Holiday hair is a salon dedicated to giving its clients an impressive new holiday look. Their stylists stay abreast of all of the latest styles, ensuring you receive one that best complements your face shape. Warm, dark colors are excellent choices for wintertime. A chestnut brown with cinnamon-toned highlights is ideal; adding silver or blue streaks can further enhance your look and brighten it up!
The Braid
It can be nice to add a personal touch at holiday events by changing your look a bit – and switching up your hairstyle may do the trick! Don’t just rely on one go-to style; take this opportunity to experiment! The holiday season is also an excellent opportunity to experiment with something different when it comes to hair color. From subtle additions of smoky brown or bright red strands, make this the year your locks make an impressive statement!
A classic holiday look, braiding is an effortless and effortless holiday look that requires minimal time or effort to complete. Braid your hair in low, side swept, or top knot style depending on the event and occasion you are attending – add glitter or even an adorable bow for added festivity! One fun option is creating a loose, flowing braid that hangs down your back. This style can be worn straight or with some waves for casual events, while it can also be slicked back with hairspray for chicer occasions and events where talking and moving around often are involved. Braids provide another effective solution to keep hair off your neck and out of the face! If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, why not go one step further and create a double French braid with extra volume? This stunning style will turn heads at any party! For longer locks, consider curling them with a wand before slicking them back for an ultra-chic and glamorous look!
Ponytails
Ponytails are one of the easiest holiday hairstyles to create and are versatile enough for any special event or occasion. Keep it ultra sleek by applying gel cream through your locks before spraying with hairspray, or add visual interest with an adorable clip. Enhance your ponytail further by adding embellishments such as bobby pins to the base of your braid or glittery nails! For an eye-catching finish, tie a ribbon at the end to match your outfit color!
The High Bun
After indulging in sugar cookies and sipping punch cocktails, the last thing you want is for your hair to fall unrulily across your forehead. Thanks to Kendall Jenner’s shaggy bangs-bun combo and Miranda Kerr’s sleek topknot, a high bun is one of our go-to styles. According to stylist Angela Kalinowski, to master this look,, pinning must occur strategically; don’t just randomly pin around the base of the ponytail. Ultimately, she recommends finishing off your face with a quick spray of hairspray for added polish. For an exciting change of pace, Vivica Fox adds texture with caramel-dyed ends for added visual interest in her twisted bun style. To copy this look at home, use hairspray on your locks before combing back away from the face and gathering them into a low ponytail that rests at the nape of the neck before tying them with an elastic.
The Half-Up Braid
If you want an elegant hairstyle, the sleek half-up is an ideal way to achieve it. This hairstyle can work whether your locks are long and straight or curly tresses. Start by creating a ponytail secured with a hair tie, then gather a small section from either side and twist it; pin this section backward using some bobby pins; finish by applying hairspray if necessary to lock in your style! This semi-formal hairstyle makes an elegant yet easy statement at any semi-formal event, making an impressionful statement without much time or effort. Perfect for bridesmaids wanting an adorable yet sophisticated look! One way to add drama and elegance to this look is to incorporate flowers or headbands into your braid. Doing this will instantly elevate the formality and dignity of the eye; alternatively, pinning a lovely bow at the top of your half-up ponytail will work just as well. The four-strand braid may appear complex initially, but it’s simple to learn. Divide a section of hair into four strands and tuck one over under another until all four strands have been added to your braid. Add a dash of shimmer to your look by accessorizing with a glittery hairclip or bow for added shimmer and glitz, perfect for holiday occasions! It will complete your ensemble beautifully. If you want a sleeker style with this hairstyle, we recommend using a smoothing serum like Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum as a pre-styler to prep your locks before styling them. This product will add that extra sparkle that your locks need.
The Curls
If bouncy curls make you proud, don’t stop showing them off this holiday season! All it takes to keep them looking their best is tweaking a few aspects of your hair routine to maintain optimal conditions for them. Before shampooing the roots only, condition all lengths to avoid stripping moisture from your bulk of hair (you may still use detangling products on ends). Rinse and condition once done to avoid greasy roots; doing this weekly should help to reduce shed-shedding while strengthening strands. Use a lightweight styling gel or pomade to provide some hold at your roots and curls, helping maintain their shape over multiple days of wear. Alternatively, using an Endless Summer Spray like PLAYA could add even more hold – reapply periodically throughout the day as needed! Texturizer sprays will do wonders for your curls, leaving them more hydrated and soft while giving them that beachy vacation vibe. Look for ones made with natural ingredients without added alcohol – PLAYA offers one made from cane sugar and marine collagen, which hydrates curls while providing light hold. Before each shampoo, use a pre-poo or a pre-shampoo product like LUS Elixir Oil and Gooseberry Oil; these contain rich emollients to nourish and soften the hair for improved manageability and shine.
