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.
Dianna Agron's hairstyle is everything a cozy holiday occasion calls for: a style that's tousled, but taut and elegant and edgy -- all at the same time. This braided updo starts with three even fishtail braids separated vertically at the back of the crown. Braid each section from your roots down through to the ends of your hair, and then tug on the braids to loosen them. Wrap them around your head to form a crown, using bobby pins to secure each braid in place. Finish by misting with a workable hairspray.
A perfect way to spice up a lob haircut is to create soft waves starting at the eye-level. Julianne Hough's look takes it even further, slicking one side back to create a sultry, over-the-shoulder style. To try it yourself, wrap sections of your hair around a 1-inch barrel styling wand, making sure to wrap sections toward your face. Once all of your hair is curled, smooth one side back to the nape of your neck, securing with bobby pins. Rake through your waves using a fine-toothed comb to even out the curl pattern, and then use a finishing spray to set your style.
