Well you’ve got that Christmas work party coming up and you want to dress
the part without looking costumey. Or perhaps you’re having the whole
family over and you want to look as good as you know your food is going
to taste. Whatever the occasion, we’ve compiled some of the best festive
hairstyles that you can easily do yourself to really catapult yourself
into the jingly jolly holiday.
Tie it in a Bow

Everyone loves presents, right? Doesn’t it make perfect sense, then,
to top off your beautiful outfit with a pretty bow – just like a
present? Lady Gaga made the hair bow famous and for that we are truly
grateful; so now we bring you the half-up hair bow, complete with
dangling (hair) ribbons!
Triple Braided Bun

For a bun with a bang, all you really have to do is make three braids
and knot them together. The result is a really beautiful ornate bun
that looks fabulous but only takes a couple of minutes to achieve.
Fabric Maiden Braid

This hairstyle isn’t particularly groundbreaking, but combine it with
a silver or red glittery ribbon and there you have yourself a simple
yet effective hairstyle perfect for any Christmas party or dinner.
Rudolph Bun

This wouldn’t be a Christmas list without a bit of Rudolph. If your
little darling loves the holiday season as much as the next one, perhaps
she’d like to carry Rudolph around with her on the back of her head.
It’s just too cute!
Poufy Mermaid Braid

What an ingenious combination: the trendy mermaid braid and the
classic (and classy) Brigitte Bardot pouf! That touch of red that you
get with the ribbon bow is more than enough to bring the holiday cheer –
you don’t really want to distract too much from the stunning hairstyle
itself.

Four-Strand Ribbon Braid

We love the four-strand braid because it looks nice and bulky; almost
like a rope. The addition of a ribbon really jazzes it up, and if that
ribbon is a Christmas color, then you’ve really hit the nail on the
head. Once you’ve got the technique down, you can leave the braid as is,
twist it up into a bun or start from the side of your head.
Holiday Bun

We don’t always have hours to spend on styling our hair, so if you
want something that matches the season, looks intricate and delicate but
is actually super quick and easy to achieve, then you
have to try to this one. Add in any Christmassy accessory and you’re good to go.
Crown Rope Twist

What exactly makes this hairstyle so festive? The fact that it looks
like the halo of an angel, of course! We prefer this rope-like version
to the braided version because it’s quicker to do and, in our opinion,
looks better.
Twisted Half-Up Halo

If you’re more into the elegant disheveled look then try this
ridiculously (seriously!) easy twisted halo. You still get the angelic
halo effect, but with more of a hippy/boho feel, and you don’t need
super long hair for it, either. (Top tip: secure the headband with some
bobby pins to keep it in place for a long night.)
Retro Side Sweep

What’s a Christmas party without a bit of glamour? This old Hollywood
side swept style is a classic for a reason: it’s timeless, alluring and
simple.

Bow Braid

We just couldn’t resist slipping another bow style in here because it
really is just so festive, and oh-so-feminine! You can thank
The Hunger Games for
this fantastic look. It’ll probably take some practicing (we’ve
included a video tutorial for more detailed instructions) but it is most
certainly worth the effort.
Waterfall Braid

The waterfall braid remains a firm favorite, and it’s actually pretty
easy to do. If you want a more romantic, wispy effect, give the
remaining hair some soft curls.
