Are you sick and tired of seeing the same old hairstyles every holiday season? Fear not, because I have three holiday party hairstyles that will put the other party styles you’ve seen to shame. 

The holidays are the best and easiest time to do a little something extra with your hair to really make it stand out. Here are three fabulous hairstyles that will help you ring in the holiday with some winter cheer!

Red Satin Hair Bow | Gold Glitter Hair Bow | Green Printed Hair Bows

Ever want to dress up your classic half-up half-down do a bit more? Take some inspiration from wrapped gifts and give your updo an upgrade with a present-inspired bow! Just curl your hair, pin in back in the middle of your head, and add a sweet bow.

You can attempt to be fancy (like the wonderful person in the Instagram pic, above) and make a bow from your own own hair, but if you’re not particularly skilled in the hair department, just clip in a bow and you’re ready to go! Simple and festive. Etsy has some great options, but Amazon is another great option for some gilttery and holiday-appropriate accessories.

Hairstyle 2: Fierce Side Braids With Hair Accessories

Inspiration | Red Winter Hair Clip | Star Hair Twists | Christmas Tree Hair Pins

Edgy has a place this holiday season too, so go for some dramatic glam with these side braids. You can curl the rest of your hair or leave it straight, depending on how intense you want your hair to look. 

Once your braids are secured and lookin’ fab, add on a hair barette or some cute hair clips to really make the look pop. You can add a larger clip like this one on the side where your braids end, or you can add it to the opposite side of your face to sweep back the hair and add some extra embellishment.
