Festive Charm: Christmas Hairstyles to Try This Season
When you’re choosing a Christmas hairstyle, it’s important to think about your overall look and the vibe you want to achieve.
Depending on if you’re at your office Christmas party, a potluck dinner with friends, or a lunch with all the relatives and grandparents, you’re going to need to adapt your style.
Creating Iconic Looks: Easy and Chic Christmas Hairstyles
One of the most special things about the holidays is the nostalgia. If you want to lean into the childlike magic of Christmas, try a simple pair of braids or plaits.
Or if your holiday season is full of parties, dinners, lunches, and other fun festivities, why not invest in a keratin treatment or blowout?
It’ll keep your hair looking sleek and styled for days on end, while you run around wrapping presents and trying to keep up with a crazy calendar.
Hairstyle Inspirations: Celebrity Christmas Hairdos We Love
If you’re an ultra-talented hair stylist, you could try some elaborate updos inspired by Cindy Lou Who from The Grinch. Sure it’ll take a lot of hairspray, but you’ll certainly stand out!
For the more practical among us, a nice and easy celebrity inspired holiday look is Mariah Carey’s beautiful, loose waves.
In her iconic All I Want For Christmas music video, Mariah has her hair in a side part with old-hollywood style curls over her shoulder. It’s simple to pull off, and a subtle nod to the Christmas queen!
Accessorise Your Festive Look: Christmas Hairbands
Anyone who’s watched Gossip Girls knows that a well placed hair accessory can be a total game-changer. So, why not try a Christmas hairband a la Blair Waldorf?
Style Guide: Choosing the Perfect Christmas Hairband
When you’re choosing a festive hairband, you have a couple of options. You could go for the classic Christmas colours, red and green, or opt for a nice sparkly gold or silver to give that angelic affect.
Playing around with prints like tartan and plaid or a textured velvet can also give that cosy, Winter vibe that we associate with Christmas.
Or if you want to go all out – why not go for Christmas lights or a bit of tinsel?

Add a Sparkle: Christmas Hair Clips to Brighten Your Holidays
Christmas hair clips are another great way to bring a pop of colour and flair to any hairstyle. Pretty and practical, they’re an easy way to keep your hair in place whilst complementing your outfit.
Fashion Forward: Unique Christmas Hair Clips for Every Style
Hair clips come in so many shapes, sizes, and colours – so you’re spoilt for choice here!
If you want to gather smaller amounts of hair for a half-up-half-down look or just to secure, you only need a small clip.
But if you want to do a full on updo or bun, make sure you’re looking for a large clip that has more grip to it.
You can also find fun Christmas clips in the shape of snowflakes, gingerbreads, stars, stockings, and more!
DIY Ideas: Creating Your Own Christmas Hair Clips
If you can’t find the perfect Christmas hair clip, you can always make one! Simply find a clip in the size and shape you like, and spray paint it red, green, or a nice sparkly colour to give it some festive cheer.
You could hot glue on some bows, pearls, and tinsel for a bit more pop too.
Holiday Elegance: Styling with Christmas Bows
A simple Christmas bow could be the accessory your hair is missing! Here’s how to style and find the cutest Christmas bows.
Hair Bow Styles: How to Wear a Christmas Bow
One of the best things about a bow, is that it’s so versatile! You can tie it around your head like a hairband, or put it in a nice high ponytail or half-up-half-down.
You can also use bows to secure the end of a braid, or even weave the ribbon throughout some plaits for a creative twist.
Gift Guide: Where to Buy the Best Christmas Bows
Any good craft or fabric store will have a million ribbon options for you to choose from. But if you don’t have one nearby, don’t worry. It’s Christmas, so almost every grocery store and market has ribbon on sale!
