3x Christmas hair in no time

It is December, so busy and a bit stressful. Nice those holidays, but if possible, we also want to look a bit nice, even if it's just a little more festive and prettier than on that weekday. That's why quick and trendy hair to look elegant, without too much fuss, fiddling, or difficult hassle that you don't understand.

1. Sparkle on

Start with your loose hair in a side parting (side of your choice, of course), take a small section next to the parting and start twisting it back against your head. As if you are braiding, only now you are twisting. Each time, take a small section of hair until everything is twisted. Secure it with bobby pins or a small clip and let the rest of your hair hang loosely over your shoulder. Time to add some glitter. And no, I don't mean that tacky glitter spray from back in the day; I'm talking about chic pins, which you can easily pin into your hair.

2. The bun is always okay

Ha, this one is ideal for when you don't have time to curl your hair for hours or don't know what to do with that curling iron. A tip from me to you: put your hair up in a stylish bun. A high top bun is of course fine, but at that Christmas dinner, that low twisted variant might match better. Make a low ponytail, create a hole above the elastic, grab the start from underneath with two fingers and pull it through the opening. Take the remaining hair, wrap it up and pin it down. Are you blessed with long locks? Then repeat this a few times. Voilà: done. And maybe add an accessory for that nice touch.

3. Well tied

Looked too deep into that Christmas glass, overslept and really only have five minutes? This is your salvation. Make whatever you want: from a ponytail, half updo to maybe a stylish braid and finish it off with ribbon. The thinner, the more subtle, and in this case, prettier. Tie the ribbon around your hair and you're ready for that party.

Never knew Christmas could be so easy.
