The holiday season is officially here, and the calendar seems to be running the gamut from office parties to casual mornings at home.
So I have put together a few festive hairstyles for curly hair to take some of the fuss out of getting ready, no matter what your plans look like.
1. Old Hollywood Curly Hair
If you are on the hunt for something a bit more intricate, you are going to be obsessed with these Old Hollywood curls.
The three-way parting is such an alluring detail. I know the length might not be for everyone, but it is undeniably elegant.
2. Extra Long Wide Curly Hair
This is another one of those looks that makes me seriously wish for longer locks. Just look at that length!
If you are lucky enough to have hair this long, this side-parted style is a total must-have for the holidays.
3. Simple Textured Curly Hair with Bangs
Textured curls often lean a bit shaggy, and I am here for it.
If you are a fan of that effortless shag vibe, this is definitely the holiday hairstyle for you.
4. Short Curly Bob Haircut
Is it even a hair roundup without a chic bob?
This might not be the curliest version out there, but between the sleek finish, the center part, and that perfect length, it is easily one of the prettiest options.
5. Long Natural Hair with Curls
Growing your hair out naturally can be a total journey, but the payoff is so rewarding.
Having this much length not only lets you rock this chic center-parted look, but you can also pull off almost any style on this list.
6. Chic Brown Hair with Curls and Bangs
If you are looking for a bold idea that screams volume, this chic brown style is it.
Between the invisible center part and the thick, curly texture, this look naturally belongs in your rotation.
7. Extra Long Blonde Loose Curly Hair
The holidays aren’t just for dark hair; this loose curly style is such an excellent idea for the blondes out there.
Leaving this adorable center-parted look off the list would have been a total crime.
8. Party Curly Hair
If you are prepping for a holiday bash, this black party hair is a total no-brainer.
It isn’t just your standard curly look; the side sweep gives it a unique vibe that is so incredibly cute.
9. Centre-Parted Curly Hair
Nailing this subtle center-parted look might seem easy, but it can actually be a bit tricky.
If you are willing to put in the effort, though, I can promise you the result is totally worth it.
10. Pixie Haircut with Curls
I love a good pixie, and when you combine that cut with curls? It’s just miles better.
Opt for a black curly pixie with a little height and you have one of the best holiday looks ever.
11. Medium Length Curly Hair with Bangs
Adding bangs to medium-length curls is a fool-proof way to instantly elevate your look.
Add in a little fluffing and you have one of the best styles for the season.
12. Balayage Curly Hair with Highlights
The balayage here creates such a natural brown-blonde dimension, making this one of the prettiest options I’ve seen.
The medium length is just right, and that center part is the perfect finishing touch.
13. Extra Thick and Long Curly Hair
This is another gorgeous idea for anyone rocking dark, curly locks.
You will need a bit of length and volume to pull this off, but I promise the result is amazing—just see for yourself!
14. Short Blonde Curly Hair with Bangs
Bangs aren’t typically super obvious on curly hair, but when you get them to look this good at this length? You deserve an award.
This is hands down one of the best short curly styles I’ve come across.
15. Classic Black Curly Hair
Black is beautiful, which is why this classic curly look with a center part works so well.
I am also a huge fan of the volume here; it adds that extra flair to an already charming style.
16. Curly Updo with Bangs
This color combo really makes the updo pop, creating one of the best holiday hairstyles on the list.
You don’t need insane length or extreme volume for this; it is simple, short, and absolutely adorable.
17. Fluffy Short Loose Curly Hair
This fluffy, loose style is the definition of cute. It’s perfect if you want something that feels relaxed yet totally festive.
18. Mixed-tone Curly Hair with Bangs
Now that we’ve covered black and blonde, here is an excellent idea for the brunettes.
The black-brown dimension is just perfect, and the combo of bangs and a center part makes it look so much better.
19. Bold Red and Black Curly Hair
Why limit yourself to just one color when you can mix two?
This red and black curly style with bangs isn’t just bold, it is also unmistakably cute.
20. High Messy Updo for Curly Hair
A high updo totally works for curly hair, as you can see right here.
You can spice things up with a frontal and a pretty smile—that is really all you need for an excellent Christmas look.
21. Light Blonde Hair with Bold Colors
We haven’t seen too many blonde ideas yet, so here is one to bridge the gap.
You might debate whether this is wavy or curly, but the allure is unarguable; this style is simply beautiful.
22. Long Hair with Tight Curls
Some hairstyles just make you wish your hair was a little bit longer, and this is definitely one of them.
With that chic center part, leaving this style off the list would be a major mistake.
23. Side-Parted Short Curly Hair
We’ve seen some elegant short styles, but here is another great one for Christmas.
I am a big believer in the side-parted look, and these well-defined curls will certainly turn heads.
24. Classic Long Centre-Parted Curly Hair
A simple center-parted style is an excellent way to show up to any holiday party, especially if you have some length.
It works on any color, but this black demo proves it can never go wrong.
25. Voluminous Long Curly Hair
Long, voluminous, curly hair already makes for an adorable style, especially in black.
Sweep it to the side and throw in a beautiful smile for a stunning Christmas look.
26. Mixed-Coloured Afro Curly Hair
You can totally rock your curls in an afro and look this adorable.
The brown color is stunning on its own, but the charm of the blonde highlights and that bright smile is undeniable.
27. Brunette Mid-Length Curly Hair
If your hair falls somewhere between long and short, these sleek curls with a center part should work for you.
While this idea is on brown hair, I see it working just as well on black or blonde, too.
28. Cute Mixed-Tone Long Curly Hair
If you can’t decide between brown or black, you really don’t have to choose.
By mixing black with brown, you create this dimensional mixed-tone look that is unmistakably stunning.
29. Extra Thick Shoeg Curly Hair
This extra-thick style works wonders for those with volume, and it isn’t super curl-heavy.
If you want a quick style for a holiday party, look no further.
30. Messy Curls with Layers and Bangs
Anyone with some volume to play with will love these messy curls with bangs.
I am also a fan of the layers; they add a unique allure that makes the style stunning.
31. Short Curly Hair with Fringe
If the bangs from the previous style appealed to you, this short look with a full fringe is even better.
The golden brown color is exceptional, and I would wear this on Christmas any day.
32. Extra Long Curly Hair with Bangs
Side-swept curls make for an awesome holiday hairstyle, especially when they are this long.
The best part is that you can sweep it to any side and it would look equally good.
33. Very Short Curly Hair with Bangs
Short-haired ladies deserve to look great for the holidays too, and here is a style that helps you achieve that.
Pairing very short curls with bangs and a smile creates one of the prettiest looks.
34. Layered Curly Hair with Bangs
This sleek layered style looks effortlessly pretty, and it is honestly hard to pinpoint exactly why.
The voluminous, bouncy look is a big factor, but you shouldn’t discount the impact of that center part.
35. French Long Curly Hair
If you count this as curly, it is easily one of the best holiday styles out there.
The relatively straight background seamlessly transitions into those French curls, making for such a pretty hairstyle.
36. Full Golden Curls
This golden color isn’t quite blonde, but it looks almost equally pretty. The center part also seems perfect, making this one of the best mid-length ideas for the season.
Hope you love these ideas! Whether you’re staying home or heading out to a party, I hope you found the perfect look to make your holidays a little more special. Enjoy every minute!
