Festive Hairstyle for Christmas

Another easy way to style your hair for Christmas is this effortless, romantic updo.

Lilith creates the hairstyle on shoulder-length hair in the video, but continues giving tips and ideas for people with longer hair, too.

Even though this hairdo definitely looks festive, you don’t need any special skills to create it. Just patience and looooots of bobby pins.

Again, if you don’t like going crazy jumping after falling bobby pins, I really recommend getting the magnet*. Consider it an early Christmas gift to yourself!

And while it takes me longer than 3 minutes to recreate this updo, it doesn’t take half an hour either. Just try it!
