‘Tis the season for twinkle lights, clinking glasses, and hairstyles that say main character energy … without compromising your crown, of course. Whether you’re heading to a candlelit dinner or dancing the night away at a NYE bash, these extension-safe holiday hair styles are glam and Garnish-approved.
Let’s get festive.
🌊 Loose Waves + Statement Clips
It’s giving minimalist glam. Start with classic loose waves, then add a pair of face-framing clips or barrettes on one side. Think pearls, gold hardware, or subtle sparkle.
It’s a great look for family photos, Friendsgiving, or an upscale work event where you want to feel elevated without trying too hard.
Pro Tip: For a cohesive look, match your clip metal to your jewelry for a cohesive finish … or for fun, wear whatever you want with whatever you want 😉
💁♀️ Teased Half-Up Pony with Waves
This look brings drama—in the best way. Volume at the crown, polished waves cascading down, and a style that lifts the face and elongates the neck (so you’re camera-ready from every angle).
Perfect for those holiday parties where you want to feel done but not overdone.
Pro Tip: Always tease gently at the roots, never near the wefts. A root volumizer can create secure hold without tension on your extensions.
🎀 The Half-Up Baby Bow Moment
Sweet, subtle, and effortlessly chic—everyone’s favorite half-up style gets a festive twist with a dainty bow. This look works beautifully with hand-tied extensions and offers the perfect lift while still keeping things soft around the face. Bonus: It photographs like a dream.
Pro Tip: Choose a bow with texture—think velvet or satin—for that luxe seasonal touch. Keep your waves soft and touchable with a light mist dry texturizing spray.
🌸 Crown Twist with a Floral Pin
Romantic and regal, this twisty crown look is perfect for winter weddings or fancier fêtes. It wraps around the head like a soft halo and keeps the front section off your face (so you can eat, sip, and smooch freely).
Add a floral hair pin or accent comb for that final wow.
Pro Tip: Use bobby pins in your base shade to anchor the twist.
✨ Hair Glitter (Because Why Not?)
We love a confident moment—and nothing says “I’m here to celebrate” like a shimmer of hair glitter. Keep it intentional by applying it to your part line or brushing it onto a sleek ponytail. Just make sure you’re using an extension-safe, alcohol-free formula. (Not sure how to tell what’s extension-safe? Give us a call, babe.)
Pro Tip: Use a small makeup brush for targeted sparkle. It should feel like a twinkle, not a disco (unless that’s your vibe, in which case, sparkle on, you beautiful mirrorball).
