10 Simple Christmas Party Hairstyles for Effortless Holiday Glam

First made popular as the ‘Pam Anderson Updo’ when the starlet rose to fame in the 1990s, this updo has been simplified over the years making it easy to achieve at home, whilst still serving the ultimate sultry look that’s perfect to top off any Christmas party outfit! To achieve the look, take out some face-framing sections of your hair at the front (this is easier if you have a fringe, but still possible without!) and curl them towards the front. Then take the rest of your hair and act as if you are going to put it into a high ponytail, but don't pull it all the way through the second time, creating a fanned-out bun. Then, start pulling small pieces of hair out of the bun and curling those pieces to effortlessly hang down. Then secure the bun down to your head using either butterfly clips or bobby pins and you have it!

4. Loose Waves: A Simple Christmas Hairstyle Without Heat

The experts at UKLASH like this particular Christmas party hairstyle as it can be achieved without heat or product, causing no damage to your hair! Simply use a heatless curler (or thick socks if you don’t have a heatless curler) and wind your hair around on each side of your head. Tie it in place using a scrunchie and sleep with it overnight! Take it out in the morning (or just before the Christmas party begins!) and use your fingers to loosen the curls into soft, loose waves - and there you have it!

Hair tinsel has become more popular as of late, showing up in Summer as the hair accessory perfect for festivals, raves and holidays to give that little sparkle! But really, this hair accessory is made for Christmas parties! Giving you that little glimmer to match the decoration of your beloved Christmas tree! It’s an accessory that can be professionally applied in a hair salon but can also be achieved from the comfort of your own home. Simply order hair tinsel online (we love next-day delivery at Christmas!) and tie each singular piece of tinsel to a small section of hair as close to your root as possible. Simply finish by cutting the hair tinsel to the same length as your hair and work your way around the scalp, scattering as many hair tinsels throughout as you wish!
