The time of fairy lights and party events is demanding a bit of extra magic – and what better response than a new, head-twirling hairstyle? You have your Christmas presents wrapping, you are going to a party, or even having a cup of cocoa next to the fire, and your Christmas hairstyles should shine in the same way your favorite ornaments. Easy soft waves to creative updos and cute braids, all these looks are sophisticated and playful at the same time and at all times. Which appearance will, then, leave you as the protagonist at your next party vacation?
Golden Bauble Elegance
Something perennial about the soft waves blown into a big updo with festive ornaments glimmering like the Christmas lights. It is a glancing that is all about balance, organized but romantic, daring but classy. The accents of this beautiful design are in gold and green that gives regal touch and are ideal to the women who are fond of glamour but not excessive. Such innovative styling transforms even a plain black sweater into a party outfit and makes minimalism turn into a holiday miracle.
In order to make your updo slick and wet, I will always use the Fashion Work 12 Spray by Redken, which will hold everything in place and at the same time allow your hair to move naturally. Unless you want to create this at home, then you can wrap little parts around a curling wand and then secure them in place loosely by pinning them. It maintains that carefree, I just stepped out of a vacation film feel.
I have always thought that accessories can either buy or sell a hairstyle. This one is a brilliant example of the point, as you can use the same updo, replace the baubles with very small pins of pearls, or holly leaves, and the whole atmosphere is different.
Frosted Snowflake Waves
This old-fashioned snowflake clipped cascade of curls is winter magic. It takes in that fairy tale, airy feeling, the kind that would suit a wedding, a ball, or a family dinner. The long curly hair texture is also loose, giving it movement and lustre, which reflects all the twinkles of light. This one of those simple but gorgeous holiday accessories tells you in its silver snowflake whispers of snowflake magic, and you can use it on any outfit.
I prefer to use the Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil to keep the curls shiny and bouncy, a few drops before and after cooling down. Celebrity stylist Kristin Ess once remarked that shine is the accessory and she cannot be more correct. The glow truly is all with such styles.
And when you, too, have imagined a white Christmas-esque aesthetic without becoming an ice queen, this outfit is that in-between, soft, feminine and slightly ethereal. It is such a style that makes you feel as though in a snow globe.
Candlelight Glam Updo
Shiny hair in soft tendrils, glowing skin, and an undone bun, which nonetheless seems like you spent hours on it, that is what this Christmas hairstyle is all about. It is easy and beautiful and it suits every woman whose aim is to shine at dinner or date nights with an easy and elegant way. The golden shades of the hair are paired with the use of amber makeup and hanging crystal earrings which are combined with warm golden color.
I was once dressed similarly around the time of New Year and I can tell you: a loosely done updo like this is a winner using a can of texture spray. Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray is a game changer – it provides you with the sexy lived in lift that lasts for hours.
Something so casually romantic is this type of updo. It doesn’t scream “try-hard.” Rather it speaks of self-assurance the type of confidence that comes with being sure that you look good, yet you are too busy having fun and not thinking of who is looking.
Soft Silver Confidence
Something is powerful in the simplicity of natural sounds and this artistic combination of silver and peachy finishes demonstrates that age is no advantage to gorgeous style. The face is framed by the thick, curly layers that are graceful, confident, and welcoming. The vintage glamour explored by this aesthetic is an ode to your texture, maturity, and self-expression simultaneously.
Silver transformer Jack Martin, the stylist, constantly reminds customers that gray is not the lack of color, it is the wisdom. To maintain silver undertones, it is important to take care thus I would always recommend using Matrix Total Results So Silver Shampoo once a week to eliminate the brassy undertones.
This appearance is both celebratory and down to earth, a crown of a modern woman, which does not require any glitter to shine. It is to anyone who is willing to enter the holidays knowing fully who they are.
Classic Red Revival
Copper-rich color, bangs on the face, a twisty bun that is soft and slightly turned upside down this is a classic appearance with a twist of modernity, cuteness and a touch of vintage. It is ideal on teens or females who adore that carefree Parisian feel coupled with a trace of Christmas cheer. The red color is a beautiful shade when seen in the soft light and your hair would look like it was fresh out of the salon.
To sustain that radiant look through the winter months, I can recommend Pureology Reviving Red Shampoo – does not make the color fade and adds the moisture. Red hues fade quickly, particularly during cold seasons, and therefore weekly hydration masks are a must-have.
