Elevate Your Holiday Looks with Chic Bows

The holiday season is upon us, and what better way to get into the festive spirit than by sharing holiday hair looks? Through the rest of this year, we will be sharing style inspiration for all of your holiday events. 

Bows are making a huge comeback this season, and for good reason! Whether you're attending a cozy family gathering or a glamorous holiday party, bows can instantly elevate your hairstyle and add a touch of merry charm. 

These hairstyles will not only showcase your festive spirit but also add a touch of whimsy to your overall ensemble.

Braided Beauty: Bow-Embellished Braids

Braids are versatile and can be customized to suit any occasion. For a holiday twist, create two loose braids and secure them together with a ribbon or a bow at the end. Once secured, gently pull the braided sections loose and then spray with a flexible hairspray. We love R+Co’s Outer Space Hairspray for this style. This look is not only romantic but also effortlessly captures the festive spirit. 

Half-Up, Half-Down

If you prefer to keep your hair partially down, try the half-up, half-down hairstyle adorned with bows. Part your hair in the middle or to the side, and gather the top section into a half-up or partially-up ponytail. Secure the ponytail with a bow, allowing the ends to cascade gracefully down. Once you’re done styling, use a control spray to ensure your hair stays in place. We love R+Co’s Foil spray as it creates long-lasting, flexible control for smooth, shiny results. This style strikes the perfect balance between casual and chic, making it suitable for various holiday gatherings.

Accessorize with a Bow Headband

To enhance volumized hair with a bow headband, start by gently teasing your hair with a comb and  volumizing spray. R+Co's Balloon Spray adds instant volume and texture with a great finish and hold - all without dulling hair or weighing it down. Once you've achieved your desired volume, select a bow headband that compliments your outfit and the overall theme of the holiday occasion. Place the headband on your head, positioning it a few inches back from your hairline. To maximize the impact, you can slightly lift the hair at the crown for added lift and dimension. Allow the bow to sit atop the volumized section of your hair, creating a harmonious balance between the fullness of your hair and the stylish accent of the headband. This simple addition not only keeps your hair in place but also adds a touch of charm and elegance to your overall look, making it a perfect accessory for festive gatherings or holiday celebrations.

Go ahead and embrace the magic of the season with these charming and whimsical hairstyles!
