The secret to great Christmas hair lies in its ease. In between last-minute wrapping, drinks to pour and whole meals to whip up, there simply isn’t time for anything high-maintenance. These three styles are designed to look considered but feel easy – the kind you can do quickly, forget about, and rely on from midday to midnight.
The chignon is making its return. Our founder Luke points to Hailey Bieber’s recent takes as proof – it’s unfussy, modern and wearable. Start by misting Air Dry Spray through the hair to add a little grit. Pull it back into a low ponytail, then twist and secure at the nape. Keep it deliberately imperfect, loosening the bun slightly and pulling a few soft strands free at the front. Simple, chic – and practical enough to last all day.
Big, luxurious waves are an easy way to elevate even Christmas Day pyjamas. Just look to Mia Goth, who has worn her long hair beautifully this year – soft, glossy and undone in the best way. Start by applying Almost Everything Cream to damp hair. Blow-dry until around 80 per cent dry, then switch to the round brush on The Multi-Tasker, working through the lengths to create gentle movement towards the ends. The result is a brushed-out wave that looks as expensive as it feels.
Want your hair completely out of the way? A sculptural bun is the answer. Greta Lee is the perfect reference point for this quietly striking look. Brush through the hair to create a smooth base, then work a small amount of Almost Everything Cream through the lengths to add shine and tame flyaways. Pull the hair into a ponytail at the crown and secure with a hair tie. Twist or roll the length into a bun and pin (or tie) in place.Finish by loosening a few strands out of the bun for a culptural feel – or play with how many times you knot the hair for a more elaborate look.
