Whether it’s a crisp walk in the park or a casual Christmas gathering, this hairstyle is both trendy and practical.
Winter Waves
Long, luxurious winter waves are a must for anyone braving the cold in style. Beautifully crafted waves or dramatic cascading curls are the ideal hairstyles to wear with a hat, and pair beautifully with knitted beanies and fluffy earmuffs, keeping you warm while also looking super cute. Before you head out, remember to prep your hair with our Heat Protection Spray and style using your preferred tool, whether it’s a pair of straighteners, curling tongs or a hair waver.
Sleek and Straight
For a timeless look that’s sleek, straight, and totally on-trend, try a platinum blonde finish using our 20” Seamless Clip-Ins. This hairstyle is all about keeping your hair polished and shiny with a smooth, glassy finish, no matter how the weather turns out. After straightening your hair, brush through thoroughly with our Detangling Hairbrush and apply a generous amount of our Moisturising Silky Spray to ensure a frizz-free finish. Even in the damp winter air, you’re guaranteed to be the star at the top of the tree.
Festive Fishtail Braid
Turn heads with a festive braid perfect for holiday gatherings. Whether it’s Christmas, New Year’s Eve or further down the line, this braid is everything a winter hairstyle should be! Start with a low ponytail and gather two sections from either side of your head, twisting them until they meet at the back. Secure with pins, repeat below, and braid into the ponytail for a layered fishtail look. Gently tug at the final braid for extra volume and that effortless, messy finish. Our 22” Seamless Clip Ins in Barbie Blonde create an effortlessly fuller braid. Finish with a red bow or sparkling clip for a magical, festive touch.
Half Up Half Down
Perfect for blending practicality and style, this half up, half down look keeps your hair away from your face while showcasing your length.

This look is ideal for winter dinners or wrapping up presents by the fire, giving you a sophisticated yet comfy holiday vibe. To make sure your hair stays put, try pin curling your hair into sturdy tight curls to combat wind and bad weather.
