3 no-fail ways to add glamour to your holiday hair.
The holiday season brings out little black dresses, festive red lips, and irresistibly chic hair. It's the one time of the year you can go a touch over the top to look fabulous (DVF dress, sky-high YSL heels and a blinged-out statement necklace). But your best accessory can be show-stopping hair. No need to head to the salon to get these 'dos, we have the step-by-step instructions to fab holiday hair with tips from Yorkville's TONI&GUY creative director, Rob Pupo.
Texture Just like on the fall/winter runways, this season's hair is all about texture (think Derek Lam's bouffant textured runway locks). "Mixing in multiple textures gives depth and drama to a standard look," says Pupo.
• Begin by using a volumizing shampoo and conditioner on the hair. On damp hair apply a texture paste such as TONI&GUY Texture Paste, to the middle and ends of hair shaft to help crate grip. • Dry hair with a diffuser attachment to help create texture and a natural bend in the hair. Use medium heat and avoid running hands through hair until completely dry.
• Apply a bit more paste to the hands and apply onto hair for control.
• Separate the top of the hair from the bottom and sides to create 3 big sections.
• Starting with the bottom and side sections, direct hair with your hands to the center back of the head and secure with bobby pins. Keep this silhouette slightly loose.
• Repeat on opposite side overlapping the center back. Once again secure with bobby pins to create a modern take on the classic French Twist.
• Using the top section, bring all hair back to the crown. Tease roots for added height and volume. Secure with bobby pins.
• Again, add a little paste to your hands and fiddle with the hair to create more texture and until your desired shape is achieved.
