25 Holiday Hairstyles for 2025–2026 to Try This Festive Season

This style is great on medium hair or long hair that will hold shape and volume. The bow is more dramatic and fun than the traditional bun, making this ideal for Christmas parties or New Year’s Eve celebrations. It’s a show-stopper that’s sure to get you compliments throughout the night.

21. Curly Holiday Glam with Velvet Headband

Curls always add a joyous flair to any holiday style and when teamed with a pearl studded velvet headband, the combination is pure holiday glamour. It’s daring, playful and exudes confidence, making it perfect for holiday photos and gatherings where you want to stand out.

This style works better for curly hair or textured hair as the volume complements the style. The headband not only keeps the style tidy, but also acts as an accessory, so you don’t need to go the extra mile to be party-ready. It is a nice and simple way to make your natural curls extra special during Christmas or New Year celebrations.

22. Sleek Wrapped Ponytail

The sleek, shiny and perfectly coiffed pony tail is a holiday staple. The hair wrap at the base provides a stylish and sophisticated touch to the look, making it feel like it’s meant for modern times. It’s the sort of style that works well with statement earrings and a sparkly dress.

Best for long hair, especially straight or slightly wavy hair, the style focuses on shine and precision. Sharper and more elegant than unbound waves or hair twisted in a dozen different ways, it exudes a self-assured vibe, making it perfect for 2025.

23. Voluminous Curled Ponytail

Bouncy big curls make this a no-tell-tale holiday ponytail. With additional bulk at the crown and cascading curls, it’s a hairstyle that’s both dramatic and feminine at the same time. It’s glamorous yet simple to wear, ideal to wear at parties where you want your hair to make a statement.

This style looks great for medium hair or long hair, more so if the hair has curls in it. Rather than a sleek ponytail, this one embraces softness and movement, hinting at a touch of romance and celebration that will look perfect against the backdrop of a bright lipstick or sparkling accessories.

24. Half-Up Style with Oversized Bow

The oversized black bow in this half-up look instantly makes it a holiday-ready hairstyle. It’s a bold accessory that’s playful yet chic, and adds the perfect dose of drama to your look without overdoing it. Great for holiday markets or Christmas dinners.

This look is best on medium or long hair that has a naturally straight or wavy end. Compared to the simpler half-up styles, the bow gives it an extra holiday flair in the easiest way possible. It’s low effort and high impact.

25. Romantic Updo with Red Ribbon

There is nothing more classic than an updo with a deep red ribbon. It is soft, romantic and perfect for the holiday season. The loose waves around the face ensure that it’s relaxed, and a ribbon makes for a subtle but elegant touch that adds a touch of festivity.

This style is perfect for medium hair, shoulder length or longer and is particularly useful if you want something that can be worn for both casual dinner dates and more formal Christmas evening parties. The red bow elevates it to the level of chignons that are simple, but adds an element of warmth and elegance that never goes out of style.

From classic bobs to sleek modern ponytails, these holiday hairstyles for the year 2025-2026 have a knack for making every woman feel effortlessly glamorous.
