Holiday Glam: Hair Bling
Monday, November 16th, 2009
My very best time of year is approaching, Holiday Season.
Good food + Good parties = Good times with family and friends
Incorporate one of these looks to transform a simple everyday look into a night one and stunt on your ‘not-so-good’ peeps:
1. Messy
Super neat and sleek hair has no personality. Accentuate your playful side with a touchable messy do.
Update a glam updo with a loose messy bun rather than a slick sculptured one.
2. Sparkle
Add sparkly accessories - barrettes, clips and Swarovski pins to update and dress up a simple ‘do.
Less is more – One statement piece or mix and match a few small pieces.
For a sophisticated chic, stick to simple, abstract designs. No pink hearts. No Hello Kitty. No tiaras.
If you wear statement pieces in your hair, keep earrings and necklaces that frame the face minimal.
This season, feathers are an excellent statement-piece alternative to large flowers which can tend to look bridal or beauty-pagent-ish.
3. Textured locks
Thread sparkly ribbon between braided locks or braids to create a dimensional texture. Keep it to one colour to avoid looking like the host’s christmas tree. Maybe a sparkly gold, silver, black or even red, depending on your hair color and outfit.
Can also work when woven into locks or braids that are neatly pulled back into a bun or chignon.
4. Shine
Work gloss serum or pomade in hair according to texture. for a more relaxed look, spray a little sheen on brush or comb and work through hair. A little goes a long way, adding too much will weigh down tresses.
5. UpBraid
Add a few unexpected plaits or braids to an updo for asymmetrical chic
6. Play with natural texture
Add color. Warm high lights bring out your festive side.
Well placed warm colored sections around face will brighten up your skin and add dimension to hair in a a season of all-black-everything. This look doesn’t have to be permanent. Transform your look with well placed clip in pieces.
Get glammified.
