Perfecting Your Holiday Party Hair

How to Style Hair for a Holiday Party?

The holiday season is here, which means it’s time to shine—literally. Whether you’re attending a holiday dinner, a festive office party, or a New Year’s Eve celebration, your hair is the ultimate finishing touch to your look. Finding the right hairstyle to complement your outfit can elevate your style and confidence. With Cécred’s Foundation Collection, achieving party-ready hair has never been easier. Here are some hairstyles for holiday parties and the products that make it all possible.

How to Prep Your Hair?

The key to perfect holiday party hair starts with healthy, hydrated strands. Whether you’re doing a sleek style or soft curls, a strong foundation is essential. Here’s how you can prep your hair for party perfection:

1. Double Cleanse

   Begin with Cécred’s Clarifying Shampoo & Scalp Scrub to reset your hair and scalp. Follow up with the Hydrating Shampoo to add moisture and prepare your hair for smooth, manageable styling. Clean, well-prepped hair always holds its style better.

2. Deep Condition for Shine

   Next, treat your hair with Cécred’s Reconstructing Treatment Mask and Moisturizing Deep Conditioner. The treatment mask strengthens the hair while the deep conditioner adds moisture and softness.

3. Seal and Protect

   Before you start styling, lock in hydration with Cécred’s Moisture Sealing Lotion to smooth frizz and add a lightweight, shiny finish. For extra luster, finish with the Nourishing Hair Oil, which enhances shine without weighing hair down. This step is especially helpful if you’re wearing heat-styled curls or a straight, sleek look.

How to Wear Your Hair for a Party?

When you are getting ready for a holiday party, your hairstyle should fit the vibe of the event. Here are some quick holiday party hair ideas:

Holiday Party Hair Styles For All Hair Types

Glam Blowout

A timeless look that delivers smooth voluminous hair with a polished finish. 

1. How to Style: Use a round brush and blow dryer to create volume and body in the hair.
2. Finish: Add a few drops of Cécred’s Nourishing Hair Oil to the ends of the hair for a polished finish.

Polished Ponytail

A sleek ponytail is a versatile and chic option for any hair type, from straight to coily.

1. How to Style: Smooth your hair back with a styling brush, secure it with a hair tie, and wrap a small section of hair around the base for a finished look.
2. Finish: Apply Cécred’s Moisture Sealing Lotion to tame flyaways and add shine. You can also use a touch of Nourishing Hair Oil on the ends to keep them hydrated and frizz-free.

Half-Up, Half-Down

This style works beautifully across all textures. It’s a playful yet elegant way to frame your face while showing off your length and texture.

1. How to Style: Gather the top half of your hair and secure it with a clip or small hair tie, leaving the rest flowing freely.
2. Finish: Add soft waves to the loose sections or enhance natural curls with Cécred's Moisture Sealing Lotion for extra definition and shine.

Braided Accents

Add a playful, festive touch to any hairstyle. 

1. How to Style: Add a festive twist with braided details like a crown braid or braided sections pulled into an updo.

Holiday Party Hair Styles For Wavy to Coily Hair

Soft Chignon

A low chignon is a timeless updo that works beautifully for thicker textures or tighter curl patterns.

1. How to Style: Gather your hair at the nape of your neck, twist it into a bun, and secure with bobby pins. For a looser, romantic look, leave a few face-framing curls or waves out.
2. Finish: Smooth edges with a small amount of Cécred’s Moisture Sealing Lotion and accessorize with a festive clip or hairpin for a holiday sparkle.

Holiday Party Hair Styles for Coily Hair

Bantu Knots or Twists

For coily hair textures, Bantu knots or festive twists are a great way to showcase your texture while keeping hair protected.

1. How to Style: Part your hair into sections, apply Cécred’s Moisture Sealing Lotion, and twist or coil each section into a knot.
2. Finish: Leave them as is for a bold look or unravel the knots to reveal defined, stretched curls.

What Hairstyle Goes With Which Party Dress?

The hairstyle you choose should enhance your dress and overall aesthetic. Consider these pairings:

1. Statement Dresses: If your dress has bold embellishments, opt for a sleek, pulled-back style like a ponytail or low bun to let your outfit shine.
2. Classic Black Dresses: Pair timeless outfits with vintage-inspired curls or a voluminous blowout for a touch of old Hollywood glam.
3. Romantic Dresses: Flowy, romantic dresses pair well with soft waves or half-up, half-down hairstyles.

No matter the dress, shiny hair is always a must. Prep with Cécred’s Reconstructing Treatment Mask for strong, smooth, shiny strands that elevate any hairstyle.

Pro Tips to Keep Your Style Fresh Between Holiday Events

1. Wrap or Cover Your Hair: Keep your style intact by wrapping your hair in a satin scarf or bonnet at night.
2. Moisturize Between Events: Use Cécred’s Moisture Sealing Lotion to maintain your style and shine between washes.
3. Plan Ahead: If you’re opting for heat styling, use Cécred’s  Reconstructing Treatment Mask and  Moisturizing Deep Conditioner to keep it hydrated and healthy.
