An elegant updo! 
Pretty Christmas hairstyle, New Years Eve hairstyle (or any other special occasion up-style.)

With the holiday season in full swing, we wanted to share a fancy updo that may work for all of the fun holiday parties and events you might be attending this year!  We are both very happy with how this "swirling braids updo" turned out, as it looks quite intricate but is actually pretty easy to do!

Of course, this hairstyle doesn't have to be just for the holidays.  This braided updo would be lovely for many events such as:  The Prom, Homecoming, Recitals, Communions, Weddings, Brides, Flower Girls... any special occasion really.

We choose to go with a tidy and sleek look this time.  You could definitely make this style more soft and messy looking if you prefer.  Curling her hair before you start (or if you have naturally curly hair) would add some cute texture for more of a bohemian look.  Also, you could always leave some hair out around her face to soften things up a bit.
