Holiday Hair Styles

Look fabulous for every occasion — from festive parties to Christmas morning — with these simple, no-fuss holiday hairstyles.

Party-Perfect Styles

Not only are these party-perfect styles on-trend, they also work well in any weather. Pick the length that best fits your lifestyle, facial features and hair type.

  • Short Hair: If your hair is pixie-short, use its natural texture to your advantage and have fun with hair accessories. Apply mousse for a messy bed-head look and hold a side part in place with a festive clip or bobby pin.
  • Medium Hair: Everyone will love this season’s most popular medium-length hairstyle — the flip. This loose and carefree look is great if your hair falls to around your chin line. Apply gel and then use a curling iron to gently flip up the ends of your hair to achieve this simple yet stylish fashion.
  • Long Hair: Yes, the bun is back, and it’s better than ever. Pull back your long tresses into a light, loose bun at the nape of your neck for a casual party style that will last long into the night. Let a few strands dangle in front for added elegance in more formal settings.
Great Day Looks

Whether you're shopping or having a few guests over for a casual afternoon, these classy day looks are easy to manage.

  • Short Hair: Pomade will help you add bit of volume to short hair in under 10 minutes. Slick damp hair forward, and squish to your heart’s content while you make your short waves or curls frame your face.
  • Medium Hair: Headbands and hair wraps are your secret everyday weapon when you have medium-length hair. Add just a small dab of lightweight defining cream or gel to control fly-aways and position your favorite hair piece on your head. Scrunch the hair in back for fantastic volume.
  • Long Hair: A ponytail is an eye-catching and nearly effortless look for those with long hair. It's also extremely practical, as it keeps your hair out of your face. Blow dry, but don't worry about getting your hair stick-straight if it's wavy or curly — let your hair retain its natural texture. Add styling spray to the body and pull hair up to the back of your head with an elastic band. If you don't want it to show, pull a few strands from beneath the tail and wrap them around the band, tucking ends in and pinning them in place with a bobby pin. Finish with a spritz of hair spray.
A Little Something Extra

Other ideas for holiday hair include highlights, subtle color changes or easy-to-use hair extensions. For the best results, always begin with a deep-cleaning conditioner to combat harsh winter weather, then take the time to carefully match your main color and texture. Include a decorative hairpin or other holiday-themed accessories for a festive touch.
