Condition, Condition, Condition
Great holiday hair begins with healthy, well-conditioned hair. That means using a moisturizing hair mask. It can be as quick as letting the product sit for 5-minutes while in the shower. Or actually sleeping in it overnight (just put a towel on your silk pillowcase). It makes such a difference! Blowouts look smoother and curls last longer. It's a must.
I know that this involves an extra step but hear me out. Spend 30 minutes (and a few dollars) at your local salon and get that perfectly done, perfectly smooth blowout before an event or party. Sleep on a silk pillowcase with your hair piled high in a scrunchie, and that blowout will LAST. Day two, spritz roots with a volumizer and use a curling wand for big hair. Day three, you'll still have light waves. (I've been known to stretch a blowout a good 5 days, but don't tell anyone.)
Go With Your Natural Texture and Add Hair Accessories
When I want to really change things up, I'll just go with my natural texture, which is wavy-to-curly hair. I'll air dry it and then add really fun and sparkly hair accessories, like a cluster of bobby pins or hair clips. Do you have naturally straight hair? Brush it smooth into a low ponytail and play with hairbands or pony cuffs for a cool, modern look.
Whether you want to cover up gray or simply fix uneven color regrowth, double check those roots. Especially if you're wearing your hair up or pulled back. I'm nearly 90% gray now, so I'm always touching up. But just as important, I make sure to color my brows, too. (Amanda tells me that most women forget that step!) And while they don't have to "match", having a bit of depth to your brow really makes a difference.
