Hello everyone!!!
As it gets closer to the holidays I hear and over hear lots of talk about holiday hair. This is hair that is a bit different than your normal everyday hair, maybe a bit of a curl or wave, or extra straight and shiny. Whatever your holiday hair desire there are just a couple of things I suggest you have.
1. Great style and hold products: Really, no matter the day or time of year, if you want your hair to do much of anything you need a styling and hold product. My favorites are Bumble styling lotion, thickening hairspray, and styling creme. This ensures that your style will hold and keep through the day, pictures, through dancing and what not. These products are also great for heat protection and shine.
2. The right tools:
a.Using a 1" curling iron for a wavy look is essential. take a half inch section of hair and actually manually wrap the hair around the iron. This gives you a very pretty, soft wave instead of a prom curl.
b. flat irons are great for both, depending how hot tool savvy you are. But for a smooth look it's all about taking your time! Please, I do not mean minutes per section, I mean sectioning out your hair, combing the section, and going through each section with care.
c. My personal fav!! hot rollers! Now that they come larger you can't beat the soft body and volume these babys give ya! And they are very inexpensive and quick for you time conscious!
3. Lets talk hairspray!! Ladies and Gentlemen please put your cans of aqua net, final net, and whatever other spray that gives your hair that hard flaky finish down!!! Hair sprays like Bumbles Spray de mode and does it all are perfect for holiday looks! they give some shine, great hold with memory and still allow your hair to move.....like it's suppose to, and do not flake. Please follow the directions, holding it only 1/2" away will only lead to you starting over from the shampoo no matter the spray.
4. Need extra shine? HEMP SPRAY by Alterna is my favorite. It is perfectly light and gives such a beautiful shine. Not to mention the pleasant scent. Though light you can spray too much. Stay away from the root and remember you can always add more, so start small.
hint: when you concentrate your shine spray at the curve of your head it gives your hair an enhanced natural shine.
Happy styling, and please don't be shy! if there are any questions about styling, holiday hair etc. please let me know!
