The aroma of freshly baked cake wafting through the house; a truckload of shiny gift boxes placed haphazardly around the Christmas tree; cute and fluffy stockings filled with an assortment of chocolates and twinkling lights playing peek-a-boo around the Christmas ornaments while you watch a sugary-sweet holiday special movie with your family to bring in the Christmas cheer.
Oh, how we love the year-end Christmas festivities that propel our lives into a whirlwind of joy, laughter, and cherished memories to warm our hearts for months to come. These celebrations wouldn't be complete without the latest fashion trends, modish accessories, and stylish Christmas hairstyles that add an extra touch of glamour and festive spirit to our holiday looks, making them truly unforgettable.
While we surely know what to wear during this winter-special fiesta, festive updos do befuddle us, which is why we have come up with a rather snazzy list of Christmas hairstyles to elevate your holiday attires and spread the Christmas cheer with a crimson twist.
Bubble Ponytail

It was Princess Jasmine from the Disney Cartoon Alladin who epitomised this unique hairstyle, but we've realised that with a little bit of hair styling, this hairdo for Christmas fits well in our list because of how easy it is to recreate and looks good with all kinds of outfits!
Here's how you can recreate this hairstyle:
Tutorial:
- Step 1: Start by applying your hair with Livon Anti Frizz Hair Serum; comb your hair with fingers to spread it evenly; and then begin by creating a side part in your hair, sectioning off a small piece of hair near the front to start your braid.
- Step 2: Start braiding this small section of hair, incorporating hair from the side as you go along. Continue braiding towards the back of your head, incorporating more hair from the side as you move down. Once you reach the nape of your neck, secure the braid with a hair tie.
- Step 3: Gently tug on the sections of the braid to add volume and texture. To create the bubble effect, use smaller hair ties and place them evenly along the braid, spacing them out as desired.
- Step 4: Fluff out each section between the hair ties to create the bubble ponytail look, and adjust as needed to achieve the desired style.
- Step 5: To create an illusion, you can use a single long strand of your hair to tie cross-sections of the bubble braid. Finish off the hairstyle by spritzing it with Livon Shake & Spray Serum to keep flyaways at bay.

Oh, how good it feels to twist and twirl to your favourite party song while you let your hair down, literally! Nothing speaks comfort more than a simple hairstyle-brushed-out waves with pinned bangs is all you need when you hit the dance floor and let the music take over your senses.
Here's how you can recreate this hairstyle:
Tutorial:
- Step 1: Start by brushing out your waves to create a smooth base for styling. You can either use a hair wax for a soft, wavy finish, or if you have naturally wavy hair, then using a curl cream would do wonders to finish the look.
- Step 2: Part your hair where you want your bangs to fall and section off the front portion. Use a curling iron to create loose waves in the rest of your hair. Don't forget to use a heat protection hair serum before you use a heating appliance.
- Step 3: Take the front section of hair and twist it back, securing it with bobby pins to create pinned bangs.
- Step 4: Gently tousle the waves for a natural, effortless look.
- Step 5: Finish with a light hairspray to hold the style in place.

Here's how you can recreate this hairstyle:
Tutorial:
- Step 1: Spray your hair with Livon Super Styler Serum and finger-comb it to spread it across your hair.
- Step 2: Use a straightener to achieve the sleek look. Don't forget to use a heat protection serum for extra care, et voila! Your styling is complete. Now adorn a beautiful festive headband to complete the look, and you are ready to rock the party.

Why go for a plain Jane ponytail when you can spruce it up and go for a twisted ponytail? This particular hairstyle will really go well with a scintillating black dress and some statement gold jewellery.
Here's how you can recreate this hairstyle:
Tutorial:

- Step 2: Divide the ponytail into two equal sections.
- Step 3: Twist one section of the ponytail clockwise and the other section anticlockwise.
- Step 4: Cross the twisted sections over each other to create a twisted effect. Secure the twisted ponytail with another hair tie at the end.
- Step 5: If desired, you can wrap a small section of hair around the hair tie to conceal it for a polished finish. Pull out a few strands from the front of your face and lightly twirl them to complete the entire look.

- Step 2: Take a small section of hair from the front of one side and cross it over to the other side.
- Step 3: Repeat this process, taking small sections of hair from each side and crossing them over to the opposite side.
- Step 4: Continue braiding in this manner all the way down to the ends of your hair. Secure the mermaid braid with a hair tie.
