The Ultimate Christmas Day Hair Looks — From Sunrise to Sparkle

Christmas Day is packed with moments — and photos. Whether you're sipping coffee in your pyjamas, carving the ham, or clinking glasses into the evening, your hair should be as ready as you are. Here's your cheat sheet to the best Christmas Day hairstyles — with styling tips and product picks from your favourite Hair Gang brands.

1. Morning Glow: Soft Waves with Volume

For: Early morning gift opening, family breakfast, and relaxed robe-core vibes.

Go for barely-there waves and that “fresh but festive” glow.
How to style it:

• Start with O&M Atonic Thickening Spritz on damp hair for heat protection and volume.

• Use a large-barrel tong to curl mid-lengths, then brush out for a relaxed wave.

• Finish with ELEVEN Australia Give Me Hold Flexible Hairspray — lightweight, non-crunchy, and humidity-resistant.

2. Sleek Low Bun: Hot-Weather Chic

For: Christmas lunch, outdoor dining, or staying cool but put-together.

The perfect style for hot days when you still want to look polished.
How to style it:

• Smooth hair back using NAK Hair Slick Pomade for shine and hold without stickiness.

• Twist into a low bun and secure with pins.

• Add a silk ribbon or gold cord around the base for an elegant touch.

• Spritz with R+CO Neon Lights Dry Oil Spray for a soft, glossy finish.

3. Half-Up Bow: Playful & Pretty

For: Backyard grazing tables, mid-afternoon spritzes, and beachy selfies.

A hairstyle that’s as easy as it is charming.
How to style it:

• Prep roots with ORI Lab Lift & Volume Mousse for fullness.

• Curl the lengths lightly with a wand, then section off the top half.

• Secure with a clear elastic and wrap a velvet ribbon around it.

• Lock it in with NAK Fixation Finishing Spray.

4. Boho Braided Crown

For: Beachside picnics, garden hangs, and dancing under the fairy lights.

Keeps hair off your face and looks like you made an effort
How to style it:

• Part hair down the middle, braid each side, and cross over the crown. Spritz Evo Salty Dog Spray for some texture.

• Pin in place and gently pull sections loose for volume.

• Use Davroe Brilliance Shine Mist to add a soft halo glow and keep flyaways down.

5. Festive Party Look: Glam Waves + Accessories

For: Christmas dinner, champagne toasts, and golden hour glam.

End the day with a little sparkle.
How to style it:

• Start with ELEVEN Australia Dry Finish Texture Spray to add grip and body.

• Re-touch your waves and accessorise with gold pins, pearl clips, or a beaded headband.

• For extra hydration and shine, scrunch in a drop of Juuce Smooth Enz Leave-In Treatment to the ends.
  

🎁 Pro Tip: Prep & Protect

The secret to any Christmas hair look? Healthy, hydrated strands.
We recommend treating your hair the night before with the NAK Structure Complex Protein Conditioner, or spritzing through ORI Lab Restore Treatment Mist while getting ready to add softness and manageability.
