Top Festive Hair Ideas:
Up do's are always a key look for this time of year and this year the slick back style is huge. The look is so simple but very elegant and will be perfect for office to party hair. Simply wash your hair the day before – this will make it easier to style and will have more hold. Apply
a small amount of serum, scrape the hair back and tie either in a neat bun or style into a messy
pony. Finish with a fine mist of Shine Spray like Clynol Gloss Spray (£6.15) and Hairspray to add a subtle shimmer and hold to the style.
Accessories are a great way to add interest to any hair cut or style and will suit everyone. One of my favourites for this season is a sparkly jewelled hair clip. So simple and easy to use but will glam up any hairstyle. Style your hair as normal and pin back sections of hair off the face with the clips. Another great way to accessorize you hair is with a cute bow. Simply match the ribbon to your party outfit and use in hair down or hair up.
Shine is another key look for party hair – it can make any hairstyle go from drab to FAB! To add a little shimmering elegance to your style try a shine spray, which will combat frizz and leave hair soft, glossy and manageable. For a more permanent result try an in salon NANOMAX 3D (from £20) shine treatment to give a longer lasting shine, this treatment also includes a blow dry, so it is perfect for getting done before the Christmas party or on Christmas eve.
Hangover Hair Cure:
With all the late nights and over styling during the festive season, your hair will be screaming out for a post party detox in the New Year. Use a deep cleansing shampoo to cleanse and
purify the scalp getting rid of any product build up that will weigh the hair down and leave it looking dull. Your hair will be left feeling refreshed and with a new lease of life. Why not book
in for a Kerastase Ritual Treatment (from £8) to put the health, strength and shine back.
Lisa Shepherd Salons offer a range of styling services for a pre festive pick me up – from a simple blow dry, to glamorous up-do to adding in extra length hair wefts for a real wow.
