Waves are a festive holiday hairstyle that you can create in 10 minutes flat. Taking notes from Emma Stone's stylist, Jen Atkin, we set out to achieve the actress's pretty, subtle curls.

Hear those sleigh bells ringing? The holidays are all about amped-up hair accessories, and celebrities showed us their finest ways to get all decked out. Kelly Osbourne paired her vintage bouffant with a slick black bow, while mom-to-be Jenna Dewan-Tatum sported a delicate crystal headband. And Cirque de Soleil performer Erica Linz accented her pompadour updo with a sparkly barrette. With so many ways to dress up your hair, it seems ribbons and sparkles make the best accessories. But who wore it best?
Stockings get a bad rap. Coal, anyone? But on the bright side, stockings allow you to decide how big (or small) of a gift you want to give. Big things come in small packages, right? Watch and see the best beauty stocking stuffers of 2012. On Kirbie: H&M.
