5 Festive Hair Accessories to Wear This Holiday Season

During the awkward stretch of time in between Thanksgiving and winter break, it can be hard to focus on everything you need to get done before the semester ends. The time seems to drag along as you’re patiently awaiting quality time with your hometown friends and of course, holiday parties. 

Her Campus is here to give you some motivation to prepare for all of the holiday gatherings and activities you’ll be enjoying this month by giving you some ideas to make sure your hair game is on point. Rock one of these cute and easy hair accessories and you’ll be turning heads and receiving compliments all night long!

Glitter headband

Glam and festive, a gold or silver glitter headband is a perfect way to ring in the holiday season. Your locks will sparkle as bright as lit-up Christmas lights! Pair the headband with a neutral sweater or your favorite red and green ensemble. Check out the Big Shot Sparkle Headband ($20) from Ban.do to score this headband for your own collection.

Knitted headband

Cozy and cute, these knitted headbands are still super trendy and an adorable way to stay warm in the winter. Wear this one with any outfit for a stylish alternative to earmuffs. Target has a wide variety of these knitted headbands ($12.99) in an assortment of colors. 

Golden ribbon hair scarf 

Similar to the glitter headband, this golden ribbon hair scarf makes a strong statement, yet is a bit more reserved without all the sparkles. Just like gold ribbon wrapped around all your holiday gifts, this makes the perfect final touch to your outfit. Get your own gold twisted scarf from Ban.do ($20) from The Organizing Store!

Snowflake hair pin

Channel your inner Elsa this year with a cute and sparkly snowflake hair clip ($16.95 for a set of 4). Delicate and pretty, these pair well with almost any holiday outfit, both casual and dressy. 

Silky red hair bow 

A feminine bow looks classy and chic without much effort. Pair a silk or velvet bow in this bold Christmas color with your favorite tacky sweater when you head to an ugly sweater party, or place it underneath your top knot at an office holiday party. Claire’s has so many hair bows in store and online, just like this red velvet bow hair clip ($4.50) to bring a festive touch to your outfit.

These cute hair accessories will bring the perfect amount of holiday cheer to all your parties, dinners and get-togethers this season!
