“By your trusted & beloved local stylist, Dania Morejon, who’s seen more holiday hair disasters than burnt gingerbread cookies—and knows exactly how to fix them. So, this one’s especially for all those who are thinking about Christmas hairstyles & colors. Merry Christmas 🎄”
Hey all,
First off, a pleased ‘Tis the Season’ to you all 🎅
Let me be honest: Christmas isn’t just about the tree, the turkey, or even the presents. It’s about the photos, get-togethers, and celebrations.
And nothing ruins a festive vibe faster than limp hair or a color that screams, “I tried this at home with box dye.”
No, not at all, madams! As long as Dania is here, she won’t let that happen to anyone in the community - that’s a promise! 🤗
As a professional stylist, I can tell you—holiday hair is an art form. It’s about balancing glamour with practicality, sparkle with sophistication, and tradition with a dash of rebellion.
This season, the trends lean toward polished nostalgia, glossy finishes, and bold yet wearable colors. But like everything else that works in the Universe, hairstyles and colors should also be done in a systematic way.
But before I dive into the systematics of the trendy hairstyles and hair colors for the holiday season 2025, why not talk about what’s in the store for this holiday season?
Let’s go!
The 5 Best Hairstyles for Christmas 2025 👩🦰
Among the assortment of hairstyles available each year for the holiday season, these will be the highlights for the Christmas season 2025 (this is backed by industry trends).
So, what is there to wait further? Let's get our hair ready for the holidays 😎
1. The Hollywood Glam Updo
Why this one: Nothing says “holiday chic” like a sculpted updo with a touch of vintage glamour. It is as if Grace Kelly meets the modern red carpet.
The details: Smooth crown, soft volume at the back, and a few tendrils framing the face. Add a jeweled hairpin or velvet ribbon for that princess-style look - what could be great for a festive gathering?
Confused whether to try it yourself or get help from a professional stylist? While you can still do it at home, the hair smoothing and volume
Hairstylist Tip: Use a shine serum before styling! Glass-like hair makes the updo look really impressive. 🥰 And if you are even a tad bit cutious about what’s right or not, just pay a visit to your hairstylist - they know what they are doing!
2. The Whisper Pixie
Why this one: Short hair is having a moment, and the whisper pixie is delicate, airy, and effortlessly stylish. Perfect if you want to stand out without spending hours in front of the mirror.
The details: Feathered layers, soft texture, and a slightly tousled finish is the style you should go for on this holiday season. It’s playful yet sophisticated and very much in the eyes of people in 2025.
Hairstylist tip: Pair it with statement earrings—your hair becomes the frame for your holiday sparkle.
3. The Textured Wolf Cut
Why this one: For those who want edge with elegance, the wolf cut delivers. It’s layered, rebellious, and surprisingly flattering for winter parties.
The details: Shaggy layers with volume at the crown and wispy ends. Works beautifully with natural waves or curls.
Haisrtylist Tip: Add a touch of mousse and scrunch for definition.
Bonus recommendation: it looks amazing under a Santa hat. 🎅
4. The Ghost Waves
Why this one: It is ethereal, soft, and romantic—ghost waves are the perfect balance between polished curls and effortless texture. And such a style is not to be left behind during the Christmas festivities. 💃
The details: Loose, barely-loose waves that shimmer under Christmas lights should look terrific. This style is best achieved with a large-barrel curling iron and a light mist of hairspray - you are in for a festive hair fashion!
Hairstylist tip: Use a shine spray with micro-glitter for a subtle festive glow. Would you not like to blow someone’s mind completely 😉
5. The Classic Bob with Baby Bangs
Why this one: The bob is timeless and classic, but slice it in baby bangs and you will be having a modern, edgy twist. It’s chic, bold, and perfect for making a statement at holiday dinners.
