Southern beauty routines change (slowly) with the times, just as old recipes are tweaked and dated fashions go out of style, but a few Southern beauty rules are written in stone somewhere in Dollywood (we assume, at least). One beauty preference that Southern women will never tire of is big hair. We can’t help it—our Mamas couldn’t live without hairspray. But like those vintage recipes in which we switched out margarine for butter or collards for kale, even big hair has gotten a 21st-century makeover. We might not be styling our hair to Dolly height every day, but special occasions are always an acceptable time to get out the teasing comb. This holiday season, amp up your hairstyles with some subtle volume. Retro hairstyles like the bouffant have inspired these modern hairstyles that don’t shy away from volume and height. These looks are dressy and festive, so they’re ideal Christmas party hairstyles. The holiday party invitations are bound to come pouring in, so be ready with these cute Christmas hairstyles that are surprisingly easy to do. All of these holiday hairstyles have quick tutorials to help you achieve a look that will appear straight from the salon. This Christmas season, don’t let your hair fall flat at holiday parties. These voluminous hairstyles will rise to any and every holiday occasion, literally.
Crisscross Ponytail
Even a low ponytail is holiday-ready with a little volume. Get the tutorial here from A Beautiful Mess.
The Half-Up Pompadour
This half-up style is just as dressy as an updo for a holiday party. Get the tutorial here from Camille Styles.
Party-Perfect Ponytail
They wouldn’t call it party-perfect if it didn’t have a little boost and volume. Get the tutorial here from LuLus.com Fashion Blog.
Double French Twists
Adding a flower or sparkly accessory to a volumized updo will make it festive and dressy. Get the tutorial here from The Everygirl.

Half-Up Party Lob
The long bob, or lob, is the most popular haircut right now, and this half-up look is a fun and easy way to style it. Get the tutorial here from LuLus.com Fashion Blog.
Bouffant Bun
When we think about volume, it’s hard not to picture the retro bouffant look. This bun-version is ideal for holiday parties. Get the tutorial here from Hair and Makeup by Steph.
Half-Up, Half-Down
Another bouffant-and Bardot-inspired look, this ’do would be holiday ready with some sparkly pins or an antique comb. Get the tutorial here from Martha Stewart Weddings.
