We've reached the holiday season, and what better way to celebrate than by infusing a dose of individuality and flair into your festive look?

Braids and Twists – The Holiday Hairstyle of 2023

Braids, braids, everywhere! Braids are IN this year. Be on top of the trend for your holiday gathering(s) by weaving in this stylish look. Utilize intricate detailing to channel candy cane stripes, snowflake patterns, or a woven wreath. These styles not only look enchanting but also showcase your creativity.

SmartLace Lite wigs are a great option if you choose to wear an updo this year. Each Lite style is lightweight, light hair density, and has a hyper-realistic ear-to-ear lace front, designed specifically for off-the-face hairstyles. You’ll feel confident knowing your secret is safe with us!

We also recommend using a styling product like Jon Renau Holding Spray for synthetic fiber and Versatile 3-Way Hair Spray for human hair. Jon Renau Pick Me Up dry shampoo is another great product to improve grip for any fiber.

BOLD Colors – A Call for Vibrance

Vibrant hair colors are wonderful for a festive look that turns heads. Whether your vibe is winter wonderland or the warmth of a cozy fireplace, consider going bold with vibrant hues. From icy whites, greys and blues like Storm, Sleet and Glacier to fiery reds like our fan-favorite color, Chocolate Cherry, the possibilities are as endless. Explore the Arctic Color Collection.

Edgy Cuts and Styles – A Rebel at Heart

Opt for an edgy cut or style that breaks away from the norm. Whether you choose a blunt cut A-line style or add texture to your pixie, feel a touch of rebellion in your holiday ensemble. It's not just a hairstyle; it’s a statement, daring the world to see the festive season through a new lens.

For adding texture and sculpting to your synthetic or human hair piece, we recommend Jon Renau Piece Out Fiber Contour Crème. It smells divine and sculpts hair without weighing it down.

Here’s some of our favorite edgy styles...
