Festive Holiday Natural Hairstyles!
Mariah Carey has defrosted and the most wonderful time of year has officially commenced! Keep reading below for FOUR holiday natural hairstyles to liven up your hair this season.
Bedazzled Low Bun
This look is sure to turn heads and is perfect for any indoor gathering or a night out on the town!💃🏾 Prep your tresses for this and any style with moisturized strands. Starting with hair that is adequately moisturized allows you to manipulate your hair more easily, and reduces any potential breakage that may occur during the styling process.
Once your hair is fully moisturized, use a comb to part your hair down the middle. A rat tail come works wonders in making your part neat!😤 Smooth each side of your hair with a brush (adding your favorite gel if needed), and gather your hair into a low bun.

Pearl-Studded Straight Backs⚪️
Glammed up protective style? Yes, please! If you’re rocking straight backs this holiday season, you can get festive, too! A regal look on its own, straight backs provide protection and can be worn all month long. Simply part your hair in even sections and braid, straight back. 😆 Add your favorite braiding hair if length or more thickness is desired.
@ravenj1018 No stitch straight backs for the win 🤣 #domyhairwithme #straightbackbraids #blackgirlhairstyles #blackgirltiktok #naturalhairstyles #blackgirl ♬ Boy's a liar Pt. 2 - PinkPantheress & Ice Spice
Take this look to the next level by gathering braids into a low bun and dispersing pearls or any other hair jewelry throughout the braid.
Confetti Bun🎊@tre.akula Its never dat serious fr 🤗 #fyp #4u #masc #hairtok @bloomhairart ♬ original sound - Showtime Romeo
Nothing says fun and festive like confetti! 🎊 This hairstyle is great for ringing in the new year, 🥂 and is quick and easy to achieve.
Things you’ll need:
- Synthetic hair matching your hair texture. (Type 4 curlfriends, cuban hair will do!)
- Confetti🎊
- Spray Adhesive
- Ribbon Tie
Step 1: Take your synthetic hair and split into three sections and tease. Be sure to avoid combing out the very ends of the hair to keep it neat!
Step 2: Working in half sections, spray the adhesive onto the synthetic hair
Step 3: Sprinkle on the confetti! 🎊
✨Pro Tip✨: Be sure to add confetti immediately, as spray adhesive dries quickly.
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all synthetic hair is covered in confetti
Step 5: Loop ribbon tie around the synthetic hair through itself and set aside
Step 6: Place your natural hair in a high or low bun. (Both work perfectly for this style! 🤗)
Step 7: After synthetic hair has dried, place over your natural hair using the ribbon tie and create a bun. VOILA! You have a fun style for all the holiday parties!
Blinged Out Bobby Pin Bun
Take your bun to the next level with blinged out bobby pins! Similar to the bedazzled low bun, part your hair in the middle and smooth each side with your favorite gel if needed. Then simply add 4-5 designed bobby pins on each side of your head for your next party look! For some added versatility, switch up the location of your part before gathering into a bun, or leave it out and sport your favorite kinky, coily or curly ‘fro.
Happy Holidays! We hope to see all your festive looks on the 'gram! Share your looks with us using the hashtag #MelaninBae and tag @MelaninHaircare on all your favorite social media platforms!