The appearance of this glance reminds of old Hollywood but perfectly fits the trends of Christmas 2025 hairstyles. It is evidence that the daring decisions are sometimes the most classic ones.
Holiday Copper Volume
Nothing can make the winter season immediately cheerier than this gorgeous copper updo, shinier than candlelight. The large curls are lightly secured back, forming a light and elegant shape that compliments women of all ages. It is that ideal blend of contemporary and vintage – classy enough to have a formal dinner on holidays, and informal enough to have a small evening party. Emerald earrings and classic makeup are a perfect match with the red undertones in the hair, and this is one of my favorite christmas hair styles of 2025.
To sustain that glossy copper look, I can always recommend the Pureology Color Fanatic Leave-In Spray. It maintains the color fresh, brings in hydration as well as shields the strands against heat, which any redhead understands is necessary. This is the same shade of my hair that I once dyed and a little bit of protection can go a long way keeping your luster as it works to dim in winter.
This hairdo addresses women who like that casual, vintage style. It is glossy but not cracking stiff an affair of the sort you may wear dancing under the mistletoe or on the champagne fireplace. All the strands appear to sing of vacation shine.
High-Shine Sleek Ponytail
There is nothing like celebrating power like a basic, but high glam ponytail. The smooth and shiny crown combined with big waves falling on the back of the head adds that film noir touch to your Christmas hairstyles collection. This appearance is exuded with confidence – this is ideal to teens or women who want to have a daring but simple party appearance that does not need hours of staring in the mirror.
And to achieve that glossy appearance, celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton (the man behind the locks of J.Lo and Kim Kardashian) is a consistent user of Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, and he is right. It provides that glassy look lasting all night and not weighting down the hair.
In this outfit, I will wear it with statement earrings, as in the look, to create a balance to the straight lines of the ponytail. It is a beautiful method of framing the face and displaying your neckline. Going to a downtown cocktail party or a holiday dinner- this ponytail will put you ten times better and make you feel very strong.
Modern Sleek Waves
This appearance reinvents the very concept of simple elegance with its minimalistic appeal, there is a low ponytail with smooth, curly ends that flow beautifully. The smooth crown perfectly juxtaposes the soft motion at the bottom, making this simple hairdo look cute and yet classy. It is evidence that all christmas hairstyles do not need to be extravagant because sometimes less is more.
To obtain that mirror-like finish, I tend to trace a little bit of the Moroccanoil Treatment Light through the middle of the lengths and ends. It takes the flyaways down and gives it that holiday glow. And with thin hair, the hairstyle is a game changer, the low tension keeps your hair healthy and gives the effect of fullness.
I have been wearing this type of smooth pony on those mornings where I have ten minutes to get ready and it never fails me. It seems to be pulled together and natural and, in my opinion, this is what modern holiday chic means.
Golden Minimalism
Restraint is beautiful, and this straight hairstyle can testify to it. Middle-parted, long, effortlessly flowing locks with gold accessories are a vibe of quiet luxury that is being seen everywhere at the moment. It is a cool, clean, and unapologetically self-assured look, perfect in women who like simple yet contemporary style over curls with high drama.
To keep such sleek hair, it is essential to have a good straightening balm. I would suggest Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream, as it does not grease up; instead, it smoothes, protects, and gives off the desired shine.
This type of hairstyle can always evoke in my mind evenings spent in candlelight and discussion – in an unobtrusive but compelling way. It also makes a great foundation of daring accessories: oversized gold hoops, velvet dresses, metallic nails. The best holiday concepts are sometimes the simplest ones.
Vintage Holiday Wave
The hairstyle itself has the vibe of an old Christmas movie, because it is comprised of soft vintage curls styled into a romantic updo, but with a modern, stylish twist. The golden-blonde color allows it to shine and the low frontal wave provides structure and sophistication. It is one of those christmas hairstyles that will never become out of fashion despite change in trends.
In order to maintain this appearance, I vow with Kenra Professional Volume Spray 25. It fixes those retro-waves without hardening them. Though, celebrity stylist Adir Abergel once remarked that volume and softness are not mutually exclusive, you should be able to balance the two. This style demonstrates that very well.
I really like this updo because it glorifies the individuality. You can be going out on a dinner date, you can be going out in a winter wedding, the type of hairstyle that you have makes you feel eternal. And is that not the true purpose of the holidays, to shine in your own, true way?
