Your Go-To 12 Holiday Hairstyles to Try
01 of 12 Soft Low Bun
Elegant yet relaxed, this soft low bun is perfect for Thanksgiving dinners or intimate holiday gatherings. Lightly tease the crown for a bit of lift, then gather your hair at the nape and twist it into a loose bun. Let a few tendrils fall naturally around your face for a cozy, romantic vibe. You can also braid a small section before tucking it in for extra detail. Keep everything soft and airy — not too tight — for that effortless holiday charm.
02 of 12 Loose Half-Up Waves
A go-to for casual brunches or festive afternoons, this half-up wave style combines ease and beauty. Curl your hair away from the face for soft, natural movement. Gather the top half and secure it with a clip or a simple bow, letting the rest fall freely. A few loose strands around the temples add a relaxed, approachable feel — the ideal look for laughing over hot cocoa or capturing family photos.
03 of 12 Messy Braided Crown
For a Christmas Eve or holiday party hairstyle that feels dreamy yet undone, try a loose braided crown. Create two gentle braids from each side of your temples and wrap them over your head. Secure with bobby pins and lightly tug at the braids to create volume and texture. This look pairs beautifully with soft sweaters or flowy dresses — boho-chic, comfortable, and camera-ready.
04 of 12 Classic Blowout with Layers
Nothing says “holiday ready” like a classic, bouncy blowout. Use a blow dryer to lift roots and smooth frizz while keeping volume. Curl the ends slightly outward for movement and warmth. Face-framing layers add softness and dimension, making this style perfect for both cozy gatherings and elegant holiday dinners.
05 of 12 Sleek Low Side Ponytail
Polished, simple, and timeless — the sleek low side ponytail is ideal for Christmas Eve dinners or work holiday parties. Sweep your hair to one side and secure it with an elastic. Wrap a thin section of hair around the base to hide it for a refined finish. Loosen a few strands for a natural softness. This minimalist look pairs effortlessly with statement earrings or a bold red lip.
06 of 12 Side-Swept Loose Curls
If you love romantic, movie-scene energy, side-swept curls are your best friend. Curl your hair in large sections, sweeping them all to one side and pinning gently at the back. Let a few curls fall freely around your face. The result? A soft, touchable style that feels festive without trying too hard.
07 of 12 Textured Half-Up Twist
When you want something quick but polished, try this half-up twist. Take small sections from both sides, twist, and pin them together at the back. Curl the lower half for volume and bounce. Lightly tousle for texture — it’s the perfect blend of relaxed and refined, ideal for family dinners or spontaneous get-togethers.
08 of 12 Elegant High Bun
Understated glamour meets elegance in this high bun. Gather your hair at the crown, twist it into a neat bun, and secure with pins. Slightly loosen the top for added volume and let a few strands frame your face for softness. Whether you’re attending a formal dinner or dancing through the night, this timeless style never fails.
09 of 12 Braided Crown Bun
This easy, practical style works beautifully for all-day celebrations. Part your hair as desired and take small sections from each temple to braid loosely toward the back, forming a soft crown. Gather the rest of your hair into a low bun, keeping it relaxed and natural. Let a few strands frame your face for an elegant yet playful holiday-ready look.
10 of 12 Twisted Low Ponytail
For an elegant yet effortless look, this twisted low ponytail is perfect for holiday gatherings. Soft waves flow from the nape, creating a graceful, romantic feel, while a few loose strands around the face add a relaxed, natural touch. Ideal for festive dinners, parties, or any winter celebration, this style looks beautiful on long hair, showing off its texture and volume.
11 of 12 Soft Beachy Waves
Nothing feels more timelessly festive than relaxed waves. Use a curling wand to create large, soft curls, leaving the ends slightly straight for a modern edge. Run your fingers through for that perfectly undone look — cozy, flattering, and effortlessly chic.
12 of 12 Snowy Braided Crown
Finish the season with romance. Part your hair slightly to the side. Braid small sections from each temple toward the back and secure them at the crown with bobby pins to form a soft, snowy-inspired crown. Leave the rest in gentle waves and let a few strands frame your face for a natural, whimsical look—perfect for holiday parties or winter celebrations.
