Okay, can we talk about how most “Christmas hairstyle” roundups show you five looks and every single one assumes you have the same hair as the model? That’s not helpful when you’re sitting in my chair with curls, or coily hair, or fine straight hair that won’t hold a curl past lunch. So this list is different.
I sorted 25 of my favorite Christmas looks by hair type, because the technique that makes a style work on straight hair is not the same technique that makes it work on curly or coily hair, and pretending otherwise just sets you up to be disappointed in the mirror.
Find your texture below and save the looks that were actually built for you.
Christmas Hairstyles for Straight Hair
Straight hair holds sleek styles beautifully but needs a little extra help holding curls or volume. If low-effort is the goal, most of the looks in easy Christmas hairstyles were built with straight hair in mind.
Christmas Hairstyles for Wavy Hair
Wavy hair is honestly the easiest texture to work with for the holidays, most of these looks just enhance what you’ve already got.
Christmas Hairstyles for Curly Hair
Curly hair holds shape and volume like nothing else, these styles are designed to work with your curl pattern, not flatten it out.
Christmas Hairstyles for Coily and Natural Hair
Natural, coily hair deserves styles that are actually written for it, not adapted from something else, and braided protective styles are usually the best place to start, I go much deeper on those in Christmas braided hairstyles.
Christmas Hairstyles for Short Hair
Shorter length doesn’t limit you nearly as much as you’d think, these looks prove a bob or lob can hold its own all season, and most translate directly for little ones too, see Christmas hairstyles for kids for the shorter-length versions.