Frosted Mini Bun Glow
This topknot is minimal and so cute with a frosty vibe that everyone should wear during any Christmas party. The icy blonde hair combined with face-framing tendrils gives an appearance that is clean, modern and effortlessly chic. It is the final combination of casual elegance and holiday glitz the sort of relaxed style that appears to be purposeful even when hastily assembled. This bun is elevated and arranged in a way that provides the face with a young and light lift, thus it is a perfect accessory to any teen or woman, or anyone who enjoys less glamour, but with a magical touch.
I also really like OUAI Texturizing Hair Spray to provide the base with some more sticking power and then twist it into a bun. This deception gives grip and volume without crunching your strands. It is also good in thin hair, as it provides a slight volume enhancement that will make the bun look bigger.
Whenever I put on one of these kinds of dresses, I genuinely feel like I am emulating that effortlessly glamorous it girl vibe – the kind of person who enters any room and everyone asks how you manage to make something so basic look so beautiful. It is a winter favorite alright.
Romantic French-Inspired Updo
The hairstyle itself adds an image of timeless elegance a lightly-textured updo, cascading curls, and airy bangs, which perfectly flatter the face. It is this old fashioned French grace redefined in 2025: a blend of romance and confidence and a feeling of holiday warmth. It is one of those christmas hairstyles that are so easy and yet so special, especially when it comes to candlelit dinners, fancy parties, or even just a quiet night out with the loved ones.
The same soft bounce and feel is only maximized by Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray which provides the hair with an adequate spring and massage to attain this romantic look. And in the event that you have curly hair, then please, have those natural waves do all the work of it, and add to the shape such depth and volume that makes this updo even more charm-like.
This sort of unthought-of elegance has always appealed to me–and it can make you presentable without seeming to be made-up. Then there are some pearl or crystal earrings to add and you are instantly prepared to attend any holiday event.
Half Top Knot Glam
It is playfully irresistible about this half up half style. Combined with long and loose strands, the raised top knot is the right mix of smooth and easy-going – just like teenagers and women who desire to look at the right and wearable cutie at the same time. The style is seductive, assured and ideal when you have to come to the Christmas party in a few minutes and have to look stylish.
In the process of establishing this appearance, I prefer to apply Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo at the top, especially on the roots, to lift and provide volume, and then I twist the top front portion into a ball. This prevents its appearance of being flat and provides the remainder of the hair with that airy lived-in feel. In case of short haired people, it is an amazing idea of creating the effect of the hair being longer and full of movement but at the same time simple.
This style is also kind of nostalgic, the 2010s revival but on a higher level. It is cool enough to be desired by Gen Z, and classic enough to be desired by anyone.
Diamond Rope Ponytail
This is a shiny take on the classic ponytail, one that is designed to shine on stage. The high base and rhinestone wraps give it that sleek, futuristic look which would be ideal at dancing at a glamorous Christmas party or during a New Years Eve event. It is both classy and gorgeous, which confirms that accessories actually can turn a basic fashion into a statement.
In order to mimic this, take smooth blow-dried hair and spray GHD Bodyguard Heat Protect Spray after which use a flat iron to make it smooth. Next, tie the fine strands of rhinestone around the pony tail to give it the shimmering effect. This appearance is also ideal when using black bare casual hair textures as well- shiny lines always make sparkle more noticeable.
It is a hairstyle that exudes main character energy at first sight. This ponytail makes the perfect amount of dramatic event, no matter what you are wearing, a gown, or your favourite tailor made blazer.
Golden Hour Half-Up Waves
Soft, rippling waves and a loose half-up turn — this appearance is spicy holiday romance. The texture is light and vibrant, and it can be used by women with curly or wavy hair who prefer to have something in easy, warm and shiny. The twist placement also provides volume on the top of the crown, which is ideal in making that beautiful halo effect under twinkling Christmas lights.
I do this by applying Beach Club Volume Texture Spray by IGK that would add movement and definition. This product is a miracle on thin hair, because it gives the impression that all the strands are raised and full without being stiff.
This appearance is ever so welcoming. It is the kind of woman who wants her hair to tell her that she is relaxed, radiant, completely season ready. It could be brunch, date night, or an office party; this half up style goes perfectly with the warm shimmer of December.
