The Holiday Party Hair Edit

Usher in your hair's glossiest, softest era yet just in time for the holidays with this nourishing conditioner. Ingredients like citric acid and glycine hydrate add shine and strengthen from the inside out.

Blow-drying, curling, and even just styling with lots of elastics, pins, and clips can all cause dullness, dry ends, and breakage. Prevent all that by prepping with this serum, which protects fine-to-medium hair types against heat up to 450° F, defends against humidity, softens, and manages flyaways—all without weighing hair down.

Stash this hair oil in your bag to keep your slickbacks and blowouts as smooth as they were when the night began. On top of adding sleekness and shine, it protects against heat up to 450° F for pin-straight, flat-ironed styles.

If your hair is medium-to-thick, you may in turn want to opt for a thicker heat-protecting product. This leave-in cream also nourishes, locks in moisture, detangles, and enhances shine.

After back-to-back styling sessions for family dinners and gift exchanges with friends, this overnight serum will restore some much-needed moisture to damaged hair. A combo of plant-based proteins and niacinamide locks in moisture, detangles, and smooths flyaways. Apply one to two pumps all over damp or dry hair, hit the sheets, then wake up to revived strands—no need to rinse it out.

This neroli-scented dry shampoo is your not-so-dirty little secret when it comes to freshening up blowouts and extending your style for a weekend's worth of holiday plans. Rice starch sops up excess oil, while the soft floral fragrance helps you fake a fresh wash.

This high-tech dryer pairs infrared-light technology with a silent but speedy (130 mph!) wind motor to replicate the way water evaporates naturally. TLDR: It dries your hair quickly while helping to minimize damage. Plus, it weighs less than two pounds and offers three settings for sleek, curly, and coily hair types.

If your holiday style leans more minimalist-chic than merry and extra, this chic bow accessory is for you. Use it to jazz up half-up, half-down styles or a low ponytail.

The best part about a decorative scrunchie like this one is that you don't need to be a hair pro to use it—just slide it onto a simple bun or pony. It's made from organza, which adds an airy contrast to holiday party 'fits decked with heavy winter fabrics like velvet, leather, and furs.

Have a black-tie event on the books and don't feel like crafting an updo? Pull one side of hair behind your ear and snap on these rhinestone-adorned velvet barrettes—boom, fancy!

You don't have to be a Sag to appreciate this clip's glitzy gold hue and its ability to sweep all your hair up without causing any strain. (OTOH, we're sure the Sags in your life would love this as a gift…)

If you're dashing to a holiday party from work or class, you might not have the time to style your hair OTW. That's where these overnight curlers come in handy. Just pop them in the night before a big event, then set your curls with hairspray in the morning to keep them bouncy and full all day.

A headband with gilded pearls transforms bombshell waves or a high ponytail from a typical going-out look to a style that sparkles for the holidays. Hint: To keep the headband in place through all of the merry festivities you have planned, blast your roots with a little dry shampoo before you slide it on. The product will give your strands some added grip and texture.
