We all know how busy the Christmas period gets, from buying gifts and wrapping them to the joyous get-togethers and the big day itself. However, creating stunning Christmas hairstyles that make you look and feel gorgeous don’t need to take up anymore of your precious time.
With the Dark Burgundy Collection, featuring the Original Iron, Wide Iron, and Airshot Pro, you can create endless looks while prioritising your hair’s long-lasting health. Here are our top five Christmas hair ideas using our latest collection for those looking for cute and easy Christmas hairstyles this season and beyond.
‘Barely-There’ Waves
Effortless waves are an all-year-round favourite style of ours here at Cloud Nine, and this elevated look ranks high in our list of cute Christmas hairstyles. Created using the Wide Iron, this look is one of the most adaptable, versatile, and effortless to pull off – perfect for your hectic Christmas schedule.
Step 1: Prepare the hair by applying a small amount of Magical Remedy through the mid-lengths and ends to even out your hair’s porosity.
Step 2: Apply a lightweight heat protectant, such as the Cloud Nine Magical Quick Dry Potion.
Step 3: Lightly mist each section with your preferred hairspray for extra hold and a long-lasting finished look.
Step 4: Working in 2cm rectangular sections, take the Cloud Nine Wide Iron and pass each section through the plates horizontally. Rotate the iron clockwise (towards you) as you glide through the hair to create large, deep waves.
Step 5: Allow the curls to cool and set naturally. Once cooled, apply another small amount of Magical Remedy and gently run it through the waves to soften and loosen them into a subtle, barely-there movement.
A Low Sloane Pony
This sleek, Chelsea-inspired Christmas hairstyle enhances both natural and styled waves, offering a glamorous look that's perfect for any festive occasion – while staying effortlessly low-maintenance all day or night. Characterised by an elegant twist that can be elevated with any of your favourite Christmas accessories, this is a guaranteed staple for the festive season.
Step 1: Take a small section of hair from each side near your ears and leave them out to frame your face.
Step 2: Gather the rest of your hair into a ponytail and secure it with an elastic band or hair-tie.
Step 3: Take the face-framing strands you left out earlier and bring them back.
Step 4: Wrap the ends of those front strands around the base of your ponytail to conceal the elastic. Pin them in place underneath to keep it secure and add a polished touch.
Step 5: Finish with a light mist of texture spray for added volume and hold, and voilà. There’s your simple yet sophisticated pony to take you through until the end of the season.
Sleek Glass-Like Hair
If you’re looking for an easy Christmas hairstyle that will leave those around you speechless, this look should be on your inspiration board. Surprisingly easy, this high-fashion look requires just one iron – either the Original Iron or the Wide Iron – to create a style that is guaranteed to wow.
Step 1: Start off with a pea sized amount of Cloud Nine’s Magical Remedy formula throughout the lower half of your hair – or any highly bleached areas, if applicable – to even out your hair’s porosity.
Step 2: Use an anti-frizz or a light working hairspray of your choice throughout your hair.
Step 3: Take 1.5cm horizontal sections of the hair and run your preferred straighteners through them, making sure to turn on Revive Mode®.
Step 4: Using the Chase Method, put your Luxury Texture Comb in place and position your straightener plates around each section of the hair, working from root to tip. Pass the iron through the hair twice on each section, sealing in all the moisture and ensuring cuticles are flat and light reflective.
Step 5: Finish with a lightweight hairspray of your choice and enjoy a sleek and stylish look all night long.
Bumped Bob
Step 1: Prep the hair using a heat protectant, such as the Magical Quick Dry Potion.
Step 2: Spritz the hair using a lightweight hairspray of your choice.
Step 3: Take the underneath section of the hair and bump out the hair sitting from the nape, taking the iron in from a horizonal angle while creating a ‘C’ motion.
Step 4: Depending on how tight you want the flick of your bob, keep with the Original Iron, or switch up to the Wide Iron for deeper movement.
Step 5: Finish with your favourite setting products and enjoy one of our favourite cute Christmas hairstyles.
Natural, Bouncy Curls
Curls are always a good idea. The perfect look to recreate on coily, type 4 hair, this easy Christmas hairstyle can be elevated by the addition of Christmas bows, clips, and other festive accessories.
The Airshot Pro is the secret to perfecting this gorgeous look quickly and kindly, with its Magnetic Diffuser ensuring even heat distribution and making glossy, frizz-free hair an everyday reality.
Step 1: Lightly mist the hair with water, then apply your chosen bond builder throughout.
Step 2: Distribute the Cloud Nine Magical Remedy evenly through the hair to balance porosity.
Step 3: Apply your preferred styling mousse section by section, encouraging your natural curl pattern to form.
Step 4: Using the Airshot Pro with a diffuser attachment, cup the curls into the diffuser and set the hairdryer to medium speed and medium heat. Continue to diffuse your curls gently to enhance their natural shape.
Step 5: Once dry, select a few sections to refine using the Curling Wand for added definition. Enjoy rehydrated, strong looking curls all night long.
