Welcome back to GertieBlu, where we celebrate beauty, style, and all things fabulous! With the holiday season fast approaching, it’s time to start thinking about how we’ll dazzle at those festive gatherings. Today, we’re showcasing three gorgeous hairstyles perfect for any Christmas party. These styles are versatile, timeless, and guaranteed to turn heads, whether you’re keeping it cozy with close friends or going full glam for a larger celebration!
1. The Glamorous Hollywood Waves
For an effortlessly chic and classic look, Hollywood waves are a fabulous choice. These waves, reminiscent of vintage starlets like Veronica Lake, add an air of sophistication and drama that’s perfect for holiday glamour.
How to Get the Look:
- Prep: Start with freshly washed hair, apply a smoothing serum, and blow-dry for a polished finish.
- Curl: Use a 1-inch curling iron to create curls, working in small sections. After curling each section, pin it to your head to set the curl.
- Brush Out: Once cooled, release the curls and gently brush through to create those smooth, soft waves.
- Finish: Add a shine spray and use a lightweight hairspray to hold your waves all night. For an extra festive touch, tuck one side behind your ear and pin with a sparkly hair accessory.
Why We Love It: Hollywood waves are universally flattering and work beautifully on medium to long hair. They’re timelessly elegant yet relaxed enough for any party vibe.
2. Sleek Low Bun with a Twist
If you’re looking for something sophisticated yet low-key, the sleek low bun is your go-to! With a twist of glam, this style offers a minimalist look that feels polished and festive. Perfect for pairing with statement earrings or a bold lip, this look gives all the holiday vibes without overwhelming your outfit.
How to Get the Look:
- Prep: Apply a smoothing cream to dry hair and comb through.
- Part and Gather: Create a deep side part for added drama, then gather your hair at the nape of your neck.
- Twist and Pin: Twist your ponytail into a bun and secure with bobby pins. Smooth down any flyaways with a touch of styling gel for an ultra-sleek finish.
- Accessorize: Add a touch of sparkle with a festive hair clip or two on one side of the bun.
Why We Love It: This bun is understated yet chic, making it a versatile option. It works on any hair length from shoulder length and longer, and it’s especially great for showcasing your festive jewelry.
3. Soft Half-Up, Half-Down with Loose Curls
For those who love a balance of elegance and ease, the half-up, half-down style is the ultimate Christmas party look. Adding soft curls brings a bit of romance and holiday charm. This hairstyle works beautifully with a cocktail dress or even a cute holiday sweater!
How to Get the Look:
- Curl: Begin by curling your hair with a large-barrel curling iron for loose, flowing waves.
- Section and Secure: Take a section from each side of your head and bring them together at the back. Secure with a pretty clip or a few bobby pins.
- Add Volume: Tease the top section slightly for volume, or leave it smooth for a sleeker look.
- Finish: For extra sparkle, weave a small decorative hair piece or clip into the gathered section.
Why We Love It: This hairstyle is easy to achieve, adds volume, and feels relaxed while still looking polished. It’s perfect for almost any hair length and suits most face shapes.
Final Touch: Adding Some Holiday Sparkle
No holiday hairstyle is complete without a touch of sparkle! Consider adding a decorative barrette, a set of pearl pins, or a velvet ribbon to your chosen style. These small details can elevate even the simplest hairstyle into a festive masterpiece.

These three hairstyles are here to make your Christmas party looks extra special. Whether you’re into classic waves, sleek buns, or romantic curls, there’s a style for everyone on this list. So go ahead, grab your styling tools, and get ready to shine bright this holiday season!
