It’s time to think of perfect hairstyles for all those special gatherings of the holiday season from the office party or family dinner to grand New Year’s Eve celebrations. Your hairstyle can make just as much impact as your dress.
From classic updos to dazzling accessories, these holiday hairstyles will add a touch of elegance to any event.
Here’s your guide to easy yet stunning looks that will turn heads from classic and chic to modern and festive.
1. Classic Chignon
A chignon is an archetypal hairstyle that oozes elegance and sophistication. It involves twisting the hair at the nape of the neck into a bun suitable for formal and semi-formal occasions.
This hairdo is ideal if you want a chic yet effortless look. Start with a low ponytail, twist it, and wrap it into a bun.
Secure everything with bobby pins, and leave a few strands loose around your face to give it a softer feel. A small spot of hairspray can even tie the whole thing together.
2. Braided Crown
A braided crown is a ravishing bohemian hairstyle that works beautifully for more relaxed holiday gatherings.
It keeps your hair out of your face and makes you look soft and romantic, so it’s perfect for holiday dinners and family gatherings.
Begin by creating two simple braids from either side of your head. Cross them over the top of your head and secure them with a few bobby pins to form the crown shape. For texture, pull on the braids to loosen them a little.
3. Low Twisted Bun with a Sparkly Clip
This hairstyle, with a low twisted bun and a touch of sparkle in the form of a dazzling clip or barrette, will appeal to many if they like it chic and easy to achieve.
This hairdo is suitable for any event, including holiday preparation. It offers the perfect subtle touch of glamour through one gorgeous clip or barrette.
Brush your hair and pull it back to the nape of your neck. Twist and secure it into a loose bun. Then, affix a glittering clip above the bun for some holiday sparkle. Finish it off with hairspray to be you shiny all night.
4. Hollywood Waves
Hollywood waves add the most glamorous finish to your outfit. This Old Hollywood style would be perfect for formal holiday parties and black-tie events. Voluminous, glossy waves create a vintage look that completes the evening outfit.
Curl your hair using a large-barrel curling iron. Pull out the curls softly to form structured waves. Finish with a high-shine hairspray to ensure the waves stay in all night.
5. Half-Up Half-Down with Twists
The half-up, half-down look balances casual and formal, making it perfect for any holiday. Adding twists and volume to the top section frames your face while letting your hair flow naturally.
Take lockings from each side and twist them to the back of your head.
Anchor the twists with pins or a festive clip for a holiday finish.
This style accommodates straight and wavy hair and quickly provides a versatile, effortless look.
6. Sleek High Ponytail with a velvet ribbon
A sleek and stylish choice, this high ponytail is even more stunning with a festive velvet ribbon.
This hairstyle keeps the hair out of your face while showing off your makeup and accessories, perfect for an upbeat holiday party or night on the town.
Tease your hair into a high ponytail secured with a hair tie.
For extra festive flair, add a velvet ribbon twisted at the base of the ponytail and finish in a bow. Run the straightener over the ponytail for a sleek, glossy look.
7. Loose Strands Messy Bun
A messy bun with loose strands frames your face. It’s filthy but effortless and gives that laid-back aspect, perfect for more casual celebrations or with your family.
Gather your hair into a high or low bun and leave some strands around your face.
Do not worry about it being perfect; the charm of this style is in that effortless, undone look. Give that bun a little tug for volume, then secure it with bobby pins.
8. Double Braided Ponytail
Another fresh perspective that combines play and elegance is the double-braided ponytail. It is meant for younger partygoers or casual get-togethers and gives a different twist to the traditional ponytail.
Divide your hair into two equal sections.
Braid both sections, then pull both braids back into a low pony and secure them with an elastic.
For a bolder look, secure metallic or sparkly hair ties down the braid to give this look a festive finish.
9. Loose Waves with Glitter Roots
One amusing, young holiday look is loose waves with a splash of glitter at the roots. This is perfect for New Year’s Eve or any other party, giving you glamour and playfulness.
Loose waves in the curls are achieved by curling your hair. A small amount of gel is put on your roots, and some are sprinkled on the cosmetic-grade glitter by pressing it into the gel. This whimsical look is sure to make you a party animal!
10. Sleek Middle Part with Shine Spray
This sleek hairstyle with a centre part is minimalist and classy. Combined with some shine spray, it provides a versatile look that is polished and chic and emits high fashion that is suitable for any formal holiday event.
You can start with straight hair because you’ll pull it back into a middle part and smooth it out using a flat iron if it’s wavy.
Shine spray will make the hair glossy, and you can tuck it behind your ears for a sleek look. This simple style will make heads turn.
