Traditional Christmas Tree Hairstyles
The most recognizable Christmas tree hairstyles feature a cascade of locks or braids adorned with festive ornaments. They're easy to achieve and perfect for those who want to keep it classic.
While these hairstyles are often seen on long-haired beauties, there are plenty of ways to recreate the look on shorter hair. Here are a couple of ideas to get you started:
Cascading Curls
For those with long, wavy or curly hair, cascading curls is a simple yet stunning Christmas tree hairstyle. Start by curling your hair with a curling iron, then gently tug at the curls to create a looser, more tousled look. Attach mini Christmas ornaments and bows to your curls, allowing them to cascade down your back like tinsel on a tree.
To add some height and drama, tease the roots and pin back a section of hair at the crown. This will create a voluminous base for your curls to cascade from, and you'll be left with a hairstyle that's festive and fabulous.
Braided Tree
Braided tree hairstyles are a gorgeous twist on traditional Christmas tree looks. They're perfect for those with long, straight hair and can be customized to suit your personal style.
Begin by creating a deep side part and French braiding your hair along your hairline, crossing the braid over to the other side. Continue French braiding the entire way down, adding in mini Christmas ornaments as you go. Once you reach the nape of your neck, secure the braid with an elastic and gently tug at the loops to loosen the braid and create volume.

F Himmelfarb'sORKexotic
F Himmelfarb's exotic take on the Christmas tree hairstyle incorporates fishtail braids, volume, and statement-making accessories. Start by teasing sections of hair at the crown and brushing them into a rounded, cone-like shape. Secure the teased sections with bobby pins and hide them under a bold, jeweled hairpiece. Braid the rest of your hair into a loose fishtail, allowing it to cascade down your back like a braided waterfall. Add a few mini ornaments to your braid for a touch of festive cheer.
To complete the look, add a swipe of deep, dramatic lipstick and a smoky eye. You'll be the undisputed star of the party, turning heads with your show-stopping hairstyle and bold beauty look.
P.randint Fishtail Tree
For a more bohemian take on the Christmas tree hairstyle, opt for a prism-inspired fishtail braid. Begin by parting your hair down the middle and French braiding both sides, securing them with elastics at the nape of your neck. Divide each braid into two sections and create a fishtail by picking up a small piece from one section and crossing it over to the other. Repeat this process, alternating sides as you work your way down the braid. Secure each braid with an elastic once you reach the ends.
Arrange the braids in a V-shape at the back of your head, sandwiching a mini Christmas tree ornament between them. Conceal the elastics with a chunky, festive bow and give your braids a gentle tug to create soft, fluffy volume. This hairstyle is equal parts whimsical and chic, making it the perfect choice for a winter wedding or a cozy holiday gathering.
