The holiday season is all about glow, statement outfits and hairstyles that last from the first toast to the final dance. Whether we’re talking about glam curls, high ponytails with volume, sleek looks or elegant buns, success lies in the right professional products and the right combinations. Discover a complete holiday hair styling guide, created for visible results, long-lasting hold and an extra touch of festive shine.
Everything starts with preparing the hair
“A successful look always begins with a proper base,” explains Mihai Badin, Wella Professionals stylist. Before any styling, the hair needs detox and revitalization to remove product buildup and regain its natural suppleness.
Wella Professionals Elements Renewing Shampoo is ideal for this essential step. Free of sulfates and silicones, with up to 99% natural-origin ingredients, this shampoo gently cleanses, hydrates and restores the hair’s natural shine without drying it out. Its rich foam leaves the hair clean, smooth and perfectly prepped for styling.
Root volume for a wow effect
Volume is the key to a truly spectacular holiday look. Products that act directly at the root instantly transform any hairstyle, offering lift, texture and movement.
Sebastian Professional Thickefy Foam is a lightweight foam with liquid-to-foam technology, perfect for fine or thin hair. It creates the appearance of fuller hair, with flexible, airy volume and zero stiffness. For extra lift and support, Sebastian Professional Volupt Spray is a modern classic, with root-lifting technology and a “soft to touch” finish.
Another must-have for voluminous hairstyles is Wella Professionals EIMI Extra Volume Hair Mousse, a formula that provides strong hold, protection against dehydration during blow-drying and volume that lasts all day or night.
Heat protection, the step that should never be skipped
“Heat styling should never compromise hair health, especially during the busy holiday season,” notes the Wella Professionals specialist.
Wella Professionals EIMI Thermal Image Heat Protection Spray protects hair up to 220°C thanks to its two-phase formula. The first phase nourishes and shields the hair from heat damage, while the second offers smoothness and natural hold for a flawless result.
Flexible hold for hairstyles that last
In the end, hold is what makes the difference between a nice hairstyle and a memorable one. The secret? Sprays that offer support without stiffness.
Sebastian Professional Texture Maker is a lightweight texture spray enriched with sea salt crystals, offering medium hold and a matte finish. Ideal for reworkable looks with shape and personality.
For classic yet effective control, Sebastian Professional Shaper Hairspray remains a benchmark in professional styling. With flexible hold, fast drying and a satin finish, this product provides support without leaving the hair heavy or stiff.
Shine, the finishing touch of holiday hairstyles
No festive hairstyle is complete without an extra touch of shine.
Sebastian Professional Dark Oil Silkening Mist is a lightweight, scented mist with jojoba and argan oil that gives hair a silky, luminous appearance, whether applied before blow-drying or as a finishing step.
For an intensified smoothing and shine effect, Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Miracle Oil Serum or Wella Professionals Oil Reflections Luminous Smoothing Oil are ideal choices. Both nourish, smooth and give the hair a healthy glow, turning any hairstyle into an elegant statement.
Festive hairstyles that impress, without compromise
With the right products for preparation, protection, volume, hold and shine, holiday hairstyles become easier to achieve and longer-lasting than ever. Combine professional expertise with these top formulas and create festive looks that catch every eye and stay flawless until the end of the party. The holiday season is the perfect moment for creative styling, texture and the extra shine that makes all the difference.