Fiery Space Buns Charm
Irreverent, playful, moderately rebellious – these hot copper space buns are a whole new energy in Christmas hairstyles in 2025. It has the swagger of a trend-following aesthetic we have all felt exerting itself on TikTok and parties alike. The fringe is small enough to provide it with a cute edgy finish, and the two bun hairstyle provides ease but personality. It works best with teens or any other person who needs a unique twist on conventional updos. Even the color, that cozy orange-red shade, almost shines with the lights of Christmas fairy-tale, and completes the even the most plain outfit in a jiffy.
In this style, I will always suggest that one uses IGK Good Behavior Spirulina Protein Spray first and then proceed to style. It polishes and fortifies the strands and retains that glossy finish. And in case your hair is prone to frizziness or disarrangement, a light pomade will shape the buns so that they are just right.
This appearance is fun and self-confident. It states, I did not come to fit in. You are going to a crazy party or you are meeting a friend and drinking cocoa, and this hairstyle will ensure everyone is going to stare at you in the most desirable manner possible.
Classic Layered Shine
There are times when beauty is simple and this gorgeous layer cut serves as a demonstration. Feathered layers are also long and provide a soft touch and volume, particularly to thin-haired people who do not need any heavy make-up in order to have their hair move. It is that type of look that feels put-together, be it a heavy sweater or a sequin dress. That light volume of the hair gives out that carefree lustre that is ideal in all holiday occasions.
To keep this fluid consistency, I adore L’Oreal Professionnel Serie Expert Absolut Repair Oil, it is light, smooth, and leaves that silky post-salon touch. I tend to use some drops at the ends to keep it dry in winter.
It is this type of hairdo that I resort to when I am in need of a hairdo that is easy, simple, and silently confident. No extra fuss is needed, the movement alone renders it to sparkle.
Soft Balayage Volume
This is a half up half layered curly blow out that defines cozy elegance. The delicately tinsel-like balayage through the strands captures the light, the banging curtain gives the effect of the most exquisitely soft, face-framing, and it looks like a tinsel curtain in swinging motion. It is easily romantic and suitably good to use by individuals who desire their christmas hairstyles to be natural but beautiful.
Colorist Tracey Cunningham, frequently repeats the mantra of how dimension is the new blonde, and this style has the same essence. As a way of preserving the highlights, I would recommend Redken Blondage High Bright Conditioner, which adds a fresh tone and preserves the shine.
Whenever I do this to my hair, I experience an immediate pick-up; both emotionally and physically. It frames the face beautifully, moves with grace and even the most basic makeup can appear elevated.
Short Hollywood Waves
Vintage, cool, and somewhat sultry, this retro hairstyle is part of the short wave hairstyle, but it still exudes that Old Hollywood-modern twist. The sleek, curly hair texture and shape gives a beautiful figure that definitely suits short-haired women. The waves are small enough to have definition and soft enough to scoop the light naturally, which makes it a best seller as an evening party.
My favorite is GHD Curve Soft Curl Iron followed by Olaplex No.6 Bond Smoother to achieve non-frizzy hair. It works best on thin hair as well its curls are full of fullness and depth that lasts hours.
This appearance recalls the old movie-theater glamour, as of a black-and-white Christmas movie. I like it combined with metallic jewelry or having a red lip – it is all about classic confidence.
Frosty Pixie Confidence
Minimalistic holiday style is the quintessence of this chic, sharp, ultra-modern platinum pixie cut. It is meant to suit women who enjoy a daring, effortless, and imaginative style low humble and extremely expressive. The layers are very short and reflect the light and shinify the features of the face and make it have that winter shimmer. It is also one of the christmas hairstyles that is both strong and feminine.
This is what celebrity stylist Sally Hershberger, who has popularized short cuts, has been known to say, Short hair is about attitude, not age. I couldn’t agree more. I apply Fanola No Yellow Shampoo once a week to preserve the icy look because the shampoo preserves the platinum cool and crispy but does not make it dull.
Something all too liberating about spending the holidays short. Such a simple, beautiful and aesthetic cut says enough without any added accessories such as confidence and possibly a little sparkle in your earrings.
Copper Curl Perfection
This is a bold and gorgeous copper appearance that is worth any one who is willing to make heads turn at every Christmas party this season. The curly hair is so full-bodied, so deep and rich, that it is like a glow of firelight, and makes serious holiday drama in the best sense of that term. The form is volumetric- round, light, unashamedly assertive. It is a hairstyle that is both vintage and brutally fashionable at the same time with its movie-star shape and intense red color.
