How to Create the Perfect Christmas Party Hair!
In winter, hair can become dull and lacklustre, feeling limp and dry from the colder weather. It is important to nourish and protect your hair all the way through from washing to styling in order to ensure optimum health, vitality, bounce and shine.
PREP!
When hair becomes dry and damaged in the colder months, it can be easy to reach for extremely hydrating and moisturising products in order to combat the problem. However, these can weigh the hair down and make your hair appear even more limp and lifeless, especially if you have finer hair. The Invati range from Aveda works to gently cleanse the hair while adding volume and density to the hair fibres, helping to give your hair more bounce! The Exfoliating Shampoo works to rid the hair of any product and residue build-up, while cleansing the cuticle and fibres of dirt and impurities to ensure optimal health and vitality. The Thickening Conditioner is formulated to encourage growth and swell the hair fibres to add volume, while reducing split-ends and fibre breakage, leaving hair looking extremely radiant and healthy.
PREEN!
Using a hair mask can help to rehydrate the hair and add essential moisture and hydration. Just like a face mask for the skin, hair masks can help add radiance and restore dry and damaged fibres. Especially in the colder months, this is key for ensuring maximum vitality and keeping your hair healthy! The Wella SP Luxeoil Keratin Restore Mask is perfect for fine hair in need of a radiance boost. Formulated with a unique blend of restorative oils such as Jojoba, Argan and Almond, the mask works to reconstruct damaged hair fibres and leave them looking smooth and glossy. For coloured hair, the Christophe Robin Regenerating Mask contains Inula Flower Extract which helps to restore lustre to the pigments in both natural and coloured fibres, leaving hair looking extremely radiant and shiny. Extremely dry and damaged hair should opt for a more intensive treatment such as the Tigi Catwalk Oatmeal and Honey Mask, which is formulated with a unique blend of fibre-penetrating ingredients to restore dry hair and completely nourish and protect.
PRIME!
This is an important step in ensuring heat protection from styling devices, keeping hair voluminous and bouncy and guaranteeing maximum shine. Priming agents work to ensure you get the best results from styling tools such as straighteners and curlers, leaving your locks luscious and lustrous, and perfect for that Christmas Party! Bumble and Bumble Styling Lotion is excellent for all hair-types, giving heat protection to keep hair frazzle-free and protected, while adding volume, body and shine to fibres, to leave them feeling soft and looking glossy. Sebastian Professional Potion 9 Lite is great for using after the Styling Lotion to hold your style for even longer and ensure your hair stays in place all day. For parties during the Christmas season, the Potion helps to keep curls, blow-dries and updo’s in the best condition all night so you need to use less hairspray, which leaves your hair feeling softer and manageable!
PERFECT!
The last stage to create the Perfect Christmas Party Hair! Whether you want curls, straight locks, or beautiful waves, Look Fantastic have the best range of styling tools to help you achieve your best look! The GHD Gold Max Styler has wider plates to allow for a looser curl and wavier look. Simply take the straightener from halfway up the hair shaft, clamp down and twist away from the head to achieve beautifully loose curls. For tighter curls, the GHD IV Styler is perfect as the smaller plates allow for tauter ringlets, which are great for updo’s as the curl lasts longer due to its tight spring. The Straighteners are great, as they not only curl but do as their name suggests, and straighten. Simply clamp the plates close to the hair cuticle and glide down the hair for a smooth and sleek finish. Use a brush to comb through each straightened part to smooth down the hair fibres and keep volume.
