At Viola Hair Extensions, we know how important it is to feel confident and stylish during the holiday season. Our high-quality natural hair extensions can help you achieve the extra volume, length, and texture you need to create gorgeous, head-turning hairstyles. In this article, we’ll showcase some of the top festive hairstyles you can create with Viola Hair Extensions and provide step-by-step guides to achieve each look. Whether you're aiming for elegant updos, voluminous curls, or sleek ponytails, we’ve got you covered.

Voluminous Hollywood Curls

Hollywood-inspired curls are always a classic choice for festive events. Big, bouncy waves exude glamour and can transform any look into a red-carpet-worthy style. With hair extensions, you can add the length and volume needed to create the perfect cascading curls.

How to Achieve Voluminous Hollywood Curls with Viola Hair Extensions:

Step 1: Prep Your Hair and Extensions

• Start by brushing your natural hair and your Viola Hair Extensions to ensure they’re tangle-free. If you're using clip-in extensions, section your hair horizontally and clip in the extensions layer by layer, starting from the bottom of your head. Be sure to distribute them evenly for a balanced, voluminous look.
• Apply a heat protectant spray to both your natural hair and the extensions to prevent heat damage.

Step 2: Curl Your Hair

• Using a large-barrel curling iron (1.5 inches or larger), curl sections of your hair away from your face for a uniform, glamorous wave. Curl the extensions along with your natural hair for a seamless blend.
• Hold each curl for 10-12 seconds before gently releasing it. Once you’ve curled the entire head, let the curls cool before brushing them out for a softer, more relaxed wave.

Step 3: Set with Hairspray

• Once your curls are cool, gently run your fingers through them to break them up slightly. This will give the waves a more natural and voluminous appearance.
• Finish by spraying a light-hold hairspray to keep your curls in place throughout the evening.

 

 

 

Sleek, High Ponytail

For a sophisticated yet playful look, you can never go wrong with a sleek high ponytail. Perfect for holiday dinners and New Year's Eve parties alike, this hairstyle adds elegance while keeping your hair out of the way, letting your outfit take centre stage. With Viola Hair Extensions, you can achieve the long, full ponytail of your dreams.

How to Achieve a Sleek High Ponytail with Viola Hair Extensions:

Step 1: Prepare and Secure Your Hair

• Start by brushing your hair to smooth out any tangles and bumps. Gather your natural hair into a high ponytail at the crown of your head, securing it with a strong elastic band. Use a fine-tooth comb to smooth out any bumps for a polished, sleek look.

Step 2: Clip in Your Extensions

• Take your Viola Hair Extensions and clip them around the base of your ponytail. If you’re using clip-in extensions, wrap the wefts around the ponytail, securing them tightly. Make sure the clips are firmly in place and well-hidden within the hair.

Step 3: Smooth and Style

• Once your extensions are in place, use a flat iron to straighten the ponytail for a sleek finish. Wrap a small section of hair from the ponytail around the base to conceal the elastic band and extension clips, securing it with a bobby pin.
• Use a shine serum or spray to give your ponytail a glossy, smooth finish. For extra hold, add a light mist of hairspray.

 

Elegant Low Chignon

For those who love a timeless, elegant look, the low chignon is a fantastic option. This classic updo works beautifully for Christmas parties, formal gatherings, or even winter weddings. The low chignon paired with hair extensions gives your hair extra volume and sophistication, making it a great choice for any festive occasion.

How to Achieve an Elegant Low Chignon with Viola Hair Extensions:

Step 1: Create a Base Ponytail

• Begin by brushing your natural hair to smooth out any tangles. Gather your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck and secure it with a hairband.

Step 2: Clip in Your Extensions

• Before twisting your ponytail into the chignon, add Viola Hair Extensions to increase volume. Wrap clip-in extensions around the base of the ponytail to add fullness to the final look. You can use multiple wefts if you prefer a more voluminous chignon.

Step 3: Twist and Pin

• Twist your ponytail into a loose bun and wrap it around the base, securing it with bobby pins as you go. Be sure to tuck in any loose ends for a polished look.
• For a softer, romantic touch, leave a few face-framing pieces of hair loose. You can gently curl these pieces for added elegance.

Step 4: Set with Hairspray

• Once your chignon is securely pinned, apply a light mist of hairspray to hold the style in place. Add a shine spray for extra gloss, and you’re ready for the holiday season’s most glamorous events.

 

 

 

Half-Up, Half-Down with Loose Waves

A half-up, half-down hairstyle strikes the perfect balance between casual and chic, making it a versatile option for all your holiday festivities. This look is especially beautiful when paired with loose waves, creating a romantic, soft vibe. Hair extensions can add volume and length to both the top and bottom sections, giving the style a fuller and more luxurious feel.

How to Achieve a Half-Up, Half-Down Hairstyle with Loose Waves:

Step 1: Curl Your Hair

• Begin by curling your hair and Viola Hair Extensions using a medium-sized curling wand. Work in sections to create loose, effortless waves. If you're using clip-in extensions, be sure to curl your natural hair and extensions together for a seamless blend.
• Once your curls are cool, gently brush them out for a softer, more relaxed wave.

Step 2: Create the Half-Up Section

• Take a section of hair from the top of your head, starting just above your ears, and pull it back into a half-up ponytail. Secure it with a hair elastic or a decorative clip.
• To add volume to the top section, tease the roots gently before securing the ponytail. This will create a more voluminous, lifted look.

Step 3: Blend the Extensions

 

• If you haven’t already added extensions, clip a few wefts into the lower half of your hair to add length and volume to the loose waves. Make sure the extensions blend seamlessly with your natural hair for a full, luxurious finish.

Step 4: Final Touches

• For a festive touch, consider adding a decorative hair accessory like a velvet ribbon, glittery barrette, or even a seasonal hairpin.
• Finish with a light mist of hairspray to keep the style in place throughout your holiday events.

 

 

Braided Crown Updo

A braided crown updo is a beautiful and unique style that will make you feel like a holiday queen. This intricate style is perfect for more formal festive occasions or if you want to create a statement look that showcases your personality. With the added volume of hair extensions, the braided crown will look even more regal and eye-catching.

How to Achieve a Braided Crown Updo with Viola Hair Extensions:

Step 1: Part and Section Your Hair

• Start by parting your hair down the middle and sectioning it into two equal parts. If you’re using clip-in extensions, add them before you begin braiding for extra volume and thickness.

Step 2: Create Two Braids

• Take one section of hair and create a French or Dutch braid, starting from your temple and working your way around the side and back of your head. Repeat the same on the other side. Secure each braid with a small elastic band once you reach the end.

Step 3: Wrap the Braids

• Take one braid and wrap it across the top of your head, pinning it securely with bobby pins. Repeat with the other braid, positioning it parallel to the first. Tuck the ends of the braids underneath for a neat finish.

Step 4: Secure and Finish

• Once your crown is securely pinned, add a touch of sparkle with decorative hairpins or a headband. Finish with a strong-hold hairspray to keep the braids in place throughout your holiday celebrations.
