Looking for the best Christmas hairstyle to get you into the festive spirit and looking fabulous? Whether you want that elegant holiday look or effortless style, these curated ideas will help you get ready for the holidays in no time.
Christmas is that one time of year when you can really go all out with your look, and nobody thinks you‘re doing too much!
Sparkly? Hell yes. Big curls and glittery clips? Yes please! I always say after you sip on hot cocoa beneath twinkly lights, your hair deserves to be just as amazing.
The holidays are full of a million things to plan, from outfits, gifts, parties, and, of course, your hair ends up being the last-minute thing.
That moment before a Christmas party when you are in front of the mirror saying, “Okay, now what do I do with this?“
I‘ve been there. That is why I pulled together a bunch of really pretty, easy, and Pinterest-worthy Christmas hairstyles that you can recreate and not require a hairstylist.
Whether you are having a low-key holiday at home or going to a fancy dinner, there is something here for every occasion—even soft waves, sleek buns, romantic braids (and a couple of those ‘I woke up like this‘ hairstyles that still feel festive!).
So grab your curling iron, put on the Mariah Carey in the background, and let‘s get your holiday hair looking as enchanting as the holiday season feels.
