When the holidays roll around you’ll want to wear special short or medium hairstyle to your festive holiday parties. You might decide to wear an updo formal hairstyle like a French twist, braided coil or wavy chignon. Any of these hairstyles will show off an elegant look at parties.

You may have seen the French twist updo before worn by some celebrities. It looks especially good with hair accessories, and is sure to provide you with a flirty and soft look. The traditional French twist updo medium hairstyle is one that is used very frequently. You probably would not be able to do a French twist on your own hair, so make an appointment with a hairstylist for the best look.

A braided coil updo hairstyle is a very elegant style, especially for those with naturally long hair. Your hair will be braided into a single longer braid in back first, and then it will be pinned on top of your head in a circle. This look was once retro but has become popular once again, so you will truly stand out if you have long enough hair to wear this style. If your hair isn’t long enough to do this, you can buy braided coil pieces and add them to your natural hair.

The wavy chignon formal hairstyle works best if you have naturally curly hair. You will curl – unless your hair is already curly – first, and create loose, long waves with a hot iron. Gather your hair into one high, loose ponytail and wind that into the shape of a bun. Then place curls near the outside where you can see them.

Messy buns are another hairstyle that looks great for the holidays. It’s similar in style to a wavy chignon, although it works on wavy or straight hair as well. Your hairstylist can leave out wisps of hair purposefully, so that they hang daintily around your face.
