Listen, can we talk about holiday hair for a second?

Because here's the thing: holiday hair has become simplified yet timeless, and honestly, it HAS to make a statement. We all know around the holidays, our hair is a signature piece to our outfit. It's our family photos. It's the holiday cards we send out every year. It's the unforgettable memories going into the new year, because somebody definitely snapped a photo of it. 

Holiday hair can look like a party, a gathering, a night out, or a family tradition.

WHAT’S HOLIDAY HAIR REALLY ABOUT?

We can dive into current hair trends and call it holiday hair, but real talk? I think holiday hair is truly about how you feel during the holidays and what's really going on in your life.

What's popular right now? It's the sleek buns with those soft turtlenecks, soft waves with the party dress, or that effortless at-home look with your favorite holiday fit. Holiday hair is definitely a statement, and that's never gonna change.

THE TIMELESS MOVE: THE MODERN CHIGNON

A timeless holiday look right now is the modern chignon – that knotted bun that sits right below the crown of the head. It's a structured updo that has a bold statement, but yet looks so sophisticated, classy, and effortless. It is truly one of those looks that probably will never go out of style in general, but will definitely always stick around during the holidays.

The biggest question is: does it turn heads? 

Well, I think so, because in order to see that classic modern chignon, you kind of have to turn your head. LOL, okay, but no for real! You DO have to turn your head in order to see the goodness in the structure of that modern chignon bun.

THE HOLIDAY PROTECTIVE STYLE (not what you think!)

Sometimes the holidays move so fast you need ONE style to get you through everything. I call this the holiday protective style – but it's not about protecting your hair, it's about protecting your time.

Holiday protective hair is glamorous hair: extensions, color, and longevity. It's that look you get during the holiday season, hoping it'll carry you through Christmas and New Year's. 

Although this hair may require styling, it's minimal – something you only have to do for the actual holiday or a party. These looks are usually variations of extensions, or just a fresh new look that you wanna keep up all the way through New Year's.
