Half-Up Braided Crown on Short Waves
It is not that shorter hair makes one less elegant. This medium length cut that has a half-up braid demonstrates the flexibility of a braid. It can be done with ease and has the Pinterest-worthy appearance.
I would apply Amika Fluxus Touchable Hairspray to hold the braid together and leave the waves free to move.
I think this style is reminiscent of intimate, stylish, and friendly gatherings. Would you not say it is evidence that short hair may be as much businesslike as long hair?
Braided High Bun with Golden Detail
A high bun that is woven with braids and completed with a golden headband is a showstopper when it comes to making a statement. It is organized but fun, and it is a great selection in case of gala nights.
To make it shiny and fix it, I would prepare using Kenra Shine Spray and pin it down.
To me, this hair style is a crown on my head, assertive, powerful and beautiful.
Milkmaid Crown Braid with Soft Strands
This plaited crown encircles the head and leaves some of the strands hanging, which makes it soft. It is a nice formal appearance of medium length or long hair and it is particularly effective in the winter when you need to have something well organized and not too hard.
They are shiny and smooth with a dab of Verb Ghost Oil on the ends.
I adore this hairstyle because it is a combination of tradition and playfulness. It is royal and yet comfortable like a velvet dress at a holiday ball.
Loose Textured Bun with Volume
A loosely twisted bun with a crown that is volumized is an easy glam look. It is among those easy yet effective hairstyles that can be utilized in almost every winter formal party.
I would apply the Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dryspun Spray in order to get this lift. It introduces lightnessness without the style being cumbersome.
To me, this bun is eternal and flattering to everyone. It’s the definition of chic.
Ribbon-Wrapped Low Bun
A ribbon immediately makes a bun something special and special. This green bun weaved through a low bun makes it appear fresh, playful and cute during winter holidays.
To get the sleek look, I would apply Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream and then pull the hair back.
I like this style as it is personal, as it is as though a present is being wrapped and presented on the occasion. Would you not say it is ideal to festal evenings?
Low Updo with Jeweled Headband
A jeweled headband and a low bun are impossible to beat when you need a dramatic look with minimum effort. It immediately appears royal and it fits long and medium hair.
I would fix the style using Sebastian Shaper Plus Hairspray to have a secure yet touchable hold.
This hairstyle seems to be magical to me, as it is a winter ball or even a bridal scene.
Conclusion
The winter 2025-2026 will be about the fusion of beauty and personality, between smooth buns, and playful braids and shimmering accessories. My favorite thing is that these hairstyles are a testament to the fact that being formal does not necessarily mean being stiff or complex. Long waves, fancy bob, protective braids, or a combination of these styles, there is a style here that will make any winter night seem like magic.
And when you next go out in the frosty evening air, do not simply wrap up in your favourite coat, but get your hair into the fray, too. The confidence of having an accessory that you really love is the best thing to have after all, and the best part is that it is a hairstyle which is in this season.
