I love the holidays: The food, time with family, white elephant parties…
@lacyredway
But, most of all, I love getting to wear sequin everything.
Oh, and how could I forget bold makeup and an updo?
If you don’t want to go full-on glam, try adding a pearl-encrusted headband.

Chloe and Halle Bailey know how to serve us some serious looks.
Tika Sumpter’s ’90s pony is worth switching it up.
Adding clips and colorful bobby pins is a way to change your hair in seconds.

Bantu Knots
Bantu knots, like these on Rihanna, will make for a stunningholiday ‘do.
With a pack of one-dollar braiding hair and a few extra minutes, you’ll have the perfect ponytail.
Play With Your Hair Texture
Are you someone who can braid your own hair?

Kelly Rowland’s headwrap screams holiday glam.
Not to mention, it seems pretty low-maintenance.

Cropped Cornrows
These cropped cornrows on Dewanda Wise are everything.
A Bobby Pinned Ponytail
Pins, pins, and more pins!
Amandla Stenberg’s crowned pins would be a great match with Layne’s ponytail (see number 12).

Box braids are one of the most versatile protective styles around.

The Side Braid
Here, Janelle Monae shows us again how to play with accessories.
@trueandpuretexture
Her pearl-detailed golden bobby pins and oversized barrettes make for a perfect moment of decadence.
Just be sure not to make your knot too tight in the name of beauty.
I’ve done that, and my hair was so snatched I couldn’t think.
