Tinseled Box Braids
If you have time to visit your braider during this busy season—or have the skills to braid your own textured hair—box braids are a stunning holiday style. Since this versatile protective style can last six to eight weeks with the proper textured hair products and care, your braids can keep you radiant and holiday-party-ready.
Whether you wear your braids down, gather them into an elegant topknot, or style them into a glamorous pony, add a touch of holiday cheer by weaving in gold braiding string. With a glimmering touch of gold, you can achieve a tinseled holiday glow all season long.
Lovely Wrapped Bun
With this classic updo, you’ll look like the best-wrapped gift this holiday season. This style is excellent for locs or braids and pairs with a full-glam look or a toned-down style. Simply pull your hair back and secure it at the nape of your neck. Then, wrap your locs or braids around the base of your low pony to create a simple, chic bun. Secure your look with pins, and pull one or two face-framing locs or braids out.
Since hydrated and happy hair is the key to nailing any look, keep your hair nourished with high-quality protective styling or loc maintenance products. Spritz a rosewater silk spray over your textured strands before styling to give them a lustrous, rejuvenating boost of hydration, and get ready to turn heads at those holiday parties.
Adorned Bubble Braid
For a hairstyle that’s perfectly playful and elegant, try a decorated bubble braid. This easy-to-achieve style can be worn in countless ways, making it easy to personalize. Whether you wear one braid or multiple, create small or large bubbles, or adorn your braids with metallic, pearled, or colorful clips is up to you, even though the foundational steps of making this look are the same.
Grab a moisturizing styling cream, multiple hair elastics, and a lightweight hold product. Comb a small amount of styling cream throughout your strands to smooth flyaways and add moisture. Gather your hair into a ponytail (or ponytails) and add your desired number of elastics down the shaft. Puff your bubbles by pulling gently on each section of your pony, and secure your style with a long-lasting hold product. Finally, adorn your bubble braid with eye-catching ornaments such as cuffs, clips, or hairpins for a glittery, festive style.
With these three hairstyle ideas, you can look and feel radiant throughout the holiday season.
