Ahem. Hi, hello! Let this be your friendly reminder to *BOOK* for the holidays. With just 3 weeks until thanksgiving and less than 2 months until Christmas, the time has come to book your seats in a salon chair ASAP.
Now that we’ve set you into full panic mode with how many life goals you haven’t reached before it’s 2020, take a breath, grab a glass of wine (or a la croix - whatever side of the wagon you’re on), and come with us as we file through this holiday season’s most appealing hair trends.
We all know the holidays mean gatherings and outings. You want to look your best. You also diligently plan who you’ll see in which outfit, which night (N.O. repeat offenses people), and with all the parties and happy hours and gift exchanges, this can get daunting even for the deepest closets and pockets. So. What better way to differentiate your look than through that hair?!
We are still loving bows. They are festive and fun and whisper let’s party! without being aggressively off-putting. If you’re looking for more polish for one of your 8 crazy nights, this bow from our faves Lola + Lina packs the perfect amount of festive glam.

Low pony tails are all the rage, and what is more effortless than a low pony? Tie that baby in a velvet ribbon, and you’re the I woke up like this belle of the ball.

We also love this look with a gilded barrette.

Speaking of barrettes… they’re popping up everywhere too. Loving them on the side of the head a la Margo Tennenbaum, and you can also achieve this look by stacking several bobby pins. However, please don’t go too crazy. You’re not Lizzo.
Yes, you’ve seen the headband trend… and while we tend to shy away from something everyoneeeee is doing, this look can come in handy when your outfit just needs a little oomph. Buyer beware though. If you’ve got a face shape that doesn’t lend toward a top-knot headband, please phone a friend to shoot you straight. We like a headband for when the Thanksgiving coma makes jeans too tight, and we need to move the focus upward. You can also get creative here and make your own out of a scarf: just knot it in the middle and tie at the nape of your neck. Make a statement in the of-the-moment neutral navy by sporting this one by LeLe Sadoughi available at Lola + Lina:

Last but not least, we all know the 90s are back (they’re so back they’re almost out), and nothing screams waspy 90’s hair quite like the classic half-up/half-down look of days gone by… And if Duchess Kate says yes to it, so do we.
