Holiday Hair Goals: Styles That Turn Heads and Stay Hydrated
How Winter Weather Impacts Hair
Cold air outside and dry indoor heat pull moisture from your strands. For textured hair, this can show up as:
- Frizz
- Dullness
- Rough or brittle ends
- Loss of definition
- Hard-to-hold styles
Hydration becomes the foundation of every great holiday look.
Build Your Holiday Hair Routine
Before exploring styles, set a routine that supports moisture:
- Start wash day with a hydrating deep conditioner
- Use a leave-in moisturizer every time you style
- Seal moisture with oil, especially on the ends
- Reduce heat where possible
- Sleep in satin or silk
RevAir’s Extreme Hydration Collection is a smart seasonal toolkit that keeps hair soft and manageable throughout winter glam season.
Style Idea 1: Glossy Low Bun
The low bun is sophisticated, smooth, and works for cocktail parties or elegant dinners.
How to get the look:
- Begin with moisturized hair.
- Use the Hydrating Leave-In Conditioning Spray to soften and smooth the hairline.
- Stretch with the Reverse-Air Dryer for a sleek base.
- Gather hair low at the nape and secure.
- Finish with a few drops of Moisture Rich Scalp and Hair Oil for shine.
Why it works:
Sleek styles require moisture to avoid stiffness and flaking. A glossy bun pairs hydration with polish.
Style Idea 2: Defined Twist Outs With Velvet or Gold Accessories
Holiday accessorizing elevates a classic twist-out into holiday glam.
Prep essentials:
Start with a hydration-focused wash day. The Deep Conditioning Treatment gives curls the structure and softness they need for juicy twists.
Styling tips:
- Create uniform twists for even definition
- Let them dry fully before unraveling
- Add festive ribbons, cuffs, or pins to the sides

Style Idea 4: Holiday Half Up, Half Down
This works beautifully for long and medium-length hair, adding shape and height.
Pro Tip:
Use the Reverse-Air Dryer to lightly stretch roots for a smoother half-up section while keeping natural curl definition in the bottom half. This prevents frizz and adds gentle lift.
Style Idea 5: Protective Styles With Seasonal Flair
Braids, faux ponytails, and twists are perfect for packed social calendars. They stay neat for days or weeks and pair well with holiday glam accessories.
Prep reminders:
- Start with a clean, hydrated scalp
- Use a moisturizing shampoo like the Cleansing Oil Shampoo
- Avoid tight tension
- Keep hair moisturized under the style with a light oil mist
How to Maintain Holiday Styles
To keep your look vibrant through multiple events:
- Sleep in a bonnet or satin pillowcase
- Reapply leave-in to refresh dry areas
- Avoid over-styling edges
- Use a humidifier indoors to help retain moisture
- Deep condition weekly to reset hydration levels
The Bottom Line
Holiday glam should never come at the expense of hair health. With moisture-first prep and texture-friendly techniques, your style will shine as brightly as the season itself.
