8 Hairstyle Ideas for Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving, it’s all about making a statement. And one of the best ways to do so is with a bomb hairstyle. Which will you choose?

Whether you want something understated or full-on festive, we’ve got some great style options for you. Read on for our top 8 hairstyle ideas for Thanksgiving.

1.   Space Buns with Middle Part Bangs

Is “extra” your middle name? Then try space buns with middle-part bangs this Thanksgiving. This out-there hairstyle will have all eyes on you during your Turkey Day feast. Just section out your bangs, part your hair down the middle, pull each side into a tight bun, release your bangs, and you’re good to go.

2.   Vintage Roll and Tuck

For those who want something a little more demure but still classically gorgeous, few styles work better than the vintage roll and tuck. It’s reminiscent of the 40s and works with virtually any hair texture. Part your hair wherever you’d like, then smooth or twist it towards the nape of your neck. Then, roll and use pins to hold it all in place.

3.   Not-So-Messy Bun

Messy buns are super common and perfect for running errands or going out with the girls. But if your Thanksgiving dinner or outing is slated to be formal, you need a do’ that fits the occasion - the not-so-messy bun. It’s equal parts stylish, practical, and put-together. Smooth all of your hair into a ponytail (high, mid, or low), and then wrap the base of the ponytail around itself and pin any loose hairs in place.

4.   Single Side Braid

Can you ever really go wrong with braids? We think not! A single side braid is relaxed enough not to cause too much of a fuss but also interesting enough to evoke stares. And if you know how to braid, you’re in for just a few minutes of styling. Part your hair how you’d like, and then do a single braid - over-direct to the side you want your braid to hang.

5.   Sleek Low Pony

You’re busy being the glue that holds the Thanksgiving festivities together for your family. You’re cooking, cleaning, calling folks up - it’s a lot. So, when you need a super cute style that gets the job done without the fuss, go with the sleek low pony. It’s striking, puts your facial structure on blast, and only takes a few minutes to create. 

6.   Flirty Half-Up Half Down

The half-up, half-down style is another super easy option for Thanksgiving. It’s a no-brainer for those who want to add a little extra romantic flair to their look. Pull half of your hair up and into a ponytail and leave the rest to flow in the fall wind.

7.   Big and Curly

Grab your styling creme, define your natural curls, and fluff those roots til’ you can’t anymore.

This bold look-at-me style isn’t just for the curly girls among us. If your hair is naturally wavy or straight, pull out the curling iron and go to town. Just don’t forget the heat protectant.

8.   All Do’s in a Pumpkin Spice Hue

When it comes to hairstyles, color holds a lot of weight. Regardless of how you style your hair, consider giving it a color revamp in a pumpkin spice hue - think vibrant coppers, browns, and reds.
