Warm up your holiday season with some festive tidings and a matching hairdo!
Winter holidays are upon us, and it’s time to gather around the glow of the Yule log with your family and friends. Whether you’re heading to the slopes, a Christmas Eve party, or getting ready to count down to the New Year, a beautiful holiday hairstyle is a great add-on to your festive look. We found seven styling ideas for every hair length and type to let you shine through the night!
If you want to show off your lengthy tresses this time, opt for a luxurious half-up ponytail. All you need to do is gather your locks in a half pony and tie it like a knot several times to create a messy, twisted bun. Secure this section with a clear elastic and fluff the strands up for a more laid-back feel. It’s so simple and classy!
In case your hair has already grown past your collarbone, you can try this bejeweled braided bun hairstyle. Start out with a basic French braid. Once done, twist the braid toward one side of your head and tuck it into the plait to hide loose ends. Secure the style with a couple of bobby pins and insert some hair jewelry if you feel extra sparkly!
Save this hairdo for your Christmas glam to make your short hairstyle truly festive and picture-worthy. To achieve the look, section off your front tendrils and tie a mini ponytail at the back of the head while securing it with an elastic. Add a second pony just below the first one. Attach a large hair bow between the ponytails to make it stay put. Now, you’re ready to sleigh the day!
Bring in some textural complexity to your styling routine by recreating this accessorized hairdo. First things first, gather your hair in four low ponytails and attach long hair chains to them. Next, twist each strand around the base to get a mini bun and secure it tightly. Repeat the process until all of your hair is styled to perfection. Voilà! Your dream look is ready!
Embrace your natural hair texture with this easy hairdo that makes the back of your head look amazing. Gather the top section of your hair in a low ponytail and topsy tail it. Take the rest of the locks and tie them over the first pony. Twist the second pony to create an opening and pull the top section through it. Enjoy your upgraded glam!
It’s time to bust out your favorite bows and ribbons and tie them in your festive hairstyle for extra cuteness. To accentuate your thick mane, try out this faux braid look with a cute little bow on the top. To get the same ‘do, make two half up ponytails, one under another. Split the first one and put the second ponytail between the strands before securing them with an elastic. Repeat the process two more times, and you’re good to go!
Want to bring some volume and fullness to your thin strands? Then, how about donning a Kim Kardashian-inspired updo? Section off the front tendrils and gather the rest of your hair in a high bun. Create a loop out of your hair at the tips, twist it, and put it over the base of your ‘do for a thicker look. Style the front strands to your liking and get ready to rock!
We hope these hair styling ideas will get you through the festive season looking fab. From elegant updos to intricately braided styles – your options are countless. The only limit is your own imagination and creativity. Have a holly jolly Christmas and a happy New Year!
