Greetings! The holiday season is here, bringing cozy vibes, joyful moments with your favorite people, and a chance to celebrate all the little (and big!) things we’re grateful for, including those thoughtful gifts heading your way.
We know you want to slay your holiday looks while keeping your curls happy and healthy. So, in this post, we’re sharing some cute, easy holiday hairstyles that’ll have you shining bright at every festive moment. Let’s get those curls holiday-ready!
The Silk Press
As the chill sets in, many of our curlfriends love to switch things up with a little heat, as we chatted about in the last post. One classic go-to? The smooth silk press.
Here’s the scoop: a silk press uses a flat iron on blow-dried hair to give you a sleek, glossy finish without compromising your hair’s natural texture. It’s the perfect way to mix things up if you usually rock those tight curls and coils but want to switch to a smooth, shiny look for a minute. Your coils will thank you for the glow-up!
To keep your curls happy and healthy during your silk press season, a little extra TLC goes a long way! Before you turn up the heat, make sure to treat your hair to serious moisture and nourishment.
We’re big fans of Ecoslay’s Banana Cream Deep Conditioner, enriched with natural ingredients like Okra extract, which is rich in vitamins that help soften and strengthen hair, and Argan oil for deep hydration.
Another favorite is SilverSlay’s Lemongrass and Rosemary Deep Conditioner. Both lemongrass and rosemary are known for their scalp-stimulating and soothing properties, promoting healthy hair growth while locking in moisture. These conditioners are like a spa day for your curls, prepping them perfectly to handle heat while keeping that bounce and shine.
UpDos & Ponytails
Want to go a bit fancier this season? Holiday hair is all about those cute accessories that bring extra cheer to your look! Adding a pop of green, red, or white to your ponytail or updo is an easy way to dive into the festive spirit and look fabulous doing it.
We’ve got you covered with our cozy collection of satin scrunchies and head-wraps. Our Green/Gold scrunchies and head-wraps are total holiday MVPs that’ll have your coils feeling loved and your style on point all season long. Satin helps reduce friction and prevent breakage, making it a gentle choice for your curls.
Pro Tip: Planning a holiday getaway? Don’t forget to pack your curl essentials! You can find these goodies and so much more over on our “Travel and Tools” page. It’s perfect for keeping your coils fresh and fly no matter where the season takes you. Travel safe!
Braided Bows
Last but definitely not least, if you’re vibing with something simple but still festive, braids are your bestie for low-maintenance style, whether your curls lean straighter or coil tighter.
Keeping your braids fresh is all about mindful care! Make sure to watch your wear time and show your scalp some love with regular oiling.
We’re loving our Moonshine Hair and Body Oil, powered by a nourishing blend of essential oils like jojoba, avocado, and sweet almond oils. This oil is perfect for keeping your braids smooth and your skin glowing. A little self-care goes a long way!
Bonus Fun: Some folks get creative and turn their braids into cute little bows to really bring that holiday magic.
