Pikkujoulut Party Hairstyles with Extensions 2026

Pikkujoulut – the party season for hair extensions

Pikkujoulut, the Finnish pre-Christmas parties, are the most glamorous celebration of early winter – and the perfect occasion to wear hair extensions. Extensions add length, volume and hold to a hairstyle that lasts from the first toast to the last dance. This guide covers the season’s most striking looks, the right timing and the care that keeps your hair flawless at every pikkujoulut.

Extensions are not just length – they give a hairstyle the structure and volume that lasts all evening without constant touch-ups.

When to book and prepare

Pikkujoulut take place in November and December, and the most popular weekends fill up quickly at salons. Plan ahead:

  • Permanent extensions (tape or micro-bond): book the installation 1–2 weeks before the party so the hair can settle.
  • Clip-in extensions: ready to wear instantly – the perfect choice if you only want extensions for the party.
  • Order materials in advance: order your extensions and accessories from ConnectHair in good time – delivery throughout Finland in 1–4 business days.

How your hairstyle lasts all evening

  • Use heat protection before curling or straightening – party-season heat styling is hard on extensions.
  • Attach clip-in extensions securely and hide the clips with your own hair.
  • Finish with a light hairspray – avoid heavy product that tangles the extensions.
  • After the evening, brush the extensions gently from the ends upward and store them straight.

Extensions as a Christmas gift
