We all know that Thanksgiving is one of the best times of the year. It’s a day for you to kick back, eat delicious food, drink wine, spend time with your fam, and remember all the blessings in your life.
Oh, and we can’t forget those killer sales at Ulta!
But here’s the thing… sometimes, Thanksgiving can be hectic.
Maybe you’ll be up at 6 am to prep a turkey. You could have several engagements to attend. Perhaps you’ll be traveling. Or maybe you’ll just be slaving away in the kitchen all day long (tip: wine makes everything better).
Whatever your story is, I’m sure you want to look good without spending hours on your hair. And you probably need a little hair inspo, right? Well, this is where I come in…
Here are 10 of my top favorite Thanksgiving hairstyles for you to try this year, with tutorials on how to do each of them!

1. Pull-Through Braid Updo
📷Credit: Annies Forget Me KnotsPull-through braids are one of my favorite hair tricks around. This style gives the illusion of a voluptuous pancaked braid but doesn’t require any actual braiding skills.
If you know how to section your hair off into small ponytails, you can master the pull-through braid.
The great thing about this hairstyle is that it’s super quick and easy to do, and you can incorporate it into so many other hairstyles.
I absolutely love this updo tutorial by Annies Forget Me Knots… it’s the perfect Thanksgiving hairstyle. It’s fun and fancy, but not too formal. Oh… and it only takes a few minutes to do.
Check it out…
2. Soft Waves
📷Credit: @shearperfectionbystaceyWavy bobs have been all the rage this year. I absolutely love the subtle texture and volume you can add to your hair with a little bit of soft waving.
It doesn’t take much time to do, and it just gives you the perfect pop.
Brianna Fox shows you a straightforward way to wave your hair without a ton of effort.
3. Low Messy Bun

I absolutely love this “easier than it looks updo” tutorial by Kate from The Small Things Blog.
4. Mohawk Dutch Braid

5. Slightly ImPerfect Ballerina Bun

I really like this tutorial by Hayley Larue, since she creates a perfectly imperfect bun by just teasing the hair. Of course, you can always use a donut or hairpiece for extra oomph, but I’m impartial to the messier look.
6. Twisted Half-Updo
📷Credit: @okevaaaHalf-up hairstyles are super trendy this year, and guess what? They make amazing Thanksgiving hairstyles. It’s so easy to twist your hair into a romantic half-updo with minimal work.
This video by Alex Gaboury has several different tutorials, but she shows you how to do the twisted half-updo in the first part of the video.
7. A Fancyish Ponytail
📷Credit: @paulmitchelleduPonytails are pretty easy to do, but there are some tricks you can learn to spruce them up a bit.
Check out this awesome video by Fashionistas to learn some tricks from the pros!
8. Double Dutch Braids
📷Credit: @brittsullyI’m all about the chunky pancake braids this year. And what’s better than one thick Dutch braid? TWO THICK DUTCH BRAIDS!
Here is another video from Missy Sue! Don’t judge… I’m kinda obsessed with her. She’s pretty much the best person ever to teach you how to braid like a champ.
9. Vintage Roll

I absolutely LOVE this simple hack by Taylor White. She shows you the easiest way EVER to create this look by using a Conair classic vintage roll tool.
But of course, you can also always just the headband hack (learn how to do it from Milabu here!)
10. half-up high topknot