In order to maintain those curls in place without being hard, I cherish Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream. It de-hydrates and stays bouncy, leaving all the ringlets touchable. And, in case you have curly hair as it comes, it is a low-fuss indicator of letting your hair shine, no fancy hairstyling required, just volume, moisture, and confidence.
This is my favorite winter party dress as it does not require any accessories to be festive in any way, since its color is festive enough in itself. The curls are light bouncers and that natural inbuilt touch of glamour that matches best with velvet dresses, dramatic lips or gold jewels.
Winter Halo Curls
Angelic, sweet, and movable – these sunny curly blonde hair are actually suited to both Christmas mornings and candlelit dinners. This glance gives the impression of lightness, almost like all the curls have caught a snowflake in the air. The curls are well-defined but carefree, with a natural breezy, adorable, and admittedly aesthetic vibe that is refreshing and gleeful.
In the case of this kind of curly hair, I always apply SheaMoisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie to my hair- it is not heavy but still maintains curls, without frizzing even on blistering winter days. It also works very well with the kids that have braids or other natural hair that require a little more attention during cold weather.
So careless is something about this look– so festal, yet not too overdone. Wearing it, however, I would most likely wear it with pearl earrings or a cashmere sweater to allow the curls to do the talking.
Glamour Cascade Waves
It is holiday hair at its finest, long, full, streaming down like molten chocolate. The caramel undertones are soft and shiny and the side unleaves that old fashioned movie star glitz. It is among the most classy christmas hairstyles this year, ideal to women, who are into a blend of drama and shine.
In a bid to accomplish this amount of shine, I apply Kérastase Elixir Ultime L H uile Originale Hair Oil prior to curling. It tames and straightens frizz, gives the waves body and shine. To make thin hair appear thicker a light volumizing mousse at the roots makes it sound weightless.
I always feel more poised as soon as I have long waves like this on, it is like putting on your favorite dress. It is that ideal combination of undress style and high impact glamour, and it is indeed one of those things that can never go wrong.
Cinnamon Balayage Glow
The warm winter tones are something so reassuring and the warm cinnamon balayage gives the fireside glow to life. The loose waves are soft, and falling in love with them is quite simple. It is casual yet glamorous, and is also good when one wants to get simple and beautiful ideas that are perfect with women. The transition between chocolate and copper is soft and effective, and suits all skin tones.
In order to maintain the depth of colors, I would always recommend Pureology Hydrate Sheer Shampoo – this is soft on the shade and maintains the moisture level on the high side. Spray it on and then curl it and you will have that feelable finish the entire season.
This appearance is practical, such as what you would put on during a walk through snow in the evening or a quiet coffee by the fire. It is celebratory but not trying too hard, simply, pure, radiant hair that speaks its own language.
Midnight Blue Bob
To conclude the high note, this glossy bob with blue accents is a complete showstopper. One of the bravest christmas hairstyles of 2025: daring and still fancy, playful and irrefutably stylish. The low navy accents are starving out like glimpses of winter twilight, adding depth and enigma. It suits best the women who appreciate innovative, easy and slightly defiant concepts that look elegant.
To maintain colored hair shiny and healthy, I apply Joico Color Balance Blue Shampoo – it gives the hair more vibrancy and ensures it lacks dullness. A dab of serum prior to styling and the color virtually shines under the sunshine of a holiday.
This appearance is a prompt that there is nothing so traditional as festive. Magnificence Sometimes, the most beautiful appearances come as a result of some nerve and much character. It is daring, it is contemporary, and it is completely memorable, as the holidays are supposed to be.
Christmas hairstyles are not just about sparkle, they are about personality, warmness and confidence, as is demonstrated in the trends of this year. You may be more of a minimalist and prefer easy hairstyles, or you could be more of a statement making fashion designer, but the point is to make your hair feel like a part of you. A lemon of glitter, a drop of mellow, or a burst of bewitching color, and you are already shining brighter than the decoration on the tree.
Get out there now and pick one of these beautiful thoughts, rent your curling wand or styling gel and make a moment of magic all your own this season. Anyway, the most beautiful thing of all is a kind of beauty that makes you feel like you belong, in your own skin, in your hair, in your shimmer.
