Okay, December calendars are wild, office party, Christmas Eve dinner, a friend’s holiday gathering, sometimes all in the same week. Every single one of those deserves a hairstyle that actually looks like you planned it, and this is exactly the list I hand clients when they’ve got a party coming up and no idea what to do.
Party hair is where I get to have a little more fun than my everyday styles. Bigger volume, a little more shine, maybe an accessory, this is the category where you’re allowed to go all out. I grouped 25 of my most-requested Christmas party looks by the exact kind of event you’re dressing for.
Pick the one that matches your night, save it, and walk in knowing you’re the best dressed head in the room.
Office Party Hair
Polished but not over the top, this is what I recommend when you still have to see these people at work on Monday. If you want something even quicker to pull off before work, start with easy Christmas hairstyles and just add a shine spray.
Christmas Eve Dinner Hair
Family dinner calls for something a little softer and more classic, the kind of style that photographs well across an entire evening of pictures.
Girls’ Night Out Hair
This is where I let clients go bigger, more volume, a bold accessory, whatever makes them feel the most themselves for a night with friends. A statement braid works beautifully here too, I have more of those in Christmas braided hairstyles.
Family Photo Hair
You want something that holds for hours of pictures and still looks natural, not stiff. These are built to last a whole afternoon, and I’ve got texture-specific versions of most of them in Christmas hairstyles for every hair type.
New Year’s Eve Crossover Looks
These styles work just as well for your NYE plans, so if you’re not sure what you’re doing yet, these are the safest bet to book twice.
