How To: Holiday Hair

Happy Friday! Happy second day of winter! Happy day 23 of Blogmas. While you're reading this, I'll be making the 5-hour pilgrimage home for Christmas and my Brother's Christmas Eve wedding. I'll be attending parties and the wedding, so I'll need lots of hair style options. I thought I would share some of my ideas with you--these styles would be perfect for holiday parties, gatherings, or even New Year's Eve. Enjoy!
Loose Curls 
2 in curling iron and use this tutorial
Velcro Roller Curls
See tutorial here.
Poof & Pull 
Poof hair & pull back
Try this look instead.
Twist
Take 2 sections of hair and twist together. Secure with pins. If desired, repeat on other side.
Braided Headband
Take a section of hair behind the ear and braid.
 Bring through hair and over your head, like a headband. 
 Secure and repeat on the other side.
Braided Bun
Divide hair in half. Make 2 braids and pin in a bun.
Bun Behind Ear
Pull hair to one side and loop into a bun. Pin and add a pin/brooch.
Pony Pin
Pull hair to one side and fasten in a loose pony. Add a pin/brooch.
Check out another side pony here.

How do you wear your hair for the holidays?
Which style would you like to try?

    I tell you, if my hair were actually long enough to do anything with it I would so be all over these tutorials - I honestly can't even tell which look is my favorite. You've got gorgeous hair!

    My hair isn't too short but I don't have a lot of it so some of these are kind of a problem but they look great on you!

    Braided bun looks great. Having very long hair totally helps too.
    You look great.

    If I could ever get my hair to hold a curl like that, that's how I'd be wearing it.

    Lovely lovely styles. My vote is for the loose curls and braided bun. You're so good with hair, I can barely use a hairdryer, lol.
    P.S
    Just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas!
    May it be a blessed one filled with peace & prosperity.

    These look lovely, although my hair is way shorter and so such things don't always work for me.

    Have you seen the hair tutorials on A Cup Of Jo? They're also pretty awesome.
