The team at spoke to several hairdressers regarding festive hair trends.

When asked what the most requested hairstyle and colour over the Christmas period is, hairdresser Kirsty Georgeson from Space Salon said: “Bouncy curls and blowouts are the most requested style over the festive season as it is a fun, romantic style that is simple to recreate, no matter the occasion.”

A festive hairstyle is nothing without the right colour, and when we spoke to Gwenda Harmon at Power Your Curls, she stated: “Warm copper colours, honeyed reds and golden beiges are a top choice over the winter season for those with cooler skin tones who are looking to add a bit of warmth to their look. Silver and white hair variations, along with blue-ish hues are popular over the festive season for those with warmer skin tones, giving a nice snowy effect for the winter period.”

Whilst the festive season is a great time to try a new style or hair colour, our hair expert Kirsty Georgeson said: “It is important to be mindful of your future hair goals, as big and regular changes season to season can bring a risk of damage to your hair, be it from a colour change, or regular styling at high heats.”

Three Expert Tips on How To Choose The Perfect Festive Hair Colour & Style

Look at your face shape: Understanding your face shape will ultimately help you decide what kind of hairstyle you should have and will suit you best. Some of the most common face shapes include oval, rounded and triangular. For example, oblong shapes suit a soft wavy updo, so a loose, boho-inspired bun is the perfect choice. Contrastingly, more triangular-shaped faces suit any slicked-back do. The popular slicked-back bun is ideal for giving that “snatched” look. By looking at your individual face shape, you can be sure to choose the perfect look for you.

Check your skin tone: When it comes to choosing the perfect shade and colour for your festive hair makeover, looking at your skin tone is important when trying to find the right shade and colour for you. Icy and platinum shades are the best for those with fair skin with warm undertones, whilst those with deeper skin and a cooler undertone are best choosing cooler browns and deep blacks.

Look at your hair texture: Hair texture, whether it is naturally curly, straight or somewhere in between, choosing the right hairstyle can be easier when choosing based on your hair texture. A curly updo is perfect for curly hair, whether you choose a loose, “messy” bun or a crown braid, the texture of the curly hair will help add structure and volume to any romantic-inspired updo. Contrastingly, straight hair can be hard to style when wanting to add volume to your hair, so choosing a sleek style such as a slicked-back ponytail or bun, or sleek straight hair is the ideal festive hairstyle choice and is easy to accomplish.
