Here Are 4 Easy Hairstyles You Can Wear To All Your Holiday Parties

Christmas and New Year's Eve are just a couple of days away, but before that and in between are tons of holiday get-togethers and parties enough to fill our calendars up 'til the fireworks pop!

We've got our makeup ideas down pat, our wardrobes are set, how about your hair? Planning to show up a tad bit more glammed up than the usual? You've come to the right place. If changing your hair to a daring color isn't your cup of tea, a few tweaks to your hairstyle will do the trick!

Ahead, a pro-styled selection of holiday hairstyles you can totally do at home. Celebrity hairstylist Mong Amado helped create these looks inspired by runway looks we've loved from seasons back—still as hot as ever this season! Check it out, screencap it, and take a look at some of our product recos to help you get the look too! 

Barrette Babe

Resurrect the barrettes of your teen years à la this 'do from the Christian Siriano runway and don not one but more than three at a time to give life to your otherwise usual ponytail! We recommend texturizing your long locks before doing so, to create even more dimension to the look! The messier, the better! Get the look:

Choked Up

We saw a new way to channel the 90s at a Jonathan Simkhai runway show, where models donned chokers not just on their necks (that’s predictable), but over their messed-up hair. We say take it a notch further for romantic occasions and tie a black grosgrain ribbon over your locks for a sweet touch! Get the look:

Twist and Shout

Romantic hairstyles will always be on-trend, and playing around with twists and braids are always a great option. We saw this look at a Fall/Winter Brock Collection show and got immediately smitten by its ease and femininity. Save for pixie-cut girls, we recommend this look to women looking to donning an effortlessly chic look for day or night. Get the look:

We’ve been big fans of the messy bun for quite a while now, and one of our favorites was from the Chanel F/W ’18 show at Paris Fashion Week where messiness took center stage. We love the contrast between a put-together outfit and an undone top bun like this, where texture and stray strands of hair are the definition of chic! Don't overthink this one—just bun it up, let the stray ends loose, add a bit of product, and off to the party you go! Get the look:
