The holiday party calendar punishes the same hair every weekend. Five styles to rotate through — none requires a hairdresser.
- The deep side part with old-Hollywood waves. Add finger waves with a flat iron. Setting spray locks it in.
- The slick low ponytail. Wet-look gel through clean dry hair. Tied at the nape with a satin ribbon.
- The half-up twist. Two front sections twisted back, secured with a decorative pin. Five minutes.
- The textured chignon. Loose bun at the nape, with intentional pieces left to fall. Reads as effortless.
- The blowout — done right. Big, soft, with cool-shot finishing. The classic answer when in doubt.
Three of these can be done in under 10 minutes. The other two are worth the 20.
