches for Holiday Hairstyles
Everything should have a little extra sparkle and glamor during the holiday season, your hair included. Adding a stack of diamante hair clips, a dusting of gold glitter or a luxe sparkly hair band will make your holiday hairstyle dazzle. Keep your hair looking and feeling great throughout the party season and beyond with the right haircare.
