Office parties, family get-togethers, celebrations with friends; Christmas is an action-packed time of the year when you always want to look your best. There are only a couple more weeks of early mornings and cold commutes to go before Christmas Day arrives. Just the thought of all that turkey, champagne, mistletoe, and family fun is enough to get even the grumpiest among us grinning.
You might have had your outfit planned since July and your eye on a dazzling new pair of heels since forever, but there is one big question though; what hairstyles are you going for, for all those Christmas parties? The festive season is a great chance to glam up and try something different, so be bold and choose a style which is guaranteed to turn heads this Christmas.
Need a little inspiration this festive season? We’ve got you covered; we’ve listed some of the best DIY Christmas party hairstyles to get your glam going-out hair in minutes.
Statement Clips
From pearl bobby pins and pearl encrusted clasps, to bejewelled clips and crystal slides, statement hairclips are having a bit of a moment and that’s not changing anytime soon. They are the easiest way to turn your daytime office hair to chic Christmas party hair instantly. Let your hair do the talking with slogan barrettes, opt for an elegant touch with pearl embellished clips, or channel your inner cool girl and stack a few bobby pins in a criss-cross pattern one side of your hair. Whatever your style, these gorgeous hair clips will transform your look with minimal effort.
Get into the Christmas spirit and adorn your hair with some festive inspired statement clips.
The Oversized Braid
This wonderfully romantic braid is designed to keep long hair together, whilst also allowing it to fall freely and look rather fantastic, all at the same time! It’s a very soft and feminine style, plus, it’s ideal for girls with shorter locks too – just pick up a super 24 inch hair extension and use it to add lustrous length and volume.
Brushed Out Curls
Opt for something a little simpler and focus on the shine and vigour of beautiful, bouncing curls. To introduce a very loose and relaxed curl, sleep in 2-4 large rollers overnight and then gently brush the hair out in the morning. This is a very low maintenance style, so if you’re too busy planning the Christmas party or dinner to think about your hair, it could be a great choice.
The Sophisticated Side Sweep
If the bohemian beach babe look is more your style, go for this ‘cool as you like’ side sweep. This is a youthful and fun style, so it is perfect for the party season. It’s also super simple to put together; just brush your tresses out in the morning, then create a precise and (very) straight side parting, with all of your hair swept loosely over one shoulder.
The Quickfire Pony
At ClipHair, we believe that the perfect Christmas party hairstyle shouldn’t have to involve a tonne of work and effort. The last thing that you want is to be kept from your presents any longer than necessary, after all. So, why not go for a simple style like this classic and easy to create pony? Even if you feel you don’t have the volume of hair, you can simply grab yourself one of our clip-in ponytail extensions. It looks sleek, chic, and contemporary, and it won’t get in your eyes when it comes time to dig into turkey or dance to Christmas classics with your grandparents.
The Choppy Bob
If you want to save your clip in hair extensions for the New Year celebrations and stick with a pared down look on Christmas Day, you could always rock this wonderfully textured bob – it’s feminine and funky, but not overly sweet. It certainly has a bit of a rock chick vibe to it and you can really play with it, by using your hands to create crunchy curls and twists – spritz with strong hold hairspray for maximum staying power.
The Braided Crown
For the ladies who would never dream of putting anything but 110% into your hair at Christmas, there is the majestic and dazzling braided crown. This style can be a little tricky, so you might want to draft in the help of a friend or, at least, practice a little before a big party or dinner. You can either create one braid or two – the double braided look is even more sophisticated but requires more work. Once you have twisted your tresses into tight braids, wind them gently around your crown and clip in place with strong hair grips. Then, spritz with hairspray and you’re ready to go.
