Before winter comes screeching to a halt and we start envisioning our shimmering summer hair filled with highlights and those coveted beachy waves, let’s back up for a second and remind ourselves that snow season is still here and we should seriously seize the day (or at least the opportunity to rock some divine winter hair). Find your inner snow bunny with these nine (helmet ready!) hairstyles that’ll have you looking fierce from the slopes to the lodge. Pack your parka and skis and hit the mountains ASAP!
Braided Half Knot
