Whether you have long, short, or medium length hair, there will always be some “dos and don’ts” in everyday hairstyles. This goes for the holidays as well. We understand that everyone has their own style, and that’s okay! But just in case you’re wondering, we put together a list of hairstyles on the naughty and nice list for the holidays.
The Naughty List
The holidays are a time to dress up, look cute, and spend time with family. This time of the year almost always commands scarves, layers, and close-toed shoes. With that being said, updos don’t make a lot of sense. It’s not necessarily a fashion faux pas, but it’s contradictory to clothing styles and the weather. We aren’t fashion experts, but exposing your neck in the winter time sounds chilly! On the same kind of note, there are multiple ways to leave the heat, such as blow dryers and straighteners, off your healthy hair to avoid more damage.
For guys, it’s the same. Avoid the man bun. Not just because they’re so 2016 (and we’re almost to 2019), but because a tight man bun isn’t going to keep you warm! You could always scarf it up as well, but consider letting those locks flow like Santa’s glorious beard. However, if you somehow end up sticking with the man bun, don’t forget your toe socks and argyle sweater vest.
The Nice List
So. Many. Options. It’s actually hard to decide which hairstyle to go with if you’re leaving your hair down. With so many different styles appropriate for the holidays, what do you do? I’ve mentioned it already, but try to avoid the blow dryers and straighteners. When hair changes temperatures quickly and drastically, it becomes damaged, resulting in cracks, split ends, frizziness, and so forth. So that leads us to a natural drying beach look. Let your hair down and air dried for a wavy, relaxed look. Use bobby pins and clamps to style and texture the look into something like a half-up top knot or side swept bangs! My personal favorite
is the side braid. This look is elegant, simple, and healthy. Plus you still get that feeling of getting ready, even though it’s a quick do!
Gentlemen, a slick, short cut and style is both appropriate and sharp. Try a side-part with a low-shine pomade. Or you could go full Toby McGuire in Pleasantville and make it glisten! Next up, the messy look. This style fades in and out, and it has to be done right. Definitely don’t roll out of bed and go to Christmas lunch with the family. You’ll look sloppy. But a nice wax and some finger magic can make you look like Fight Club Brad Pitt. And that’s a Christmas gift anybody will want.
