It’s not uncommon to want to make a statement at every holiday party this year. When it’s a work party, though, you just might have to tone it down a bit.

Too much glitz and glam might be out of place in a professional office setting. Here are a few of our favorite hairstyles perfect for a holiday office party.

1. Wrapped High Ponytail

High ponytails are all the rage. Trendy public figures like Ariana Grande and Karlie Kloss have popularized the look, making it a simple and elegant statement-making hair-do.

To achieve a beautiful, sleek high ponytail, make sure to straighten your hair with a flat iron, sectioning out portions of your hair to ensure a thorough straightening. Hair la Vie’s 2 oz Serum is the perfect size for travel, which means you can pop it in your purse before work and add a pump to your luscious locks before the party starts!

If you want to wow your officemates, than opt for clip-in hair extensions. InStyle suggests sectioning your hair into three small ponytails on top of your head. Group the sections together, fastening with a bungee cord or hair tie. Wrap a small section of hair around the bungee cord and voila, an elegant wrapped ponytail sure to give you that extra boost of confidence and style for the holiday party.

2. Chignon

A chignon, or a low bun, can be kept professional or be dressed up for any event. For a more chic and professional look, slick back your hair, tying the chignon at the nape of your neck. Finish off the look by warming three drops of Organic Moroccan Oil between your palms and rubbing from the front hairline back to your chignon.

However, for an elegant and playful look at the holiday party, opt for Meghan Markle’s signature hairstyle. Markle’s chignon is messy and loose with an aura of class and sophistication. After fastening the chignon at the nape of the neck, pull tendrils of hair from the front hairline to frame and elongate your face.

3. Top Knot

Top knots, like chignons are a simple way to throw your hair up and look stylish without a ton of effort. It’s the perfect way to hide the fact that you may have forgotten the company holiday party.

If you find yourself in this situation, with a bad case of “second-day hair,” then a sleep top knot is just the ticket. Simply put your hair up into a high ponytail, securing with a bungee cord or hair tie, then wrap the length of your hair around the base and fasten with bobby pins.

If hairspray is available to you at the office, then lock the look in with a few spritzes. If you just can’t find a can to get you the sleek look, maybe a messy top knot is calling your name. While “messy” is in the name, it isn’t the end of the world—messy top knots are definitely hot right now and also radiate an air of fun-natured personality.

4. Accessorize

This is the simplest way to dress up any look whether your hair is long, short, up or down. Try pinning an arrangement of a variety of fresh and dried flowers in your hair. This simple step can do wonders to pull everything together.

If you’re going for an even simpler look that’s more intricate and exudes a cool, punk vibe, try railroad pins—just use various bobby pins on the side of your hair from the temple, traveling backwards to the back of the head.

Even simply letting your hair down and parting it straight down the middle is easy and elegant, but dressing it up with a golden or jeweled pin on each side of the head will do wonders for classing up a professional look. Accessories are the simplest way to add a refreshing bit of style when you need it in a pinch.

Final Thoughts

Whether you have a ton of time to get ready or need a quick and simple look for the office holiday party, some of the best-yet-simple hairstyles can be your best friend.

Just remember to stay relaxed and don’t damage your hair with stress. You should be having as much fun at the end of a great year as your beautiful hair.
