An elegant, festive hairstyle doesn't always require a big family celebration. Even for your closest circle it's fun to dress up a bit. And a festive occasion, in addition to an elegant outfit, also needs a festive hairstyle. The problem: Anyone who says celebrations and holidays means organizational stress and family gatherings, last-minute errands and hectic pace... And that inevitably means: lack of time.

So that your mane still looks great, we'll show you how you can style the most beautiful holiday hairstyles in no time.

1. Festfrisur: Halboffenes Haar

Half-down styled hair can be achieved by even the most reluctant to style and works best on medium-length and long hair. The highlight of half-open hairstyles: The front section of hair is pinned up or back so that our face remains free and the hair doesn't get in the way when cooking or dancing. In our step-by-step instructions we show you an elegant variant - perfect for Christmas or New Year's Eve.

Step-by-Step Analysis:
1. It is best to wash your hair the day before so that it is nice and manageable.
2. Comb straight and tie the upper section of hair at the back of the head.
3. Then add additional strands of hair from the left side and pin them over the braid with a bobby pin so that the elastic disappears behind it.
4. Repeat the same on the right side.
5. Finally, pin another narrow strand of hair on the left side.
6. Fix everything with hairspray – done!

3. Party hairstyle: Ballerina-Dutt

Bun hairstyles simply never go out of style: from casual and undone to trendy half or macaron buns to classically styled buns. A timeless, elegant option and our favorite for the holidays is the ballerina bun. Here all the hair is kept out of the face and tied tightly at the back of the head. The perfect hairstyle for glamorous eye-catcher earrings.

Re-style the ballerina bun step-by-step:

1. Tie hair into a ponytail. If you like, you can tie a hair pillow around the braid. This way the bun will appear larger in the end.
2. Now tie the hair into a bun around the hair pillow so that the ends of the hair still stick out loosely on the sides.
3. Finally, wrap the ends of the hair around the finished bun so that the elastic band is no longer visible.

If you like, you can also style the finished ballerina bun with a trendy scrunchie, for example made of velvet. The wide elastic band not only looks cool, but also gives the bun more hold.
