The holiday season is here, and we all know what that means. Parties galore, festive lunches, office functions, annual events… So it’s essential to get your holiday hair just right.

Whether your hair’s long, short, or somewhere in between, let’s take a look at the most in vogue holiday hairstyles that’ll perfectly suit all occasions—from the smartest of cocktail or dinner parties through to killer-looks for crazy nights out with your BFF…

1. The High Pony

One of the easiest styles to achieve, the high ponytail oozes style, accentuates cheekbones, and perfectly complements the simplistic, drop-dead-gorgeous statement outfit. Dry, smooth, tame flyaways with a little oil, and you’re ready to wow your public.

It’s also possible to create the look with hair extensions, meaning everyone can rock the vibe no matter what length their locks might be right now.

2. The Modern Lob

The lob provides so many options, and we love the sleek sexy look the most. Team an off-center parting with flat-ironed ends and a sparkly clip and boom! You’re ready to party…

3. Vintage Waves

Glam up your curls and do it big! We’re talking uber-large waves for that old-school movie star appearance with a contemporary touch. Curling your tresses inwards towards your face gives this retro style the 21st-century innovation it needs to be bang on-trend. Add a further nod to the festive season with a glittering hairpin and you’re good to go.

4. The Christmas Bun

Ease and elegance combined, a low-slung bun is simply created using artful turns and twists, and secured with pins. The perfect hair-do when you’re short on time—such as those impromptu after-work drinks or last-minute plans that necessitate the quickest of makeovers.

5. The Fishtail Braid

Want a look that appears to have taken mucho-effort and will surely turn heads? Then look no further than the fishtail braid. OK, so it takes a little practice, but once mastered is simple to achieve. Ask your hairstylist to show you how and you’ll be tooled-up to create a sultry statement look that dresses up outfits from casual to glam. Plus you’ll win huge kudos with the perceived amount of effort everyone will assume you’ve gone to.

6. Perfect Pearls

Pearls aren’t just for jewelry you know. They make an amazing addition to holiday hair. The simplistic look works best, so sleek your tresses back into a low ponytail and string those beauties from the crown to the base of the tail. Don’t forget a little oil to tame any flyaway stragglers and the look is complete. This style works amazingly with a low backed dress, minimal bling, and beautifully accentuated cheekbones. Quite simply, elegance personified.

When it comes to the ultimate holiday hairstyle it’s key to have two or three in your repertoire. Savvy ladies know that the key to that perfect ‘do’ is a little pre-planning. Checking in with your hairstylist for some cheeky advice and a demo or two is a great ploy, as is booking an appointment with leading hair salon in Boca Raton, Dapper & Divine for the moment when you need the pro-approach hit that perfect sweet spot.
