The holiday season is here! Whether you’re hosting, attending, or just relaxing this holiday, I have the hair help you need for a flawless, but functional look to rock this year!

HOSTS

When hosting a party, you will be the busiest bee in the nest that day. Cooking, cleaning, prepping. When it finally comes time for you to get ready, you do not want a complicated look that will take time away from things you could otherwise be doing. But you also want to be able to run around serving guests and hosting the party without worrying that a Bobby pin may break loose or that the hair spray won’t “extra hold” and everything in between. Try a slicked-back ponytail or an easy, but sophisticated, messy bun. Both are relatively easy to achieve and hold all day. They keep your hair out of your face, out of the food, and out of your guests’ way as you mingle and entertain.

GUESTS

Are you just attending the holiday shenanigans this season? Well, then feel free to amp up the look! Removing the pressure of hosting opens up a colossal amount of things you can attempt in your hair this season! It is no secret that big, bouncy curls are the hottest trend right now and would make the perfect accessory for your outfit this year. If curls aren’t your style or perhaps your length of hair prohibits this style of curling, give an edgy rocker pixie style vibe! With the edgy spikes and short blunt ends returning to the pixie cut, there is no time like the present 2023 holiday season to debut it!

DEEP CONDITION THIS HOLIDAY

Maybe you’re staying in with your family or have children around to help enjoy the magic that this season brings. But this season can also bring tremendous amounts of stress to people. If you are staying in and relaxing this holiday, try to keep your hair down. Constantly pulling back the hair can cause breakage and damage, so take a hair break! Deep condition your hair, grab your jammies, and settle on the couch for your favorite holiday movie and a snack, but let that hair be down and natural! Give your hair the gift of rest! Take this time to unwind, de-stress, and get ready for the upcoming year!

COLOR

Now that styles are out of the way, let’s talk color! Whether you’re going for an up-do, a bouncy curl, or an edgy pixie with bangs, the color is dark dark dark. As we come out of the warm browns we were loving in the fall, we head into some more cool brown tones. Throwing in some red or purple can be a game-changer as well and is highly popular right now! Maybe chopping your hair into a rockstar pixie cut with bangs is a little drastic for your holiday needs, so why not try the color option? It takes a little less time to correct if you hate the result, but I don’t think you will!

Regardless of your upcoming festivities, many trendy styling options are floating around but the main theme throughout them is to be comfortable. The time of hurting or being uncomfortable to look good is a thing of the past, and it looks like it won’t be ringing in the new year with us. And that is fine by me!
