Holiday Hair That Shines: Trending Styles to Light Up Every Gala and Celebration
The holiday season is here, and with it comes a calendar full of galas, parties, dinners, and events where you want to feel confident, polished, and unforgettable. At Voga Salon, we see the holidays as the perfect excuse to elevate your everyday look into something that truly lights up the room.
From glamorous blowouts to timeless updos and modern waves, the right hairstyle can transform not just your outfit but your entire presence. This season is all about intentional styling, healthy shine, and hair that moves beautifully from the first toast to the last dance.
Effortless Glam: Blowouts That Make an Entrance
A professional blowout remains one of the most requested services during the holiday season and for good reason. A salon blowout creates instant polish, volume, and smoothness that is difficult to recreate at home.
This year, we’re seeing a strong trend toward soft, glamorous blowouts with body and movement rather than overly stiff styles. Think full, voluminous ends, subtle bends through the mid-lengths, and a high-shine finish that reflects the light beautifully in photos.
A holiday blowout is versatile enough to pair with elegant dresses, structured suits, or even elevated casual looks for daytime events. Whether your hair is worn straight with soft curves or styled with loose flowing movement, a blowout gives that unmistakable finished look that turns heads the moment you walk into the room.
Why a Professional Blowout Gives You That “Wow” Factor
A professional blowout is about more than just drying your hair. At Voga Salon, our stylists tailor each blowout to your hair type, texture, and the event you’re attending. The difference lies in technique, product selection, and expertise.
Proper sectioning, controlled heat, and professional tools allow your hair to hold its shape while maintaining softness and shine. Salon-grade products also play a major role they smooth the cuticle, enhance volume, protect the hair, and help your style last longer.
The result: hair that feels luxurious, looks intentional, and holds its shape for hours. That boost of confidence you feel when your hair looks perfect? That’s the true wow factor.
Trending Holiday Hairstyles We Love This Season
Beyond blowouts, holiday hairstyles are embracing a blend of classic elegance and modern simplicity.
Soft Low Updos
One of the most popular looks this season is the soft low updo. These styles sit at the nape of the neck with gentle twists or loose pieces framing the face. They’re elegant without feeling overly formal perfect for cocktail parties and black-tie events.
Voluminous Half-Up Styles
This style offers the best of both worlds: polished structure at the crown with beautiful movement through the ends. Soft waves or a smooth finish add a festive touch without overwhelming your overall look.
Sleek and Straight
Sleek styles are also making a strong statement. Smooth, straight hair with a deep side or center part feels modern, confident, and chic. When paired with a professional blowout, the result is glossy, healthy hair that feels elevated and sophisticated.
Loose Romantic Waves
Still a holiday staple, these waves are softer and more natural than tight curls. They move beautifully, photograph well, and effortlessly transition from day to night. They pair especially well with bold makeup or statement accessories.
How to Make Your Blowout Last Through Every Event
One of the questions we hear most often is how to extend the life of a blowout during a busy holiday schedule. The good news: with the right care, your blowout can last several days.
Here’s how to keep it looking fresh:
Avoid moisture for the first 24 hours. This helps the style fully set. Use a shower cap and avoid steam when possible.
Protect your blowout while sleeping. Wrap your hair loosely or secure it with a soft tie to preserve volume and smoothness.
Use dry shampoo between events. Apply lightly at the roots to absorb oil and refresh volume.
Touch up sparingly. Use low heat and only on areas that truly need it. Over-styling can shorten your blowout’s lifespan.
Finish with a light styling product. This can add shine and tame flyaways without weighing your hair down.
