Snazzy, wig-friendly updos to complete your Christmas party look

With our social calendars more jam packed than ever, you’re certain to be thinking about which Christmas party looks you’ll want to rock this season. Getting truly party ready however, comes down to so much more than the right outfit choice.

How you accessorise your outfit is the key to creating the perfect Christmas party look, and the greatest accessory you can play with is your wig. These days, human hair and synthetic wigs are much more versatile, which means you’ll be able to experiment with a huge choice of styles.

The updo is a great style for special occasions like Christmas parties, cocktail events, festive outings, and meals as Women Hair Styles explains:

“Updos are vital for special occasion hairstyles. They are perfect for more formal events, but you can also have an updo that is perfect for more casual or romantic looks. If you don’t have enough length for a curly or intricate updo then you can always purchase clip-in hair extensions at your local beauty store. Rather you choose a traditional French twist or a stunning curly chignon, you can’t go wrong with an updo.”

Finding a snazzy, wig-friendly updo that does your Christmas party look justice is simple with the following updo hairstyle ideas…

Pinned to perfection

Updos don’t have to be too revealing or too neat, which is great news if you’re concerned about exposing your hairline or ensuring that wig wear remains discreet.

With just a few bobby pins, you can create a beautifully messy, on-trend updo that keeps your hairline hidden and your wig secure. Use a wig brush to backcomb hair at the front, sides and back, creating a cushion of hair for pinning at the top.

To finish, use your fingers to circle around the hairline to loosen up the style and let some strands drop.

All wrapped up

Hair wraps don’t have to be casual. Whilst hair wraps are great for an easy, breezy, everyday updo, with the right wig style, they can be used to create a stunning party look.

Curly wigs look particularly fabulous with a hair wrap. Make the look effortless by letting hair fall to the front of the wrap to create a curly, side swept fringe, and pin the rest in a ponytail before concealing your hairline with one of our hair wraps.

Standout in style

For a sleeker, more modern hairstyle to complement your Christmas party look, try a high ponytail. If you have natural hair to work with, you can add that all-important length with a ponytail add-on.

If you’re looking to embrace a more elaborate style, twist and braid your hair to add shape and interest to transform the basic high ponytail into a truly standout style. You can use this style long after Christmas party season, with this neat and smooth look perfect for working out in your wig.

The up and down do

The half-up half-down hairstyle is a popular look for special occasions, and contrary to popular belief, it’s very wig friendly.

Short and long wigs look great in this style, and it’ll cut the time it takes you to prepare for your Christmas party dramatically. You could even add a fringe to transform your look completely and wow your work colleagues.
