Holiday hairstyles can be fun and easy to create! So many girls run to their hairdresser when realistically they can do their own up-do. The holiday season is a happy time, so think flirty, fun styles that make you smile, that make you feel confident. You can set your hair in hot rollers for a big, bouncy hot-off-the-runway look, or put your hair up in a quick French twist that will look like you spent hours on it.

Here’s how–

Decide which pieces you would like around your face- i.e. Long side bangs, side pieces, and leave them around your face. Pull the rest of your hair to the nape of your neck. Twist the hair tightly, and pull the twisted hair upward toward the crown. Bobby pin the seam until it looks clean and neat–it doesn’t have to be perfect. If there is any excess hair at the top by the crown, gently tease the pieces and curl them. Now concentrate on the front. Flat iron the bangs and the side pieces and loosely place them where they join the rest of the hair. Lock your style in place with shine and hold by using a product like Kerastase, Aveda or Aura Lavender hairspray. 

You can add sparkly bobby pins or barrettes and combs to your ‘do, whether it’s up, curly or sleek. Use your imagination and have fun! Remember it doesn’t have to cost a lot to look beautiful. It starts with your beautiful, smiling face.

Happy Holidays!

Till next time!
