Christmas and New Years Updo Hairstyle Ideas

Are you having a big Christmas ball or party coming up and you want to style your own hair at home? Find out how to create yourself an easy formal hairstyle!

Styling your hair into an updo yourself can be challenging, especially if if you're looking for a classic, sleek style. So why not go for something a little more relaxed?

Try just putting up the sides and leaving the back loose – a half up, half down hairstyle.

If you do want the full updo then the key is getting body, volume in the hair first to make it pliable.

Set your hair on hot rollers, as this will not only give you the volume, but will also add shine.
Gently tease your hair and secure it with a loose band at the crown area, which will free up your hands. Distribute the ponytail ends around the crown area and secure with grips, bobby pins.

Finish it off with a strong hairspray to keep your look in place.
Add interest to the hairstyle by accessorizing with bows, clips or headbands.
