Life is all about balance. Wearing sweatpants under your body and a nice head of hair on top, eating a healthy meal, eating a sweet treat, or working out at home sweaty after a lazy day is all about finding the right balance this holiday season to help maintain a sense of normalcy. This also applies to holiday costumes – this holiday season is about cuteness and comfort, and you’ll find the right look for everything from movie marathons to spontaneous holiday parties.
This year’s holiday season looks a lot different. While it’s been a year of ups and downs and unpredictability, if you’re like us, you’ve experienced every emotion in the book. There may not be a big holiday party that requires you to dress up, but you can still change your look to suit a different mood this holiday season.
Try these styles with the help of hair extensions to make any hairstyle look possible this holiday season.
1. When you want to dress up on the couch
Fluffy waves paired with a vintage headband
Put on our loose, wavy clothes and head to the only place we want to be this holiday – the couch. Whether you’re lounging on the sofa enjoying a wine-filled holiday Zoom hang, a holiday movie marathon, or taking some rest after baking cookies, your soft waves will make you feel fun, flirty, and intense.
We love iconic blogger Sasha Exeter’s fluffy waves, the classic center part, and Olivia’s crocheted headband.
Tip: Use a luxury curler for perfect fluffy curls.
1. When you go
Messy bun
Nothing says “over it, but love it” like effortlessly putting all your hair up in a big bun.
What will you do when you reach the point where you just finished? Put your hair in a bun. Bunheads can be sleek, chic, or messy – you can style them however you want.
When your hair isn’t done the next day or isn’t exactly what you want it to be, pulling it up in a bun is the perfect solution. Buns are the ideal #wfh or #hfh(Going out for the holidays) look because they help keep your hair out of your face and require minimal time and effort.
Tip: Get creative and use hair accessories such as scrunchies, headbands, or bobby pins to elevate the bun.
1. When you feel loved
Romantic bun with side braids
Has your significant other surprised you by telling you they’re bringing home delicious takeout or toppings to make a delicious home-cooked meal? Sounds like you need more time to be ready for date night. On the plus side, with an updo, you can worry less about your hair and spend more time looking forward to natural enjoyment.
An updo can be beautiful and elegant, but it can also be casual or edgy – depending on how you accessorize and complete the look. The best part about quick and easy updos is that they look great and can be done in no time.
Tip: For late-night fun with your significant other, tie a braid to the sides of your hair or complete the look with a sexy “midnight” hair accessory.
1. When all you want to do is watch the Grinch in your Christmas pajamas
Long, smooth braids
What’s better than curling up on the couch under a cozy blanket when it snows outside? We don’t think so. There’s nothing like a Grinch, gingerbread cookies, and candy canes to get in the Christmas spirit – with a few cute braids.
We love these long, sleek ponytails with two clip-on extensions to add instant length.
Tip: Divide your braid into two sections to give it more shape; braid them and add different pieces. It’s very creative!
1. When you decide to go on vacation
Gritty waves
On this holiday, go home with relaxing beach waves that give you a summery feeling. The holidays are often associated with snow, but as much as we love snow, it’s also a great relaxing time. There’s nothing more relaxing than a hairstyle that reminds you of soaking up the sun. If your hair needs extra volume, hair extensions are the quickest and easiest way to lengthen and thicken your hair in no time.
Tip: Wet your hair, braid it for a few hours or overnight, then take the braid off and try surfing on a beach without heat.
1. When you face an existential crisis
Front frame braids
Braids are a must for almost any occasion – whether it’s a walk in the park or a walk into church, braids are the most versatile hairstyle. So, braids will always get you through if life gets a little too much this holiday season.
While we love the classic French braid, Dutch braid, or waterfall braid, we’ve also fallen for the latest braid trend – framed face braid. Like the new facial contour accentuating trend, this one is about bringing it back to the ’90s, and here we are.
Tip: Keep your braids very tight so they don’t fall apart throughout the day. Hairspray is also a great way to stay flowy unless you’re going for a looser, more relaxed look.
1. When you feel like celebrating at the last minute
Barajas combed his ponytail
There’s nothing worse than rushing to prepare an emergency at the last minute. So what do you do when your friends want to throw a last-minute New Year’s party?
A sleek ponytail is one of the most stylish and easy ways to put your hair in a ponytail without washing it. Pull your hair back (it will shine on the second or third day) and tie it in a high ponytail. Smooth out all the bugs, and no one will know it took you less than 10 minutes to prepare for a last-minute virtual celebration.
Tip: Choosing a ponytail can add color to your ponytail – no staining or destruction required – and take your ponytail to the next level with an anti-gravity headband.
1. When you decide to make a real effort
Luxury hair signature curls with halo extensions
We also love wearing the same sweatpants and messy bun for five days, but sometimes you must dress up and remind yourself that these times will pass. Ready for a Zoom party or remote gathering to plan together from the start of the season? Luxy Hair’s signature curl is here to save the day. What makes our curls so unique, you ask? They are the perfect relaxed girl curls – bouncy, S-shaped, soft, and complete, with a glossy finish.
Tip: Add a set of halo hair extensions to get longer, fuller hair in just three quick steps. Complete with luxurious hair signature curlers for perfect signature curling days and at night.
