How To Get The Look
The festive season is the perfect time to get glam. Forget your favourite loungewear and try something new. Maybe a red lip or a brand new hairstyle. Unlike last year, we are able to go ‘out out’ this Christmas and New Year.
Local salon owner at SESH Hairdressing SIMON HILL has put together some styles you can create at home for the festivities:
Cool Girl Texture –
This style is perfect if you like an understated style that still looks cool and pairs perfectly with a sparkly, show stopping outfit.
The key to this look is in the products you use. Use your straightening iron to add as much or as little texture as you like. Slightly bend the hair between the irons in alternating directions to create a subtle shape.
Finish with a texturising hairspray and use your fingers to manipulate the shape and style of your hair. The key to this look is not to be too ‘perfected’ so embrace that slightly undone look.
Product recommendation – Wella EIMI Sugar Lift .
Top Knot –
Not just a style reserved for the day before hair wash, but a style that can elevate any Christmas party outfit.
To give this look a polished edge to make it party friendly, spend time smoothing your hair into a ponytail before creating the bun. Use your hair brush to smooth your hair towards the bobble to remove any unwanted lumps.
Take the length of your ponytail and wrap around your hair tie before securing with hair grips. Finish with strong hold hairspray to withstand Scottish winter weather.
Product recommendation – Wella Luxe Oil.
Sleek and Sophisticated –
Bang on trend at the moment is this slick back, sophisticated style. Give this look an update for the festive season with a deep side parting like we have done here.
Use a lightweight hair gel or pomade to remove unwanted texture and smooth your hair back towards the nape of your neck. If you have short hair, try leaving it down, smoothed behind your ears. If your hair is longer, try tying it into a low bun or a sleek ponytail.
Product recommendation – Eleven Australia Dry Shampoo Volume Paste
Vava Volume –
This style embodies Christmas time and is sure to turn heads on NYE.
Use your hairdryer to add lots of volume to your hair before your begin styling. Depending on the look you want, you can add a soft wave through your hair once dry. Take the top section of your hair and create that volume at the front to give an air of drama to your style.
Use a back comb to create this and apply dry shampoo to the roots of your hair to give it more grip and hold. Secure with hair grips towards the crown of your head before using your fingers to gently pull out loose strands. This look is guaranteed to take your Christmas night out outfit to the next level.
Product recommendation – Eleven Australia Dry Finish Wax Spray.
