13 GORGEOUS HOLIDAY HAIR IDEAS
Deck your hair with bows and bobbys…
Holiday hair doesn’t have to involve sparkly pins and headbands. But that’s half the fun. There are plenty of simple party-ready styles out there. Here, we rounded-up 11 our favorite holiday hairstyle inspirations from the runways to the red carpet.
Pony-Meets-Braid
A little sparkle on Bella Hadid makes even the simplest of styles—the pony-braid hybrid—feel fit for party season.
Do the Twist
When you want unfussy, not-trying-too-hard hair, do as Jennifer Lawrence does, with subtle volume at the crown and a loose, looped knot at the nape of the neck.
Pin It
Even the messiest bun can get a posh upgrade from a few sparkly bobby pins, as seen at Erdem’s fall/winter 2016 show. Extra points are given for coordinating your lipstick with your accessories.
Best Braid
Jessica Hart’s crown braid is one of those effortlessly elegant updos that says stylish, not stuffy.
Baby Bun
The best part about half-up hair is that you only need to worry about the bottom. Secure the top center section of your crown into a miniature bun, then take a curling rod to the rest.
Va-Va Volume
A voluminous chignon goes with just about everything, as demonstrated alongside Kate Bosworth’s neutral makeup and Jessica Alba’s look-at-me red lip.
Perfect Ponytail
A tightly tied ponytail (paired with a swipe of black liner) is the best way to transform day-old locks into a sleek party style.
Silky Straight
These center-parted pin straight strands require a flat iron and some “It Girl” attitude.
High Glamour
Alexa Chung’s hair how-to: create a side part, set with hot rollers, brush out, apply plenty of hair spray.
In Bloom
Take inspiration from Dolce and Gabbana’s spring 2017 beauty look by decorating an ordinary knot with this modern take on a flower crown.
Soft & Sexy
For a look you can style before work and easily touch up 12 hours later, try Jamine Tooks’ undone waves
Get Low
Wrap a low ponytail with an on-trend velvet rope for probably the coolest and easiest holiday style ever.
Towering on Top
Josephine Skriver’s twisted tresses lend a modern edge to the timeless top knot.
