Start with clean hair and apply a smoothing serum like the Goldwell StyleSign Smoothing Serum Spray for frizz control. Create a smooth, tight ponytail at the nape of your neck, then twist your hair into a bun, securing it with bobby pins. 

Finish with a spritz of Nak Fixation Finishing Spray to keep your updo in place throughout the night. A sleek updo is perfect for formal Christmas events or any occasion where you want to elevate your style. It’s also a great option if you’re rocking a bold lip or statement earrings! 

Messy Braids with a Holiday Twist 

Braids are always in style, and during the holidays, they can be given a festive flair! Try a messy braid with a few ribbons or small ornaments added for a whimsical touch. 

Start by applying ELEVEN Australia Keep My Curl Defining Cream if you have natural waves or curls. This will add texture to your hair and make the braid more voluminous. Create a loose, messy braid starting from the top or side of your head. If you're feeling festive, weave in a red or green ribbon, or clip in small, sparkly hair accessories from your local beauty store. 

Finish the look with O&M Desert Dry Volumising Texture Spray to hold the braid in place and add volume. Messy braids add a relaxed, boho vibe to your holiday look, and they’re great for both casual Christmas get-togethers and outdoor winter activities!

Finish by wrapping a section of your hair around the base of the ponytail and securing it with a bobby pin for that polished look. A high ponytail gives you that fresh, energetic vibe. Plus, it’s super versatile – you can pair it with festive hair accessories like a sparkly clip or even a bow to make it more holiday-specific.

Big, bouncy curls never go out of style, especially during the holidays. If you're looking to add a touch of glamour to your look, curling your hair will instantly elevate your Christmas outfit. 

Start by applying a curl-enhancing product like Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancer to damp hair.Use the Bondi Boost Clever Curler for defined curls. Wrap sections of hair around the barrel, holding each curl for a few seconds to lock in the shape. Once you’ve curled all your hair, lightly run your fingers through to soften the curls.  

Finish off with Joico JoiMist Firm Finishing Spray to lock in the curls and add shine. Curls add instant volume and a playful vibe to any holiday outfit. Plus, they last throughout the evening, making them perfect for late-night celebrations!
