That's some fancy hair you've got there!

This updo idea is so polished and chic — and it starts with high shine. Apply your fave shine serum and gather those lustrous locks at the nape of your neck. Carefully twist and pin as you go, ending with a loop over the top, which you can then fasten on the bottom.

A loose chignon at the nape with a gorgeous embellished headband? It's a must for your next soiree. The secret to making this one work is mousse before you blowdry for added oomph, then backcombing at the crown.

Pull your hair straight back, no part. Divide into two sections and loop them loosely around, then them pin into place on top, leaving the ends out. Add the headband right at the hairline.

This one is pretty intricate and may be something you want to take to your stylist if you've got a big shindig coming up, but boy is it ever exquisite. Just bring your own pearls for your hairdresser to weave in — or, you can also find tutorials of simpler versions of this look!

Check out this braid! Start with LOTS of texture, and gather at the crown. Do a loose inside-out French braid, pausing after adding each new strand to plump and zhuzh it up. Tuck the bottom into the braid and pin under.

It's the wild west of braid crowns this holiday season — anything goes. It's messy and fun. Start anywhere and follow your own path.
