- Y'all know I was gonna do the intro in the holo dress.
Hey guys, Kayley here, today we're doing some short hair
holiday hairstyles because it has been very requested.
I decided to include some very, very easy hairstyles
and then some more intricate ones,
so we've got the full spectrum going today.
I think, no matter what it is,
no matter whether you celebrate holidays or not,
you should find a new hairstyle to work into your routine.

That being said, let's get into it.
Okay, let's start off with something very easy.
The curls that I have in here are from
my Three Ways to Curl Short Hair video,
these are the Barely There Bend.
And then I'm grabbing this headband,
which I got at Ulta, and I'm going to put it on
as you normally would and then pull forward some hair
from just on top and in front of my ears
so I can have a little hair around my face.
And that is it, it is, like I said, ridiculously simple.
Sometimes, the best way to be holiday glam
is just to pick a really great hair accessory.
Moving on to this half up do, I started by curling my hair
away from my face with a one inch curling iron
to get some really defined waves.
Then I'm taking a large piece of hair
on each side of my face and pulling it back
and securing it with the clear elastic.
Then, flip that elastic 'round a couple times
to create a twist and loosen it up
so that you can really see that twist popping on your hair.
Now, grab the ends and a little bit more hair
and wrap it up and around the elastic, just doing one loop
so that it looks like that twist is fully formed
all the way around and bobby pin that in place.

And finally, if you want some glam,
you can add in some sparkly hair accessories of your choice
and once you've done that, this hairstyle's complete.
This is a very good one for all year round,
but adding that extra little bit of bling or extra glam
makeup would make this perfect for a holiday party.
Super easy option number two, I'm starting with
that Barely There Bend and sweeping back the hair
at the crown of my head, and then I'm securing it in place
with this really pretty barrette,
or you could pin with bobby pins and then add
whatever accessory you want over that.
And that is it for this hairstyle, again, very easy,
very quick, but also very chic at the same time.
(gentle music)
And now, it's time to braid, start by grabbing a section
of hair just above and behind your ear,
and then braid that section all the way down.
At the end, you can hold your place with a bobby pin
and then pull the braid apart for extra volume.
Once you've done that, go ahead and wrap it across
the top of your head and pin it in place.
Now grab all the hair around where
you just pinned that braid to create a new section
of hair to braid all the way down,
secure with the bobby pin and then pull apart.
Once you've done that, you can sweep it
to the back of your head and pin it in place,
pinning up and into the braid.
Finish it off by doing the same thing on the other side.
You grab a section of hair right around the base
of your braid, braid all the way down, fluff it apart
and then pin it just over our previous braid.
And that is it, this way you can have a more braided,
bohemian style, even on shorter hair.
And we're gonna finish with an updo.
We actually start with the steps from the twisted half updo
that we did earlier in this video.
Then you're gonna grab the hair from the front
and a little bit right behind your ear,
and braid it all the way down, hold your place
with a bobby pin and pull it apart.
(gentle music)
And repeat the same thing on the other side.
Now bring the two braids together, just underneath that
previous half up do, and pin them in place.
(gentle music)
And now for the remaining ends,
I'm just gonna take half of what I have left
and twist it up towards the twist that we made previously,
covering the braids, and pinning that in place.
Then I'm gonna repeat the same thing
with the other half of the hair that's left down.
And there you go, a short hair updo that is sure to wow!
It's not difficult to do and it will definitely
give you a whole new silhouette
to what you can normally do with short hair.
And there you go, short hair holiday hairstyles.
