French Twist: This hairstyle is good for all face shapes, since the hair volume and the bun can be adjusted. To achieve this holiday up-do one can gather hair into a ponytail between crown and nape and then twist the ponytail all around twice. Tuck ends into twist and secure with bobby pins after which smooth out the rest of the hair by brushing over the twist and securing strays.

Loose waves: This style works for just about any face shape. Adjust curls to flatter your own face shape. To achieve this hairstyle, separate hair into small sections, and curl hair with a one-inch curling iron. Take the random pieces and secure it on to the crown with bobby pins. Leave some soft loose pieces in the front to frame face. This hairstyle looks beautiful and very elegant.
