Flattering Holiday Hairstyles For Career Women

More than any other time of the year, the holidays demands so much from women in terms of fashion and hairstyle. It is during this season that you must look your best. Next to dresses, choosing flattering hairstyles is the next biggest challenge that women are faced with during the holidays.

What with all the parties, reunions and other social functions to go to, how can you effortlessly shift from one look to another?

One fashion tip that you must remember is to wear a look that's right for your age. As with clothes, there are styles that are appropriate for certain age ranges and there are those which are not. Here's a brief rundown of the best holiday hairstyles for women in their 20s and 30s.

Holiday Hairstyles For 20s

For late teens and women in their twenties, they can pretty much get away with any look they want as long as they can carry it well. These holiday hairstyles would be perfect for formal dinners with your boyfriend's parents or a night out clubbing with the girls.

1. Do the Twist- A small twist or two thin braids tied at the back, just over your ear line, is ideal for a casual to semi formal affair. You can accessorize with a small shiny hair accent to make the hairstyle more current.
2. Try the Evening Ponytail. The ponytail still makes for a neat and sophisticated hairstyle. You can leave loose strands of hair in the front and twirl them for a fresher, younger look.
3. Pretty Spirals and Twirly Curls. If you've always wanted to look like Barbie, the holidays are the perfect opportunity. You can use curlers or set them on foam wrap products and add shine spray to finish off the look.

Holiday Hairstyles for 30s

The career woman and the mom need some more holiday hairstyle ideas for this season. Since she's already wearing so many different hats, here are quick and easy suggestions.

1. Hair Accessories can Make a Difference. It's the holidays so give yourself a chance to be a little loud. You can experiment with shiny and sparkly hair accessories which work best for short hair. Headbands and dazzling hair clips or barrettes instantly add a touch of glam.
2. Bring on the Shine. Whether you have short or long hair, clear glaze that highlights your hair's color and shine is a welcome thing this season. You can have it done professionally or do it yourself with store-bought home treatments.
3. Ride the Waves. Power meetings all throughout the year may have gotten you branded as the Snow queen or Miranda Priestly. Surprise everyone at the annual christmas party with an elegant and very feminine do. Apply setting lotion to clean dry hair before using the curling iron and you'll easily get soft waves like Reese Witherspoon.

Choosing holiday hairstyles should be fun. It shouldn't make you spend hours just to get a new look. You can experiment with hair accessories, play with color treatments or add shine just to jazz things up. Who knows, you might just find a hairstyle that you'd like to keep all year round.
