Going for a hairstyle that's sure to turn heads? Embrace your natural texture (or just fake it using the smallest of these hot tools) to create a super trendy updo paired with festive holiday makeup. Mist a moisturizing spray all over your hair, and then gather your hair up to your crown. Twist and pin sections of your hair down to secure, allowing the ends to fall forward and frame your face evenly. Top it off with a little shine serum and bam -- pretty-frizzy made gorgeous.
A cropped cut like Ciara's can easily be made party-perfect in just a few steps. On dry hair, part your hair off to the side and use a 1-inch flat iron to wave sections of your hair away from your face. Apply a dollop of texturizing pomade to your fingertips and rake through your waves using your fingers to create a piece-y look. Pair your hairstyle with smoky eye makeup, full lashes and highlighter for polished finish.
Nothing says holiday cheer like a head full of curls. This look emphasizes maximum volume for a hairstyle that's both glamorous and playful. Use a 1-inch barrel curling iron to curl your hair all over from your roots down through to the ends. Then, brush out your curls using a boar bristle from the ends and up the length of your hair. Part your hair off to the side, smooth the top down with a soft brush and then secure the front section at your temple with a bobby pin.
If you're going for the Lily Collins version of a holiday-perfect look, you'll want full brows, a bold, berry lip and perfectly coiled vintage curls. To steal her hairstyle, curl sections of your hair toward your face using a 1-inch barrel curling iron. Once all of your hair is curled, using a vented brush to rake through them, creating an even, retro curl pattern.
Vintage curls are to holiday parties what LBDs are to just about any event on your social calendar. This look from blogger Jenn Moran plays up the charm of polished curls without looking too overdone. To try it, apply a shine serum down the length of your hair and blow dry it using a round brush. Then, curl 1-inch sections of your hair in the direction toward your face. Allow each section to stay curled as you go, then brush through them evenly using a vented brush, letting your hair wave inward toward your face. Mist a shine-enhancing finishing spray all over to set your style.
