- Going Up!Hair is definitely going to new heights for the holidays with a trend towards upswept hairstyles reminiscent of the 1950's. The emphasis is on soft natural curls and waves that say, "Caress me" not stiff, lacquered locks that say, "Don't touch"
To get the "up" in your up-do, work with lightweight hair products that create volume – especially mousses. Make sure that you have bobby pins that match your hair color and that they're the right size and strength to hold your hair.
A Traditional Style That's Always Fashionable, Easy, and ######yThe classic "chignon" sounds French, but it actually dates back to the Greco-Roman times! It's sleek, and chic, and magnificent for the holidays because of its simplicity and timeless appeal. (It's also appealing because it doesn't require that you cut your hair!)
The chignon is the holiday hairstyle of choice for fashion icons Kelly Ripa, Heidi Klum, and everyone's favorite "desperate housewife" Eva Longoria.
Here's how: Brush straight,

Twist hair several times to make a tight rope, with no frayed-out ends. Curl the rope into a bun and use hairpins to secure to nape of neck.If "sleek" isn't in your curly hair's vocabulary, consider a braided ponytail. When your hair is wet,

What Knots,
UGG Sundance Boots!The complete opposite of the stately chignon is a fun holiday look doesn't require that you cut your hair either -- urban style "knots," a randomly placed series of tightly curled sections.
Here's how: To become a knot-head, divide your hair into 9 sections of equal size, securing each with a clip to hold it out of the way. One by one, twist a section into a tight coil and then wrap the coil into a tight knot.This is a holiday hairstyle where decorative hairpins are a must! Use them to hold each knot close to the scalp, but use them sparingly. We suggest one "decorative" pin for every three "plain" ones.
Is Bling Your Thing?You don't have to have big bucks to look like you're living large. Even with an "everyday budget", your bun or chignon can be transformed into a holiday hairdo that's modern, ######y, and very, very merry with faux diamonds and other fabulous ########s!
Placing diamond clips and delicate barrettes add a sassy touch of glamour to hairstyles for the holiday. Pretty, feminine clips and clasps come in a wide variety of textures and finishes, with ribbons and other charming details
