The temperature is dropping, the nights are getting longer and the decorations are coming out of their boxes. It’s officially holiday season, those extra-special winter weeks filled with treats, family and friends. It’s the perfect time to give yourself the gift of a new look. Here are a few festive reasons to put a little holiday spice in your style:

FAMILY PICTURES

For so many families, the winter holidays mean taking The Photo: a sweet pic of the gang all together, all dressed up. Whether you want this keepsake for your holiday cards or just for your own mantelpiece, photos are a beautiful way to preserve the magic of the holidays and the beauty of your family. Make this year’s even more special (and less stressful!) by picking out headband braids for you and your girls. They’re gorgeous, pre-braided and ready in just seconds.

HOLIDAY PARTIES

What’s a holiday without the people you love? Family gatherings, neighborhood get-togethers and even office parties are part and parcel of the holiday season—and a great excuse to flaunt a showstopping new hairstyle. If your holiday celebrations are taking place via video chat this year, that’s all the more reason to focus your fashion energy on what shows in your on-screen headshot: hair and makeup.

SEASONAL SELFIES

There are so many fun, festive activities that are special to this season: decorating the house, baking seasonal treats... Why not snap a few pics for the gram while you’re enjoying yourself? A personal photoshoot is a cute way to share your holiday cheer with friends and family, especially if you can’t gather in person. Throw on a headband braid before you hit that camera button—you’ll love the look and your friends will ‘like’ the photos.

Family Traditions

Does your family always kick off the holidays by kicking back in matching pajamas? Little things like matching jammies or a homemade holiday breakfast become the memories you’ll look back on with a smile. Here’s an idea for a mom-and-me tradition your girls will love: take a few minutes to fix everyone’s hair in comfy, cute braids they can wear all day.
