Top Holiday Hairstyles for Party Season — With Easy At-Home Tips

There’s something truly special about the holidays—a time when everything feels a little more joyful, a little more sparkly, and a lot more fun. It’s also the perfect moment to try a fresh, festive hairstyle you might not wear any other time of year. Whether you’re stepping into a cozy family gathering or a glittering Christmas party, switching up your look adds an extra touch of excitement to the season. To help you feel your most radiant, here are a few easy, at-home holiday styles to try this year.

01. Soft, Glamorous Waves

A timeless favourite that works for every holiday moment.

How to do it at home:

• Apply a heat protectant and lightly mist hair with a flexible-hold hairspray.

• Use a curling wand, wrapping hair away from the face.

• Let the curls cool completely, then gently brush them out for soft, polished waves.

• Finish with a shine spray for that festive glow.

02. Sleek High Ponytail

Chic, lifted, and perfect for a high neckline.

How to do it at home:

• Straighten your hair for extra smoothness.

• Apply a small amount of smoothing serum or cream to tame flyaways.

• Gather hair high at the crown and secure tightly with an elastic.

• Take a small section of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic for a clean, professional finish.

  
  

03. Festive Braids

A playful way to add texture and charm to any look.

How to do it at home:

• Start with slightly textured hair—use dry shampoo or a texture spray.

• Choose your braid: fishtail, Dutch, or a simple three-strand braid.

• Loosen the braid gently by pulling on the edges to make it look fuller.

• Add a ribbon, clip, or pin for a holiday-ready touch.

  
  

04. Easy Updos

Perfect for formal dinners or holiday photo moments.

How to do it at home:

• Curl your hair loosely for grip and softness.

• Gather it into a low loose bun or twist, and secure sections with bobby pins.

  • For thick hair, try doubling up a clear elastic to better secure your loose bun and then pin sections with bobby pins.

  • For fine hair, try a texture spray for extra grip and fullness.

• Leave out a few face-framing pieces for a softer, romantic look.

• Mist with strong-hold hairspray to keep everything in place.
