10 Thanksgiving Hairstyle Ideas 2022

Whether you’re celebrating with friends driving all the way to your place, or you’ll soon enough have your house crawling with people you didn’t even know you shared the family tree with, Thanksgiving is approaching - and lots of Tupperware are bracing themselves, getting ready to keep you full for the upcoming days with food leftovers you’re simply not allowed to say no to.

1. Embellished Fishtail Braid

This type of braid is nowadays considered a classic for fans of boho-chic and cottagecore fashion, but not many are aware of the fact that the fishtail braid is also one of the most versatile hairstyles when it comes to hair jewels and charms. There are many festive and/or seasonal hair charms that you can purchase and easily embody in your fishtail braid; if you’re lacking the necessary volume and length to get the big fluffy hairdo of your dreams, you can always add clip-in hair extensions to reach the right amount of thickness for that glamorous, effortlessly sophisticated finish.

2. Messy Bun

The messy bun is another hipster hairstyle that was initially frowned upon by traditional fashionistas, and later one embraced as a true symbol of the lifestyle of the rich and famous. If you’d like that trendy yet “I got ready in 5 minutes” look, a messy bun is the perfect hairstyle to channel that type of vibe. The messy bun can easily be recreated by adding a few top-up wefts to get all the bounce and fluff that makes it look so casual and artsy, yet flawlessly elegant. You can also “dress it up” with the right hair accessory, such as a nice hair clip.

3. Hollywood Waves

Do you have long hair and want to make everyone stare at you as if they’ve never seen a person with their hair done before? Then go for glossy Hollywood waves, the look of the stars from the silver screen. What’s so alluring about this hairstyle? Perhaps it’s the elegant asymmetry, or the way the curls are laying perfectly next to each other, in incredible harmony. Either way, Hollywood waves never fail to stun the audience, and celebrities such as Jessica Chastain and Blake Lively know this - as they sported this look on the red carpet more than once.

4. Low Ponytail

A low ponytail can go a long way, and Kim Kardashian knows this - this is why the low ponytail is one of her signature hairstyles, after all. You can wear it sleek and straight with a generous amount of silk shine spray (need to stock up? Get your shine hair extensions spray from Cliphair) or curled in tight ringlets. What about gently tousled, and embellished with baby braids and hair accessories? Really, the possibilities are too many to count on both of my hands. If you feel your hair isn't ready for a luscious, fluffy ponytail because you have fine hair or perhaps you recently committed to a chop, you can always use wrap-around ponytail hair extensions to get the ponytail of your dreams.

5. Retro Blowout

What if your vibe is more on the retro side? If you’d like to celebrate Thanksgiving in true 70s style, know that this type of blowout is all the rage. You’ll need lots of volume to get this done properly, therefore my advice is to stock up on Ultra Volume hair extensions to get the right amount of thickness in your mane before making it roar like a lion. If you’d like to know more about this hairstyle and how to recreate it with the aid of hair extensions, have a read at our dedicated blog: How To Do A Retro Blowout With Hair Extensions.

6. Heatless Curls

Did you know that there’s a revolutionary tool out there, able to give you that classic curly blowout without damaging your tresses? If you ever worked in the world of high fashion you may already know a raw version of this tool, later on developed in silk and/or sateen to better suit the needs of delicate hair cuticles. The curling ribbon is a new, comfortable way of curling your hair with no heat, no rollers and no flexirods. The curling ribbon is the easiest and healthiest way to achieve gorgeous salon-style curls overnight. A good curling ribbon is made of 100% silk, for a frizz-free, zero-damage finish. In other words: this is the protective hairstyle that leaves your hair shiny and healthy, and makes you look effortlessly expensive!

7. Classic Plaits

It’s not unusual to see someone wearing classic plaits with a nice beret as soon as the temperatures drop; after all, for many people this season is all about sheltering their own tresses after summer shenanigans. If you have long hair, you’re probably already familiar with wearing classic plaits quite often, especially at night, as a protective hairstyle for your mane. But what if I told you you could repurpose this look for a festive event? You can make your plaits fluffier or add a cute hair accessory to achieve the ultimate Thanksgiving hairstyle in a just a few minutes; if you want to add extra thickness and length to your hair, Seamless hair extensions are the perfect product to make your plaits go wow in the comfort of your own home.

8. The Chignon

Gorgeous and simple - if that’s how you like to keep things in your life, then the classic chignon is the perfect hairstyle for you to look elegant without having to add too many things to your hair. After all, like James Thurber once said, beautiful things don’t ask for attention. Sitting high on the top of your head, a tight chignon (as seen on Jennifer Lopez and many other celebrities) makes a beautiful, minimalistic statement without all the fuss of braids, bling-blings and hair clips hanging about.

9. Half-up, Half-Down

The half up half down hairstyle represents a youthful approach to elegant hairstyles. There are so many ways to achieve the half-up hairstyle of your dreams! Minimalistic a la Kendall Jenner, or twisted like those Instagram influencers; paired with a side-swept fringe to bring light and attention to prominent cheekbones; combined with a fishtail braid or beach waves to give you that perfect boho touch. What’s your style? Fill the gaps with Remy hair extensions and recreate the half-up, half-down hairstyle you’ve been longing for.

10. Crown Braid

Also known as the milkmaid braid, the crown braid is one of the most popular updos, with its origins dating back to the Dark Ages - when having your hair falling on your face could’ve been misinterpreted as - yep, you know it already - allegiance to witchcraft.

Perhaps due to its effortless elegance (and saving many womens from an unfortunate destiny), this hairdo has remained a constant throughout the centuries; nowadays, it’s the favourite hairdo for those who’d like to channel an artsy vibe.
