Hairstyles for Skiing Season: How to Slay on The Slopes

Your hair deserves a moment, even when you're surrounded by mountains and shredding through the snow. Whether you're a snowboarding babe or a ski bunny, keeping your hair looking cute and practical in sub-zero temperatures can feel like a real challenge. We’ve rounded up the hottest ski hairstyles that'll have you serving serious looks while keeping you warm and cozy. From double braids that mean business to luscious winter waves, this guide will have you ready to slay the slopes!

Double Braids

This hairstyle is a smart and stylish way to keep your locks in place while tackling the slopes. The double braids look is all about clean, structured plaits that frame the face while still feeling free and feminine. Start by parting your hair evenly down the middle, weaving each section into a classic three-strand braid. For added length and volume, incorporate our seamless clip-in extensions. Leave out some loose pieces to soften the look and throw on a knitted hat or some sleek ski goggles for a streamlined, snow-ready aesthetic. Millie wears our 18” seamless clip in hair extensions in the shade Barbie Blonde.

Baby Braids

Baby braids are making their comeback once again – and if you’re in need of ski hairstyles for long hair, then you’re in the right place! Before styling, remember to apply a few spritzes of our Heat Protection Spray to guard your clip-in hair extensions or permanent hair extensions from both your curling iron and the harsh, cold air. Add natural-looking, luscious curls to your hair, focusing on creating movement rather than tight spirals, or keep it sleek and straight depending on your style. Then, take a small section of hair from either side, just behind the ears, and weave each section into a delicate braid. To give them a touch of volume, gently pull at the braids so they don’t look too perfect or polished. This style looks luxe when paired with a chic headband or furry earmuffs, making it perfect for an après-ski moment.

Elsa-Inspired Side Braid

For all of you ski lovers out there, the side braid just got a glow-up – Elsa style. And no, you don’t have to be a Disney princess to make it work. Start off by sweeping your hair to one side and begin braiding. Keep things a bit loose and undone for that lived-in look. If you want the braid to look extra thick and full, add some of some of our clip in extensions, or use our Wrap Around Ponytail as a base – trust us, it’ll make all the difference. Gently pull at the braid for a fuller, voluminous finish, and curl any face-framing pieces to add dimension. Lock in the whole look with our Moisturising Silky Spray to keep fly-aways from photobombing. Add a chunky beanie, fluffy hat or even our clip in fringe for some extra flair!

Messy Double Buns

Picture this: you’re carving down the slopes, hair whipping in the wind, but your hair becomes tangled and matted. Our solution? Messy double buns! This hairstyle is your ultimate snow day power move. Start by parting your hair down the middle and pulling each section into low ponytails. Twist them up into buns that are perfectly imperfect. If you’re craving volume, our clip ins will give them that extra ‘oomph’. Let a few face-framing pieces escape for that effortless, windswept vibe. Top it all off with a furry hat or let your goggles double as a headband! If you’re worried about hat hair, there’s no need to be.

Sleek Low Pony

If you’re more of a fan of the slicked back look, you’ll be pleased to know it’s perfect for being on the slopes. Whether you’re skiing full pelt down a hill or chilling in your chalet with a hot chocolate, the low sleek ponytail will have you serving major quiet luxury. It’s the ski day version of your favourite designer bag! Start by brushing your hair into a ponytail that sits low and smooth at the nape of your neck, before clipping in our Wrap Around Ponytail for extra volume. To keep your locks in place, remember to apply our Moisturising Silky Spray – we’re talking glassy, polished perfection. Helmet on? You’re ready to shred. Helmet off? You’re turning heads. Finish it off with a white cashmere headband. Simple, sleek, and so on point – this ponytail is proof that sometimes less really is more.
