I always get lots of requests for hairstyles that you can do on your hair. I love this request because it is important to find holiday hairstyles for yourself, not just for the little ones. This easy Candy Cane Twist Hairstyle is a favorite of mine that I love to do each holiday season.

If you’re on the hunt for an easy one, you’re going to fall in love with this one. I’m going to go out on a limb and even say that it doesn’t get much easier than this. It’s super simple and really cute for the holidays ahead.

For this particular hairstyle, all you need to do is twist your hair. That’s it! Just take 2 sections of hair and twist them together. That’s the basis of this hairstyle.

You also need a ribbon. I chose a red one since it’s a festive holiday color, but you can choose any color that you want! I will add below a great deal that I found on the satin ribbon that I love to use.

Step-by-Step

1. Part the hair on the side and grab a section on top.

2. Hair tie this section off to the side.

3. Take your ribbon and loop it through the hair elastic.

4. Allow it to dangle on both sides.

5. Twist the 2 sections of hair together and hair tie on the bottom.

6. *You can leave as is, but I like to bobby pin it behind my ear.
