“And here we are like every year at the Festivities, where in a few days we will see ourselves engaged in a whirlwind of parties, evenings, lunches and dinners like in no other period. And here we are again thinking about how we can easily transform our everyday hair, to be trendy and cool,” she says Alex Cappelletti, Salon Director of TONI&GUY Bologna. We asked him what’s new in terms of hairstyles and how to adopt them. “The trends of the moment want much more elaborate hairstyles than in previous years, when the DIY, the wet look and the grungy style were all the rage. The common denominator – as we have already seen last spring-summer – is having healthy, shiny hair and combed; starting from here, the idea of ’fold’ returns in a more classic sense, with attention to volume and shine in the hair. To complete the look, get yourself ribbons, headbands, pins and jewels, because this year the accessories will make the difference”, concludes the expert.
Proposals to recreate at home
Street
ponytails
Wickstead
Ulla Johnson
Street
The ponytails holidays (as always a must) this year will be mainly inspired by the 60s, a period that will strongly influence haircut and hairstyle styles throughout 2023. So, green light for high and very high ponytails to raise your head and create effects from teasing and XXL volume, all embellished with bands, headbands and ribbons that give a special aura, perfect for the Holidays. The bands then, if positioned in the right place, complete the retro-chic look.
Soft braid and bubble braids

They never go out of style, especially for the Holidays. We will see two types: the classic braids attached to the head, which for important occasions will be made softer and more voluminous by rubbing and loosening them as we create them, to give a more festive look, and above all to facilitate use of various accessories. We will be able to range by choosing them with glitter, or ribbons of various types that can be woven together with the hair. Finally, the effect is fantastic, which sees the insertion of various accessories such as jewels and eye-catching brooches inside the hairstyle. Another type of braids very different from the previous one and with a slightly more futuristic flavor are the bubble braids, or bubble braids, obtained by dividing the braids (or tails) into various segments of equal length with mini rubber bands, which are then worked with the hands and a comb to create balls. Everything is then fixed with lacquer, to give hold.
Chignon

The chignon finally they move: from the nape, where they have been positioned for a few seasons, higher up, on the top of the head, so as to create an almost backcombed effect, with an immediate 60s feeling. Even the clean and shiny volume effect is a must, even better if decorated with some special hair jewels; perhaps our favorite jewelery accessory, which will live a bright second life in Christmas hairstyles.
Seeds harvested

For those who want to experiment with a change in look, without giving up those locks on the neck, forehead and ears that make you feel protected and safe, here is the harvested seeds: the raw material, in this case, will be the hair, which will have to convey luxury , volume and shine. If well cared for, just collect a few strands in the right places and you’re done. The advice of the hair stylist is: “I would concentrate the volumes and tails on the top of the head and then secure them with your favorite brooch”.
