This year’s Christmas party hairstyles offer glitz, sophistication, and just the perfect amount of edge, from bouncy blowouts to ethereal halo braids. So grab a drink of eggnog, turn on some Mariah Carey, and let’s explore these eye-catching looks that you should try for every Christmas occasion!
Bouncy Blow Dry: The 90s Glam is Back!
Nothing shouts “ready for a party” like large, lively blowouts. Imagine the kind that makes people smile and turn heads as soon as you walk in the door—like something from a Clueless moment. Influencers are teaching us how to get the airy, volume-rich style that makes you feel like a supermodel, and this year, fluffy blow dries are taking over TikTok.
How to Get the Look:
- To lay a strong foundation, start with shampoo and conditioner that increase volume.
- To give your hair a weightless lift, use a thickening blowout spray (especially if it contains Air-Silk Technology!).
- To achieve the most volume, divide your hair into sections and use a large round brush to draw each area upward.
A practice run may be necessary if this is your first time attempting this technique. You’ll have a bouncy blow dry that’s ready to rock any holiday party once you get the hang of it, I promise!

Relaxed Bun: Elegant, Understated, and Oh-So Chic
The look that says, “I didn’t try too hard, but I look amazing,” is the relaxed bun. This sophisticated yet understated style is ideal for cocktail parties or more formal events. Imagine having messy tendrils that elegantly frame your face, reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn but with a contemporary touch.
Steps to Nail This Look:
- Fasten your hair at the nape of your neck in a loose ponytail.
- Secure the ponytail with pins after twisting it and wrapping it around its base.
- For a carefree style, loosen a few tendrils around your face.
Pro Tip: Having trouble with recently washed hair that is overly slick? When you mix and mingle, your relaxed bun will stay in place thanks to the texture that a root booster spray adds. You might even be able to show off your dancing skills.
Perfect Curls: Channel Your Inner Curl Queen
It’s time to add curl power to the celebration, regardless of whether you have straight or naturally curly hair! The key to curls that last all night is preparation, even though curling irons and heated brushes are excellent tools for creating that bouncy, wavy look.
Take Care of Your Curls:
- Apply a heat-protectant spray beforehand since nobody wants to have a bad New Year’s Eve.
- Select a smaller curling iron for tighter curls and a larger barrel for looser waves.
- Remember to use hairspray to keep them in place!
Alternatively, if you’re completely avoiding heat, consider some heatless techniques, like as sleeping with your hair wrapped in a silk scarf. Your curls will appreciate it.
Slicked-Back Wet Look: Because Bold is Beautiful
If you want to add some drama, the slicked-back wet style is a great option. It has been a favorite on red carpets. Consider it the “I know it, I’m fierce, and I’m fabulous” look. Now that Kim Kardashian and Zendaya have been killing this look, it’s your turn.
How Not to Use Grease to Get the Wet Look:
- Start with hair that is moist but not dripping. Let it air dry until it’s about 60% dry, then towel-dry it roughly.
- Using your fingers, rake a light serum back from roots to ends.
- For the last bit of gleam, apply a glossing spray.
Own it! This look exudes confidence!
Classic Chignon: Vintage Vibes for a Classy Christmas
For fans of vintage glamour, the chignon is a timeless look that pairs beautifully with a tea dress and a bold red lip. Imagine Grace Kelly at a holiday soirée—a look that’s as classy as it is Christmas-ready.
Create a Stunning Chignon:
- Start with a low ponytail.
- Make a small loop above the hairband, thread the tail through, and tuck it in.
- Secure with pins, spritz with hairspray, and you’re ready to wow.
Glossy High Ponytail: Sleek, Shiny, and Super Chic
If you like to appear classy yet still carry the swag of a cool girl, then the shiny high ponytail is amazing. In short, it is the best mix of sassy and great, and it’s perfect for girls with long, luscious locks.
How to Recreate This Chic Look:
- For silkiest of smoothness, use the restorative shampoo and conditioner.
- For added oomph, try two stacked hairbands to secure your hair in a high ponytail.
- Wrap the bands by taking a small piece of hair and twisting it around them and tucking it in place with a few bobby pins.
If you’re going to be mingling all night, a touch-up kit full of bobby pins and shine serum will see you through until that final dance.
Greek Halo Braid: Channel Your Inner Goddess
Try the halo braid for a hairdo that will make you appear as though you just stepped out of a Renaissance picture. When you’re the chef, the host, and the life of the party on Christmas Day, this style is ideal.
The Halo Braid: A Guide to Mastery
- From one side of your hairline, begin with a Dutch braid.
- Secure it with pins as you work it around your head.
- For that additional holiday flair, add some sparkle with hairpins or clips.
The perfect fusion of functionality and style, halo braids give you the grace of a Greek goddess and the durability of an all-day look.
Hollywood Waves: Old-School Glamour for Modern Parties
Hollywood waves, if you want to tap into that fairytale feeling of Marilyn Monroe for your holiday look. Your gorgeous, shiny curls can provide sensual full-bodied appeal and add a vintage charm to any date or party.
How to Make Waves in Hollywood:
- You begin with dry, clean hair and a heat-protectant spray.
- Curl away from your face using a large-barrel curling iron for that timeless wave effect.
- After the curls have cooled, there’s time to gloss them with a glossing spray and gently brush out your curls.
Hollywood waves bring drama to every single outfit. Feel free to bring some twinkle to the Christmas celebration!
