Deck the halls and light the candles! Christmas fashion is here and we’re going all out this year. Since this is arguably the best time of year to let your style become extra sparkly, we’re sharing a whole new range of Christmas hairstyles from our favorite looks.
Some of these festive hairstyles are perfect for those looking for a big change (red and green highlights, anyone?) while you can master others in a quick five minutes.
Read on for all of the best Christmas-inspired hairstyles, with perfect matching fragrances to complete them before your celebrations begin.
1. Vibrant Curls and Sparkly Bows
If you’re looking to go all out this Christmas, there’s no limit to what’s possible with dyes and accessories. This incredible red and green look is well worth the effort for full festive fun, blending soft waves with extra sparkles and intricate plaited detailing.
The cherry on top (or should we say the angel on the tree)? That gorgeous red and green bauble-esque hairband. We’d pair this impeccable look with an all-out festive fragrance like Demeter Christmas Bouquet.

2. Soft Waves and Ribbons
If you’ve let your hair grow long this year, you’ll love the chance to replicate this gorgeous Christmas hairstyle. For an easy-to-achieve look, you’ll need nothing more than a curling wand and a few extra accessories.
Curl your hair, brush it out a little to loosen it up, and separate two chunks at the front into braids. Finish by tying it into one combined braid and accessorize with bows of your choice. A matching scent? We’d pick an elegant perfume like Jessica McClintock by Jessica McClintock.

3. Ariana Grande-Inspired Classic Ponytail
We’ve been taking a lot of our Christmas inspiration from celebrities this year and we’d be lying if we said a large chunk of that hadn’t come specifically from Ariana Grande.
So what better Christmas hairstyle to celebrate the festive season than a wintery take on Ari’s signature ponytail? If your hair isn’t thick or long enough to achieve this look naturally, do as Ari does and opt for a ponytail extension. We’d wear this one with an Ariana scent like Ariana Grande Moonlight.

4. Tinsel Braids With Attention to Detail
The best thing about these detailed braids is how versatile they are. If you’d rather keep it simple, split your hair into a center parting and focus on the beautiful red tinsel that’s been woven throughout each length.
If you’re ready to step it up a notch, spend some time artfully arranging that parting with the miniature star detail and go all out with colored hair bands. You could even throw in some sparkly hairspray. We’d finish this look with a wintery fragrance like Gucci Winter’s Spring.

5. Effortless Fishtail Plaits
This relaxed Christmas hairstyle works on hair of all lengths but looks especially beautiful on longer locks. If you’re blessed with naturally wavy hair, all you’ll need to do is form a soft, loose fishtail braid and finish it off with a pretty bow.
If you’ve got naturally straight hair, run a curling iron through your lengths before weaving it together. Once in place, you can add a little extra curl to the ends to give it more volume. Finish with an elegant scent like Coach Floral.

6. Red and Green Panelled Waves
Wintery lowlights just got a little bit cooler when we saw this incredible Christmas hairstyle. Almost effortless to achieve, this look makes good use of vibrant red and green tones that promise to last all season.
A festive hairstyle like this works best on lighter hair colors, though you may still be able to achieve subtle tones on darker hair. We’d pair this look with a stylish Christmas scent like Tom Ford Noir De Noir by Tom Ford.

7. Christmas Tree-Inspired Stylish Updo
Do you prefer to keep it simple with Christmas hairstyles and let your outfit do the talking instead? This easy updo looks seriously stylish but doesn’t take much effort or time at all.
A chic look that’s finished off with a sparkling star hair clip, you’ll love this one on days when you’d rather let your makeup shine. We’d pair this one with a classic wintery scent like White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor.
