Holiday Party Hair Ideas

With the Holiday parties just around the corner, I am always looking for fancy hairdo's for my clients. Here are some of my favorite do's for this holiday season and how to achieve them with a few simple steps.

This stunning do is great for a glamorous event. Curl your hair all over. Then, comb it through with a shine serum into 2 low ponytails at the nape of the neck. Pin the curls in the back to create a chignon like appearance and making sure they connect. Finish with some hairspray and shine serum.

I love the Old Hollywood curls for a party. Create a deep part in your hair. Then curl the hair in sections  towards your face. Run a wide toothed comb through your hair to break up the curls. Then finish with spray and shine serum to make the hair stay and look very shiny. 

This smooth ponytail is great if you don't have much time to get ready. Simply run smoothing serum all over your hair. Then part it where you want it and create a low ponytail. If your hair is short, you can always add some extensions to the ponytail. As always, finish with hairspray and shine spray. 

This is a very simple do and is great when you are wearing a glamorous dress to balance out the look. Simply gather your hair into a high ponytail with your hands but don't pull the pony all the way through. Get some bobby pins and place them to create a messy bun. Spray with hair spray all over. 

A high ponytail is always so glamorous and chic. Blow dry your hair to get rid of frizz and apply a smoothing serum. Then, tease the top of crown of your head, smooth it out and with a smoothing brush, comb your hair into a high ponytail. Spray with hairspray and curl the ends of the ponytail. 

These beachy waves are great for any occasion and are very popular. After you wash your hair, apply some salt spray and let your hair air dry. Then after it dries, wrap your strands around a 1.5inch curling iron and after you are done, use a blow dryer to separate the curls. 

Blow dry your hair to smooth it out and  then curl hair all over. Part the hair where you like it and pull it back in sections and rolling the hair. Secure it with bobby pins, making sure it is loose and soft. Spray with hair spray.
