3 Go-To Festive Hairstyles for Your Christmas Party

High Voluminous Ponytail

Next, we have the high voluminous ponytail. Just imagine this chic festive hairstyle worn with a halter-neck sparkly outfit. Plus, this isn’t just a Christmas party hairstyle. This versatile look can be worn on any and every occasion. A ponytail is an effortless look to achieve, so what brings this look from every day to one of the go-to festive hairstyles is all in the details and the volume.

How to do this festive hairstyle

Step one: The key to the high voluminous ponytail is to prep the hair with as much volume as possible. A good way to achieve this before you even begin to style is to add the Volume Root Stimulating Primer to your haircare routine prior. Massage it into your scalp, then leave for ten minutes and rinse thoroughly with a Volumising Shampoo and Conditioner.

Step two: Once everything is dry, use a curling tong to create a bend in the hair. You can get creative here and curl in different directions. This will achieve those effortless, broken-up style waves.

Step three: Divide the hair into three sections.

1. The front: the hair in front of the ear on both sides
2. The middle: the hair from the crown of the head until the point straight across the ears
3. The lower: all of the hair underneath at the nape of the neck.

Step three: Work with the middle section to create your first ponytail. Return with the Grow Gorgeous Intense Thickening Spray and lift up the hair, directing the spray at the roots and work it through towards the ends. Pull all of the hair up and tie it tightly into place with a hair tie.

Step four: Next, tilt the head back and add in your lower section at the nape of the neck, adding it into the first ponytail with another hair tie.

Step five: Finally, add the third section with a third hair tie. Brush all of the hair back and again, add some of the Grow Gorgeous Intense Thickening Spray at the roots. This will help to provide that lifted, voluminous look without the need to backcomb.

Step six: Now that your high voluminous ponytail is set into place, the only thing left to do is conceal all of those hair ties! You can do this by taking a thin section of hair from the back of the ponytail and wrapping it around the hair tie. Secure it into place with a pin.

Slicked Back Hair

Finally, we have the slicked back hair. This bold look was first seen in the 80’s and like most other fashion statements from that era, it has returned. It’s sleek, chic, and all over the runways. Slicked back hair is staying in style for the forseeable and is one of the perfect festive hairstyles to spice up your Christmas look.

How to do this festive hairstyle

Step one: After washing your hair, add some of the Grow Gorgeous Intense Thickening Spray at the roots and work through the ends to add some texture.

Step two: Blowdry your hair all the way back. Unlike the Hollywood curls, for slicked back hair, we want no parting.

Step three: Lift the roots up as you dry to give the base of the hair some natural volume and body. Comb the strands backwards as you dry the hair on either side of the head for a smooth hold.

Step four: With everything dried into place, smooth on some Volume Bodifying Leave-In Serum to each side and to the back of the hair to seal everything into place and control any flyaways for that slick finish.
