Holiday Hairstyles: 7 Easy Updos for Thin Hair
1. Bedazzled Bun
One of the easiest ways to disguise the appearance of fine or thin hair is to add some sparkle to your updo! The addition of sparkling hair accessories draws the eye away from thinning areas.
2. Half Knot
While this Christmas hairstyle is only a half updo, we still think it counts! Once again, the addition of sparkling hair clips adds dimension and interest to fine and thinning hair. Giving your hair some bend with a curling iron will also help your hair to look thicker and fuller.
3. Curly Top Knot
Curly girls are lucky because the natural wave in their hair creates extra volume. We love this holiday hairstyle because you can style your baby hairs to create the appearance of a thicker-looking hairline. The curly tendrils on the sides disguise thinning around the ears, making hair look thicker and fuller overall.
4. Bun with Scrunchie
An elastic scrunchie adds volume to your bun, which can make your hair look fuller overall. To give this simple hairstyle a holiday twist, use a dressy fabric like velvet or satin. We also love how this Christmas hairstyle has face-framing bangs, which bring attention to the face and make hair look thicker.
5. Holiday Updo with Novelty Accessories
When in doubt, accessorize! Choosing fun novelty accessories like reindeer antlers or a Santa hat is another way to distract the eye from fine or thinning hair. We love how this holiday hairstyle uses curled tendrils to frame the face, which has the bonus of distracting from a thinning hairline.
6. Relaxed Chignon
A simple, relaxed chignon is another excellent holiday hairstyle option for fine and thin hair. Make sure to wave your hair with a curling iron before you style it into a chignon, as this will give your hair extra volume and texture. Pull out a few face-framing tendrils for a flattering look.
7. Faux Pompadour
A little teasing and hairspray give this holiday hairstyle lots of body at the crown. This makes hair look thicker overall, and also creates the appearance of more chiseled cheekbones. Pair this Christmas hairstyle with sparkling earrings for a festive look!
