Decked Out Christmas Tree Hair

Half-Up Ornaments
Christmas ornaments look great on a tree, but they look even better nestled in a stunning half-up crown braid. Complete your look with a few sprigs of holly and some red and green temporary dye and you’ll be the talk of your holiday Christmas party.

Holly-Accented Braid
Going to work with an entire Christmas tree on your head may be a lot to ask for, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a work-appropriate compromise! Stick a spring of pine and holly in your hair for a yuletide hairstyle you can wear anywhere.

Christmas Tree Lights
Ornaments get most of the attention on Christmas, but we all know string lights are the real MVP. With this style, you can light up the room with Christmas cheer wherever you go—literally.
Snowflake Ornaments
We’re dreaming of a white Christmas, but climate change may have another idea in mind. If you’re missing snowflakes this holiday season, adorn your hair with snowflake ornaments. Finish your style with Redken’s Triple Dry 15 to give your strands some much-needed texture.
