The Christmas Tree is twinkling, the hot chocolate is warming, the chestnuts are roasting, and the fireplace is on (or the Fireplace Channel if you're a city dweller with no fireplace). Everything is serene when it suddenly dawns on you...December didn't go quite as slowly as you imagined it would, Christmas is almost here, and you haven't even begun to think of Christmas gifts for your loved ones, let alone start shopping!
Your relaxing night of Christmas coziness just turned into a night of Christmas shopping, and while some may get overwhelmed with the sheer amount of Christmas gift ideas for her and choices out there, we've done the legwork for you. We've rounded up the best Christmas gift ideas for her in the following holiday gift guide, so all you have to do is match the right person with the right category, and shop away.
For the hair lover
1. A low heat hair styler

If you follow Hair, you'll know that we usually prefer heatless hairstyles to preserve the health and integrity of your hair. While there are many ways to achieve heatless curls and waves, most require a few hours to let your hair air dry—until now. Known for its innovative homeware gadgets, Dyson recently forayed into the world of hair, and just released its second product—the Dyson Airwrap—a hair styler that curls hair with the power of air, to manipulate hair strands using a maximum heat setting of 302 F. While definitely a premium product, this Christmas gift idea for her is a long-term investment in healthy hair.
2. A silk pillowcase

Have you ever gone to bed with perfect curls, only to wake up the next morning with messy, tangled hair? This may be due to the type of fabric on your pillowcase. Traditional pillowcases are made of cotton, which dries the hair out and twists it at the root, causing bed-head, long-term damage and thinning. Slip pillowcases are made with pure 100% silk, which has a unique glide and "slip" to it—your hair is treated gently while you sleep, allowing you to wake up with a fresher 'do and even fresher skin. This Christmas gift idea for her is endorsed by the Royals themselves (the Kardashians), so we're definitely giving it a try.
3. A Microfiber Towel

A microfibre towel is key to keeping your locks healthy, preventing split ends, and minimizing frizz when drying your hair. Regular terrycloth towels do not absorb water well and are roughly textured, which leads to damaged and frizzy hair when rubbing your hair dry. Microfiber towels are made with fibers that are even thinner than a strand of silk, leading to a smoother surface and better water absorption. DeVa Curl's DEVATOWEL is a smooth towel that will ensure your hair dries frizz-free, so if you have any curly-haired friends or family out there, this is the perfect Christmas gift for her, however, the DEVATOWEL can be used for hair of all types.
4. A line of 100% natural, organic hair products

We have mentioned in previous blog posts the negative effects traditional hair products have on your hair. Laden with harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, alcohols and sulfates, these products eventually lead to dry, damaged hair. Love Hair's line of hair products is made with 100% natural and organic ingredients like Lavender, Pracaxi, and Jojoba, penetrating hair strands from within to strengthen and nourish them from the inside out. Ranging from shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, hair oil, and dry shampoo, Love Hair treats all your hair problems naturally and effectively. Plus, made with sustainable packaging, the Love Hair's product line is not only a Christmas gift for her but a gift to the environment.
5. Extra volume for their hair

Chances are, your loved one already owns a set of hair extensions, if they're immersed in the world of hair. Sometimes, however, they may just need that extra boost of volume. Hair's Volumizer Wefts are the perfect Christmas gift idea for her in this case, as each weft is made up of 45g of hair and can be worn with a set of hair extensions or on their own.
6. Bonus Stocking Stuffer: The Invisibobble

If it isn't already, the Inivisibobble needs to be a staple in any hair care lover's repertoire of hair accessories. Regular drugstore brand hair ties are harsh on the hair, leading to hair breakage and kinks when your ponytail is removed. The Invisibobble is specifically designed to apply uneven pressure around the ponytail, which ensures that your ponytail is held firmly without your pony feeling too tight and without those pesky kinks. This is the perfect Christmas gift idea for her to stuff your loved one's stocking.

If you know anyone who loves to glam up, this is the Christmas gift idea for her!
