When winter approaches, people generally look to comfort and wrap up, usually in layers, reach for their favorite warm beverage, or settle for low-maintenance hair and bring simplicity and style. Between the cold and the shorter daylight hours, you’ll want hair that’s easy to style and not bothered by hats, scarves, or random snowflakes.
Fortunately, countless mess-free hairstyles are ideal for cozy winter days, keeping you looking good with minimal bother. Here are ideas for keeping you stylish throughout the season.
1. Messy Bun: Effortless and Chic
The messy bun is an all-time go-to style because it’s practical and stylish. It’s great for lazy winter days when you want your hair off your neck but still need to look polished. It’s also great when you layer up with scarves and jackets.
Sweep all your hair into a high or low bun, leaving a few strands loose for that imperfectly perfect look. Twist your hair loosely and secure it with an elastic, then pull on a few strands to add volume. This style can be achieved in under a minute and is great with little effort.
2. Half-Up, Half-Down Twist: Casual and Feminine
A compelling twist of half-up, half-down is perfect for winter days—keep it out of the way yet retain the coziness of having it fall. The ease of application also adds flair to one’s attire, whether homebound or out and about.
Now take the small section of hair off each side of your head, twist it back towards your head, and tuck it under using cute hair clips or a little barrette.
This style fits all hair types and is an effortless way of keeping your hair out of your face without looking mainly put together, keeping everything cozy and relaxed.
3. Loose Waves: Effortlessly Stylish
This option can go loose; it’s easier and much more flexible if you have your hair’s natural waves or curls. This hairstyle exudes a carefree and slacking look suitable for cold-season outings or staying indoors.
If your hair is naturally wavy, amp it up with a light curl cream or sea salt spray. For straighter hair, use a curling wand on large sections of hair to create soft waves, then run your fingers through them to loosen them.
This look doesn’t require much upkeep and can quickly be refreshed with dry shampoo.
4. Side Braid: Easy Peasy
A side braid keeps hair contained while remaining cute and comfortable. Because it stays put all day, it is perfect for bundling up in hats and scarves.
Begin by parting your hair on one side of your head. Then, take it to your shoulder and braid it loosely. Secure the braid using a hair tie, and then pull the braid to add more volume.
The side braid is versatile and can be worn with casual or festival outfits, making it a versatile winter look.
5. Low pony: Sleek And Practical
A low ponytail will become a favorite for a minimalist, low-maintenance style. It is practical and cozy and goes well with any winter outfit, from chunky sweaters to chic coats.
Style your hair by parting it in the middle or slightly to one side, and gather it back to the nape of your neck with an elastic band. Add a touch of polish by wrapping a small section of hair around the band’s base. This style goes well with hats; they won’t muss your hair when you remove them.
6. Relaxed Low Bun: Sleek and Beautiful
You can opt for a loose low bun for a very classy hairstyle that requires little time. It’s suitable for days when you need some sophistication but less effort and is an excellent way of keeping your hair down under hats.
Pull your hair back into a loose bun at the nape of your neck and secure it with a few bobby pins or an elastic. Leave a few face-framing pieces out for a softer look. This style is versatile enough for work-from-home days or a cozy coffee date.
7. Braided Headband: Feminine and Functional
A braided headband adds a whimsical touch to any winter look. It makes you appear to be wearing a headband while keeping your hair pulled back. This low-maintenance style works well with wavy or textured hair.
Take a small section of hair near your ear, braid it, and secure it with a small elastic. Then bring it across the top of your head and pin it behind your other ear-it’s like you are wearing a headband.
This hairstyle adds elegance and keeps hair out of your face without wearing those pesky accessories.
8. Wave-Your-Way to Beachy Hairstyle: Winter-Proof Waves
Beach waves can be very summery, but they look great in winter if you have warm beanies and wool hats. The all-relaxing vibe is beautiful, works great with most winter clothes, and adds texture to your hair.
With a curling wand, apply loose waves throughout the middle and ends of your hair. After setting your waves, spray on some texturizing spray for extra volume.
This style wears well under hats and has great success, and all you have to do to revive it is scrunch between wear.
9. Natural Curls with Leave-In Conditioner: Embracing Texture
Winter dries curls, so it is a time to embrace natural texture with extra moisture. Use a leave-in conditioner or curl cream for definition.
Leave-in conditioner or curl cream: Apply it when still damp. Dry it using a diffuser or simply air-drying. This no-fuss style should emphasize your texture with minimum styling for an effortless look.
10. Loose French Twist: Casually chic
The French twist is often a formal hairstyle, but a more relaxed version creates a beautiful casual winter look.
The style adds sophistication to the look as hair disappears from the shoulders while keeping the neckline and shoulders warm in scarves and coats.
Gather all your hair up at the back of the neck and twist it upwards, securing it using a few bobby pins in the back portion of the head. Leave a bit loose for a more relaxed appearance, then mist hairspray.
