I would apply a heat protectant such as GHD Bodyguard before curling straight hair or styled waves and a shine mist afterwards to make it shiny. it sets in that contemplative, wholesome finish which winter light displays so splendidly.
I am a fan of this style since it is not dated but never dull. It is the type of braid that makes you feel presentable even when you are simply putting on your coat and boots.
Braid with Beanie
It is an incredibly cozy winter appearance: a thick braid with a knit cap. It is easy, guardian, and handy, but it does not appear disheveled. I believe this is the ideal style where you wish to have your hair contained not hidden under your hat.
I would always suggest a light leave-in conditioner such as It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In prior to braiding hair, it keeps the hair moist and does not allow frizz to happen when wearing a hat.
The thing is that winter hair does not need to be sophisticated. There are occasions when the most practical and yet cute idea comes to mind.
Braided Bun with Winter Polish
This is a braid that has been twisted into a bun as it is as neat and as possible. It is organized, classy and unexpectedly versatile- you can wear it to work or to a holiday dinner. It is one of those simple hairstyles, which somehow makes it appear more complex than it is.
In order to achieve buns of this type, I always spray strong-hold hairspray -L’Oréal Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold is impossible to beat to keep the braids in place without making the hair crunchy.
I believe that braided buns are the secret of winter styling. They are protective, sophisticated and they change easily between the day and night.
French Twist with Soft Volume
Lastly, this is a French twist which is ideal during the winter. The roll collected behind is plump, smooth, and made out with a slight clip detail. It is a medium hairstyle that is hair friendly and always feels chic.
I would suggest volumizing mousse, Paul Mitchell Extra-Body Sculpting Foam, to add some grip before twisting. Then the style does not slip out of pins.
To me, this hairstyle represents winter evenings: elegant, sophisticated, and a glass of wine and a sweater dress. It is subtle glamour and that is what makes it so unique.
Sleek Ponytail with Wrapped Base
The smooth ponytail is never out of fashion, and as soon as you wrap the strand around the base, it becomes more classy. The ends are shiny and the waves are soft which makes it have a refined finish that is red-carpet ready but can still be used on a daily basis during winter.
I would use a smoothing serum such as Moroccanoil Treatment Light to have straight hair and no flyaways. The glossy texture is also locked in by a flat iron pass before tying.
This is a strong, basic and classic hairstyle- it is the type of style that makes one feel drawn in within a few seconds.
Double Space Buns
Space buns are the best screamer of fun inspo. They are not only cute but also young and the best thing to do on a cold winter day where you are looking to add some smile to your own mirror. The front loose tendrils provide softness and make it even more adorable.
My favorite tip is that I use texturizing spray before twisting buns, and it provides them with grip and volume so that they do not lie flat. In medium hair, it miraculously creates that naughty framework.
It is certainly among those styles that can be aespa-inspired edgy, trendy, and yet completely wearable.
Minimal Low Bun
The low bun is the simplest of all buns and it is the definition of simple elegance. It is stylish and classic with the strands securely placed at the back. It is paired with big hoop earrings or a leather jacket and provides a cool-girl touch without making it too complicated.
I always apply a little hairspray such as Oribe Superfine to keep the buns in place but maintain the soft finish. Very handy in winter winds!
