10 Holiday Hairstyles to Inspire You

Keep reading to get inspired by the hottest trends of the season, styled in a way that is fit for the holiday season.

1. Balletcore Updo

This understated updo is perfect for any holiday occasion.

Channel the balletcore trend into your holiday looks with an elevated ballerina-inspired updo. Create a center part in your hair and use a hairbrush to comb the hair back into a high ponytail. Coil the ponytail around the base of the style and use bobby pins to secure the bun. This style depends on an undone finish, so skip the styling products and let it shine as-is.

2. High Shine Lob

Add a high shine finish to your style.

Prep your hair with Dove Hair Therapy Brilliant Gloss Repair + Ceramide Serum to ensure a high-shine finish. This ceramide-infused formula is ideal for damaged and color-treated hair but works well for all hair types! A shiny style is perfect for the holiday season.

3. Feathered Ends

4. Easy Volume

This pop of red is super trendy.

Red is officially the color of the season! Wearing a red bow in your hair is a low-stakes way to get in on the trend.
