Winter is a great time to refresh your look. You’re stuck indoors, you need a lift, so…Kendra’s Boutique has everything you need, from Brazilian human hair extensions to luxe 3D lashes in mink.
There are plenty of winter hair styles you can rock in cold weather, from waves to braids to a messy bun. Have some fun, playing with what’s possible!
With our Brazilian hair 3 bundles, you can increase the options for a totally fresh style. Here are some suggestions for winter hair trends that will liven up your look this cozy time of year.
1. Loose Waves With A Beanie
Keeping warm in chilly weather is essential. But hey, you still want to look cute! Among the perfect hairstyles to wear with a beanie is one with loose waves or soft curls flowing beneath it.
Any celebrity hairstylist knows that vertical hair lengths slim the face. Textured waves add shape and interest. Add some styling product to damp or dry hair. Gently blow-dry or use a curling wand to shape a loose, unstructured look.
Or bring out the natural texture or natural curls of wavy hair by letting damp hair air dry for a lived-in look.
Just pop a beanie atop it, and you make a statement in a fun, casual way. Other hats can work, too.
2. Sleek Bob With Straight Bangs
The sleek “bob” hairstyle is a classic short hair style for a reason: it’s clean, structured – but with a hint of polished “edginess.” It became huge in the 1920s, letting women show off their individuality and independence. For those reasons alone, it’s never gone out of style!
Wearing a bob with straight, blunt bangs offers a fresh, timeless look. It really stands out in the winter months when set against a bulky sweater or turtleneck.
3. Low Ponytail With Scarf Wrap
This is convenient on a day you want to rock a casual vibe (or don’t have a lot of time).
Elevate this simple look with a scarf wrap atop the head. It offers a colorful shot of “boho” chic and balances the profile, creating a polished look. Try it with a low bun or a twisted ponytail, too.
4. Curly Messy Updo With Chunky Knit Headband
A stylist offers the classic “updo” for a sophisticated look. By making it a bit looser and a little “messy,” you create a whole different vibe, one that’s edgier, but can still work at the office or in the club. A loose bun can also work in creating this chic style for cold months.
Add a chunky headband for another layer of “texture” that balances beautifully with the look.
5. Side Braid
The side braid is set against one side of the head and cascades down one shoulder. You can make it low-key with the traditional braiding method. Or elevate it as a French braid or a “Dutch braid” where a few strands cross under the middle strand, creating a different effect.
The side braid is great for everyday, but can be made more sophisticated for a night out. It gives straight hair a bit of hair inspiration!
6. Half-Up Twisted Crown
Sections of the hair are pulled up and twisted (versus braided) to form a soft rope-like look across the back of the head, secured by bobby pins.
The rest of the hair, including bangs, hangs down loosely. It adds subtle interest to a very basic style.
7. Lob With Loose Waves
“Lob” is short for “long bob,” and it offers additional styling options over a traditional bob cut. By working in some mousse or a texturizing spray to the longer strands, you create loose waves for a “beachy” effect -- a little like vintage Pamela Anderson!
Simply apply the styling solution, and then blow dry on low or use a curling iron to create rough curls.
8. Half-Up Space Buns
This is a modern look, kind of like pigtails, but with buns on top of your head, instead! It’s a fresh twist on the “Princess Leia” look from Star Wars, and is among the most unique hair trends.
On the top half, two buns sit slightly atop the sides of your head. The rest of the hair hangs down, giving a looser, more relaxed look. The buns themselves can be worn tight, braided, or messy. The loose ends and soft layers beneath add drama.
9. Bubble Braid Ponytail
This is a fun twist on your basic ponytail. Pull the hair into a high ponytail and secure it with an elastic.
Move down the “tail,” forming a little “bubble” of hair, fluffing it out, and securing it with an elastic band. The goal is to get a few “bubbles” working along the length until you reach the end. Secure the end with a cute hair tie for a polished finish. It looks even cuter with bangs!
10. Braided Pigtails With Beanie
We’re not talking about the same braided pig tails you wore in elementary school. Nope, this is an edgier version, where the braids start higher up on the head.
The two sections can be woven into sophisticated Dutch or French braids or a pull-through style. Pop a beanie on top for a touch of fresh street style.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best hairstyles to rock during winter?
InStyle notes that the high necklines and layers worn in winter really set off bob haircuts, and long bobs (“lobs”). For mid-length or long hair, loose, messy waves, braids, or up-dos make for an effortless vibe.
Which haircut can make you look a decade younger?
Any hairstylist will tell you that shorter haircuts with layers or curtain bangs that frame the face soften the features, taking years off your face. Something like a long bob (“lob”) lifts the face and adds volume to thinning hair for a younger look.
Is it better to go lighter or darker with your hair color in winter?
A stylist will note that it's largely a matter of preference (and what best suits skin tone), but warmer, darker shades go best with the cozy vibe of winter. Think espresso, cola, deep chocolate, or even bright copper.
Going with a lighter shade is more modern, can lift the mood, and brighten the face. But again, factor in your skin tone.
How can you style your hair to protect it and look great in winter?
The harsh elements of winter require extra protection for healthy hair. Styles like braids and buns are a low-maintenance, protective style that will hold in moisture and protect hair from the elements during cold weather. These are perfect opportunities for applying a leave-in conditioner, especially to damaged hair.
Gentle waves or hair contained in simple braids or ponytails work beautifully with winter hats, headbands, and beanies.
Another easy winter option is wearing an HD lace frontal wig from Kendra’s Boutique or a 5x5 closure wig to add extra volume. We also carry high-quality 13 x 4 frontals and 13x6 lace frontal wigs.
