Summer is officially over. Now that temperatures have dropped, we're ready to start thinking about all the fun winter activities we have to look forward to: snow days, holiday parties, peppermint everything, TV show premieres, and so much more! But winter can also bring some seriously harsh weather. We all know about braving the elements with heavy coats and cozy socks, but you also need a chic winter hairstyle that can stay looking great through it all, no matter how grey and dreary the weather.
We're taking inspiration from some of our favorite celebrities, ranging from beautiful updos and beach waves to headbands and glitter looks that are easy to recreate at home. Good to know: You may need a curling iron, hair dryer, or flat iron to achieve some of the below looks. And if you're not quite ready to think about winter, check out fall hairstyle trends. Start planning your hair look for the holidays and every other day with these trendy winter hairstyles:
Tousled Bob
Just in time for season 4 of This is Us, loosen up your locks and channel Mandy Moore's wavy bob. Use a 1" curling wand to get a uniform curl pattern, then once the style has cooled off, run your fingers through your hair to get this relaxed look.
Elegant Top Knot
Gabrielle Union knows that end-of-the-year parties are all about the glitz and glam — after all, it's time to celebrate! A chic top knot is a great hairdo when you don't have a ton of time to curl or straighten your tresses.
Statement Headbands
Leave it to model Ashley Graham to make us smile just by adding a fun hair accessory to her red carpet look. Use one with an elegant updo for a night out, or add one to disguise and dress up a bad (or lazy!) hair day.
Long, Glossy Locks
No, you don't need to splurge on a professional blowout to replicate Jessica Alba's glamorous curls. All you need is a steady hand and a large round brush, a hair dryer brush or a 2" curling iron.
Loose Polished Waves
A slight curl at the tips of her hair give Eva Longoria a sophisticated look. No matter if you have two or 10 minutes, you can easily pull off an effortless beach wave.
Messy Beach Waves
No matter where you actually are, if you want to feel like you're by the beach, follow Gwenyth Paltrow's effortless lead. Use a curling iron on your locks, then smooth them over with a shine spray to make them look slightly more polished.
Glitter Play
Get playful with your holiday look by adding a burst of glitter to your hair, like Julianne Hough! To get the look, mix your glitter with a dollop of hair gel, then carefully place in desired areas. Add more depending on how intense you want the look to be, and then set the glitter with a strong hairspray to keep it in check.
Full Blown Bangs
Dare to take the chop and get bangs similar to Jameela Jamil's to switch things up this winter. With so many ways to style bangs, you're bound to have a lot of fun. Not ready to commit? Try them out by using clip-ins instead!
Timeless Middle Part
Victoria's Secret model Lily Aldridge knows that a simple, sleek look can be the chicest style choice of all.
Natural Curls
To get Sandra Oh's beautiful natural curls, use a diffuser to blow dry your hair in order to keep and protect your curl pattern.
Blunt Bob
Sleek your style with the help of a flat iron to get hair as straight and polished as Jennifer Lopez's. GH pro tip: Use a heat protectant and a shine spray to keep your hair shiny and healthy.
Straight Back Braids
Style natural hair à la Tiffany Haddish by rocking fashion-forward long braids this holiday season.
Loose Front Strands
Like Nicole Kidman, upgrade a classic pony or updo by keeping about 1" sections of hair loose from the style. This softens the look and gently frames your face!
Dainty Hair Accessories
Make any hairdo look feminine and whimsical by adding dainty pearls throughout the style. It's easy to weave them through a braid or add them as an accent in a top knot.
