3 Foolproof Holiday Hair Looks To Get You From Desk To Dancefloor
It’s that time of year again! The hazy weeks before the festive holiday break, where it feels like every evening is some holiday cocktail event or end-of-year celebration; It’s exhausting, it’s overwhelming… it’s the best fun ever!
The thing is, it’s hard to be a 365 party girl, no matter what Charli XCX says. You’re out here struggling to get to work on time each morning after yet another evening of festivities! You don’t have time to prep for work and pre-prep for whatever is on that night!
That’s where we come in. We’ve perfected three easy, huge-slay hair looks that work just as well in the office as they do in the out-of-office. Lean on these for the next few weeks, and you’re set for whatever the night may bring.
Look 1 - Bouncy Blowout
You Need: Everlast Airstyler, Heat Protect Spray, Rapid Repair Bond Builder+ Finishing Oil.
We love a wet-to-dry style using one tool, it takes all the complexity out of getting ready. This majorly bouncy blowout will last you all day and well into the night, trust us. Start by misting damp hair with Heat Protect Spray, then, working in sections, use the Everlast Airstyler Volumising Round Brush attachment to smooth and dry lengths, placing the brush under each section and holding for a few seconds at the roots before brushing out slowly. Apply Rapid Repair Bond Builder+ Finishing Oil to mid-lengths and ends for an extra shiny, frizz-free finish.
Hot Tip: Pack the Finishing Oil in your clutch for a quick once-over before heading out - it’s brilliant for a frizz fix if you’ve been running around all day!
Wet to dry style, lasts all day from before work to holiday party
Look 2 - Gimme Texture
You Need: Infrared Bounce Brush & HG Dry Shampoo
We looove the Infrared Bounce Brush for fast morning styling that lasts all day. This is one for the babes who hit snooze on their alarm a little too many times - for use on dry hair; it’s magic for refreshing a slept-on style or giving that blowout you did earlier in the week a new lease on life.
Just section hair and run the Infrared Bounce Brush under each section, holding at the roots for extra volume. You can wear this look to work for a sleek, profesh vibe and then take along your HG Dry Shampoo to add some sexy texture to mid-lengths and ends.
Hot Tip: In a serious morning rush? Pack your Infrared Bounce Brush and throw your hair in a ponytail for work. You can easily get those hair tie kinks out in the office bathroom before it’s party time!
Look 3 - Slick And Sleek
You Need: Flyaway Wand
If you’re absolutely past wash day, there is no better hairstyle for the office and the dance floor than a slicked-back bun or pony. Praise whoever turned this into a trend because it is a secret weapon!
Use a fine-toothed comb to brush hair back from your face, either with a centre part or no part. Make sure to really get all the bumps out - a smooth finish is a must! Secure in a ponytail, twist with a claw clip or low bun, and you’re all set. Before you run off to that holiday party, just sweep our Flyaway Wand along your hairline to secure any loose hairs that made an escape through the day!
