The Best Winter Hairstyles for Your Seasonal Coats

1. The Shag

Opt for a throwback hairstyle this season and consider bringing back the shag. This easygoing style serves as the perfect contrast to a structured coat or jacket. It maintains a casual and laidback vibe in the face of clean lines and menswear-inspired collars. Simply spritz damp hair with Love Beauty and Planet Light Hold & Frizz Control Coconut Milk & White Jasmine Hair Spray. This texture spray will give your shag the perfect amount of messy movement.

4. Natural Curls

Winter is a time when we need all the hydration we can get. Choosing your natural hair as your signature winter hairstyle allows you to leave the overprocessing for warmer months and take care of your strands in the cold weather.

5. A Simple Style

When in doubt, fall back on a classic and simple style. A center part and air-dried texture helps you nail that coveted French girl style. A classic trench is the ideal pairing for this classic look.

6. Messy Curls

Where do I begin with this look? With the burnt orange button-down, structured denim jacket, or the statement belt? Sign me up. These loose, messy curls are the perfect finishing touch. Start off by prepping your hair with Dove Style+Care Smooth and Shine Heat Protection Spray to protect your strands before you curl. Grab your favorite curling wand and add scattered curls throughout your hair. Run your fingers through each curl before it completely cools to add that messy feel.

7. The Classic Low Pony

I am a firm believer that no closet is complete without some faux fur. Pair this dramatic piece with a classic low ponytail to make the look daytime appropriate.

8. Brushed Back

As I mentioned above, this winter-friendly outfit formula allows your outerwear to do most of the talking. Finger comb your hair back into a messy ponytail and let your statement jacket take center stage.

9. Messy is the New Chic

Leave your overcomplicated styling routine for warmer months and steal some extra time in the warmth of your bed before stepping out into the chilly weather. Let your curls run wild with no product or special styling techniques.

10. Subtle Highlights

If you’re anything like me, winter is the time when you opt for simple styling routines that can easily be stretched out with a few hits of dry shampoo. Subtle highlights can take a simple style to an entirely new level without any styling!
