Holiday Hair: Easy, Chic Styles to Sleigh the Season

The holidays are here, and you know what that means—gatherings, parties, and countless photo ops! Whether it’s a cozy dinner with family or a glamorous New Year’s Eve bash, your hair deserves to shine just as bright as the holiday lights. At Ra'pôr Salon & Barber, we’ve rounded up our favorite easy, chic holiday hairstyles to make sure you’re feeling fabulous and festive all season long.

1. The Sleek Ponytail: Simple Elegance

Let’s start with a classic. A sleek ponytail is timeless, polished, and perfect for everything from office parties to last-minute gift shopping. Smooth your hair back with a little shine serum (we love Davines OI Oil for that glassy finish), secure it with a chic hair tie, and wrap a small strand around the base for an extra touch of glam. Add a bold lip, and you’re holiday ready in under 10 minutes!

2. Soft Waves: Romantic and Effortless

Nothing says holiday chic like soft, bouncy waves. They’re romantic, flattering, and perfect for cozying up by the fireplace. Use a large-barrel curling iron or wand for loose curls, then run your fingers through them for that effortless vibe. Finish with a spritz of Davines This Is a Medium Hairspray to keep them in place without feeling crunchy.

3. The Half-Up, Half-Down Bow Look: Adorable Meets Sophisticated

Why choose between up or down when you can have the best of both? A half-up, half-down style is easy to create and looks great on everyone. For a festive twist, tie a velvet ribbon or holiday-inspired bow around the base of your ponytail. It’s playful, stylish, and guaranteed to rack up the compliments.

4. The Low Textured Bun: Chic and Cozy

For those ultra-fancy occasions (or when you just want to look like you tried way harder than you did), go for a low textured bun. Start with a side or middle part, pull your hair into a low ponytail, and twist it into a loose bun at the nape of your neck. Pin it in place, leaving a few face-framing pieces out. It’s elegant, quick, and pairs beautifully with statement earrings.

5. Curtain Bangs and Face-Framing Pieces: Let Your Fringe Do the Work

If you’re rocking bangs or shorter layers, let them be the star of your holiday look. Blow-dry them for volume, curl the ends lightly, and let them frame your face for that effortlessly cool vibe. Pair with a sleek blowout or messy bun—either way, you’re golden.

6. Add a Little Sparkle: Hair Accessories That Wow

When in doubt, sparkle it out! From rhinestone-studded barrettes to glittery headbands, the holidays are the perfect excuse to add a little bling. Not only do accessories elevate your look, but they’re also a lifesaver for those “I don’t have time to wash my hair” days. (We won’t tell if you don’t.)
