As the romance of the holiday season approaches, beauty gurus will quickly be swapping their flowing, effortless waves for ethereal, textured updos. Whether you’re heading out to a holiday dinner or attending your company Christmas party, there’s nothing quite like loose tendrils and haphazardly pulled away locks to complete your look.

This season, try drawing your inspiration from the Fall/Winter 2016 runways and pinning up loosely curled or wavy locks for an instantly chic updo. Take your cues from the Giorgio Armani catwalk, where models strut the runway with frizzy curls swept away from the visage. With their natural-looking texture and bouncy body, these pulled-back coils truly caused a sensation.

Meanwhile, Instagram has also been ablaze with numerous variations on the rising trend. Whether for bridal looks or sultry evening updos, the romantic updo is truly leaving its mark. At times accented with floral hair accessories, there’s nothing quite like a pile of curls to capture the spirit of the season.

If you normally wear your locks in a sleek braid or flowing free, the romantic curly updo just may encourage you to take your look to new heights. Add a hint of volume and embellished hair jewellery for a sweet finishing touch, and prepare to dance the night away.