The details: A sleek bob cut just below the chin and paired with ultra-short bangs will just give the best details and highlights. However, keeping them below or above the chin can also rest on your preferences - I just recommanded what’s trendy right now 😉
Hairstylist tip: Keep the bob razor-sharp with regular trims. You know, precision is everything when it comes to major occassions such as Christmas holidays.
The 5 Best Hair Colors for Christmas 2025 🎨
Well, that’s all I have for the hairstyle in the 2025 holiday season, folks! But hey, what alone a hairstyle could do if it does not mesmerise with exotic, interesting, and unique hair colors? Right?
So, I am bout to give you the best festive hair colors for the holiday season 2025. There is so much variety and trend here for you to have all the different Christmas colors in your hair.
So, let’s hop in on the color-ride 😙
1. Chocolate Brown Elegance
Why this one: Its a rich, warm, and a universally flattering hair color. The chocolate brown feels cozy yet luxurious - like sipping hot cocoa by the fire - and that means sexy, too 🥵
The details: It should have a deep brown base with subtle caramel undertones for the color to achieve perfact dimensions. This will just go handsomely luscious for your Christmas gatherings 😉
Hairstylist tip: Gloss treatments are your best friend—brown shades can look dull without the extra shine. However, it should be imperative to go as friendly as possible on your hair!
2. Butter Blonde Glow
Why this works: Blonde is always bold, socially-rebelious, and very much camera-friendly. And when you go for a butter blonde during Christmas chills, it certainly adds warmth and softness as well as avoiding the icy tones that can feel too harsh in winter.
The details: Golden undertones with creamy highlights - no arguement whatsoever! This has to be the pinacle for the holiday-hairstyle locks. Think about candlelight reflecting off your hair, umm 😋
Bonus recommandation: Dont forget your dark red lipstick with some shine on your lips 💋
Pro Stylist Tip: Purple shampoo is essential to keep brassiness at bay, because the brassiness almost always appears when you go for blonde hues - the violet pigmants counteract to them.
3. Ink Black Drama
Why this one: This hairstyle is indeed very dramatic for the holiday festivities. It’s quite bold, striking, and perfect for making a statement. Ink black hair is one of the ultimate holiday power moves you have under your hair fashion sleeves.
The details: This style should be adorned with a Jet-black base and a glossy finish. That’s how you hit the festive jackpot, right 😉
Hairstylist tip: Make sure you take good care of your scalp before attempting this hairstyle. Black hair shows flakes more than any other hair color available on the shelf.
4. Toasted Blonde Highlights
Why this one: A softer alternative to butter blonde, toasted blonde highlights add dimension to darker bases without overwhelming the look. It’s just the very best hair setting to celebrate your Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
The details: The honey and beige tones can be blended seamlessly into your brunette hair to get the perfect output. This combination is a trend for fall hair colors in 2025.
Hairstylist tip: Balayage is the technique of choice—it looks natural and grows out gracefully. Just make sure you get them from the best in your area 😇
5. Natural Highlights with a Festive Twist
Why this one: What is better than showcasing your hair stylishly as well as naturally during the extremely decorated annual holiday season? That’s when the subtle highlights come to save the day! These natural highlights mimic sun-kissed strands, but with a holiday upgrade—think rose-gold or copper accents. 😊
The details: They should be styled in fine, delicate streaks that catch the light on just the right places. How will you achive this specific look? No rocket science - just scroll down a single click 😉
Hairstylist tip: Be sure to ask your stylist for what we call “micro-highlights.” They will give your hair finer than traditional foils which will look incredibly natural on your locks. That’s the simple trick!
🥂 Final Thoughts
Phew! Was one hell of a hairstyling ride, ain’t it?
Well, when it comes to Christmas and New Year’s holidays, it is something very special, a once-in-a-year hard-earned celebration with your loved ones.
Therefore, you and your hair must look at your level best! 😎
And always remember: hair grows back, colors fade away, but those Christmas and holiday photos? They’re forever. So, choose wisely, style boldly, and let your hair be the crown you never take off.
