There are a wide variety of beautiful hairstyles to choose from for the holidays. However, many individuals might feel limited in their hairstyle choices due to the length of their hair. The good news is that hair extensions are an affordable and easy way to add volume and length to achieve just about any hairstyle you can imagine. Here are four classy, beautiful hairstyles to use with hair extensions at any holiday party this season.
- The Braided Headband
This style involves weaving a braid around the base of your head and securing the ends in place out of sight. For a slightly messier, natural look, be sure to weave straight locks through the braid, securing them in place where they hang. For an even easier look, search for hair extensions and accessories that already achieve the braided look, allowing you to simply clip them in. You can also create a braid that weaves around the top of the head and sweep the rest of your locks into a formal updo such as a French twist. A clip-in braid makes the process easier. Use hair extensions longer than 16 inches for more flexibility with your updo options.
- Messy Updo
Using a volumizer on top and bobby pins to twist and secure smaller bunches of hair in place, create a messy updo that looks casual yet is formal enough to wear with an evening gown. Straight extensions are the perfect option if your hair is too short. Select extensions longer than 16 inches to have more hair to work with.
- Side-Swept Ponytail
Hairstyles don’t always have to be up and formal for every holiday gathering. A casual, side-swept ponytail looks beautiful with formal or casual wear. Just sweep all of your hair over to the side of your choice and secure the ponytail with a rubber band. For locks not long enough to reach over your shoulder and stay there, a clip-in ponytail does all the work for you—even securing your hair in place.
- Wavy Locks
It’s hard to go wrong with curly hair for any party. Using a warm curling iron, create wavy tresses to complement any outfit. Style your own straight extensions or choose ones that come wavy already to save you on time.
There are so many beautiful holiday styles out there, don’t be afraid to try them all. Affordable hair extensions make trying almost any style possible, and some even handle much of the styling process for you. Be sure to select quality products that can be used again and again for a truly wise investment.
