Introduction
The holidays are here — which means it’s time for cozy sweaters, comfort food, and family gatherings! And while we all love a good Thanksgiving outfit moment, no look is complete without the perfect hairstyle to match. Whether you’re heading to a family dinner, hosting Friendsgiving, or spending the day relaxing with loved ones, your hair deserves to shine just as much as your smile. If you’re looking for an easy yet stunning natural hair style that keeps your strands healthy, defined, and hydrated, you’re in the right place. Below, we’re breaking down three simple but beautiful Thanksgiving hair style ideas — a braid/twist out, a creative holiday look, and a wash & go — to help your natural hair look its best this season.
(Bonus: We’ve included product tips and suggestions from our collection to help you achieve flawless, effortless results!)
1. Braid Out or Twist Out — Classic and Timeless
When in doubt, go with a classic! A braid out or twist out is one of the most-loved natural hair styles for a reason — it’s simple, defined, and full of volume. Perfect for Thanksgiving, this style looks beautiful on all textures and can easily transition from day to night.
How to achieve it:
Start on freshly washed, detangled hair. Use our Restoring Refresh Shampoo and our Replenishing Deep Hydration Mask to infuse moisture and create a soft base.
Apply a hydrating leave-in conditioner (our incredible Hydrating Leave-In Butter is great for this) to define your strands and lock in hydration.
Twist or braid your hair in medium sections, then allow it to fully dry (air dry or under a hooded dryer).
Once dry, use our Nourishing Essential Hair Oil to gently separate the twists or braids and fluff for volume.
Pro tip: To maintain the style overnight, re-twist a few sections and cover your hair with a satin bonnet or scarf.
2. A Creative Holiday Hairstyle — Playful, Elegant, and Festive
If you want to try something new this season, go for a creative style that blends fun and sophistication. Think a half-up bun with curls, a sleek low puff with festive accessories, Bantu knots, or a halo braid with face-framing tendrils. The goal is to express your personality while celebrating the beauty of your natural hair.
How to achieve it:
Start with moisturized hair — apply our Hydrating Leave-In Butter or a styling gel to smooth edges and enhance shine.
Style your hair into your desired shape (puff, bun, braid, etc.), then accessorize with gold cuffs, ribbon, or clips for a festive touch.
Finish with our Nourishing Essential Hair Oil to add a healthy glow and sleek look.
This look is ideal for anyone who wants to make a statement while keeping styling time minimal. It’s versatile, protective, and perfect for every Thanksgiving gathering — from casual dinners to church events.
3. Wash & Go — Effortless, Defined, and Bold
There’s nothing quite like a defined, bouncy wash & go to showcase your curls in all their glory. This natural hair style is low-maintenance yet eye-catching, making it a perfect Thanksgiving hair style for those who love simplicity with impact.
How to achieve it:
Begin with freshly cleansed hair using our Restoring Refresh Shampoo and our Replenishing Deep Hydration Mask to enhance softness and manageability.
While your hair is damp, apply our Hydrating Leave-In Butter or a gel section by section, raking it through to evenly coat your strands.
Diffuse or air-dry your curls, then gently fluff for volume.
Finish with our Nourishing Essential Hair Oil to seal in moisture and boost shine.
The wash & go is ideal for highlighting your hair’s natural curl pattern while keeping things easy and carefree. Pair it with statement earrings or a cozy fall outfit, and you’ll be ready to take on Thanksgiving in style!
