 Cozy Sweaters & Casual Gatherings

When you’re headed to a low-key holiday gathering or a casual night in with friends, you want a style that looks relaxed yet intentionally pretty.

Soft, lived-in waves for effortless movement

Textured ponytail with face-framing pieces

Low Loose Braid for a fun touch

These styles pair beautifully with chunky knits, warm neutrals, and all your comfy holiday sweaters. Plus, they photograph so well, think cozy, glowy, and perfectly undone.

 Cocktail Dresses & Evening Parties

For holiday soirées, dressy dinners, and nights where you want to feel extra glamorous, elevate your look with bold, polished styles.

Glam Hollywood waves with high shine

A sleek, snatched ponytail for a modern edge

A voluminous blowout for full-body movement

These looks bring drama in the best way and add a luxurious finish to satin dresses, sparkly minis, or elevated eveningwear. They’re also ideal for anyone wanting a timeless, camera-ready moment.

Office Parties & Professional Events

You want polished, chic, and put-together, without going over the top.

A smooth, classic blowout (always a winner)

A low, sleek bun for sophistication

Polished soft curls for a subtle touch of glam

Professional looks should feel clean and intentional, making these styles perfect for blazers, tailored outfits, or any festive work attire.

 Outdoor Holiday Events & Winter Activities

Outdoor dinners, holiday markets, tree lightings, the cold weather requires styles that hold up.

Braided crowns to fight wind and frizz

Low textured buns that stay sleek under hats and scarves

These styles stay in place while still giving you that festive, effortless winter aesthetic.

Sparkly, Bold, or Statement Outfits

If your outfit is doing the most, your hair should complement, not compete.

Sleek center part + straight glass hair

Minimalist low ponytail

Clean, soft waves

These styles balance out sequins, metallics, bright colors, or bold accessories while still making you look like you stepped out of a holiday editorial.

Cozy Pajamas & At-Home Celebrations

Even if you’re staying in, a touch of glam can make the night feel special.

Loose brushed-out waves

A quick smoothing blowout

Simple messy bun styles

Perfect for family traditions, holiday baking nights, or snapping those cute Christmas morning photos.
