A festive hairstyle for the holidays

During the holidays, you want to look your very best. Beautiful clothes, great make-up and a festive hairdo. Marloes, from Quinto kappers Bleiswijk gives advice in her blogs, how you can make sure you appear at the Christmas party with the most beautiful hairdo.

Food, candles, the Christmas tree full of lights … During the holidays you want everything on fleek. So also your hair! Of course, you are always welcome to get a festive hairstyle. But if you don’t have time for that, I would like to give you some tips to make a work of art of your hairstyle yourself.

A festive hairstyle: the care

Everything starts with good grooming. This way you can already get the best out of your hair that it already has naturally in it. Use a good conditioner and a mask from time to time won’t hurt either. Especially at this time of year when it is cold outside and the heaters are blazing inside.

Be careful if you plan to straighten or curl your hair. If you have just nourished your hair with conditioner, it will be heavier and your hairstyle may collapse. Use volume products from a good brand such as the Pure Volume line from Maria Nila. These do not weigh hair down. If you are going to work with heat, such as a hair dryer or straighteners or curling irons, use a heat protector, for example the Cream Heat Spray or Quick Dry Heat Spray from Maria Nila. Once your hair is thoroughly dry you can start. For example, by braiding in.

Braiding

Take three strands of hair at the hairline above the forehead. Place the right strand over the middle strand so that the one that was just on the right is now the middle one. Now stroke the left strand over the middle one.

Repeat this process , but each time you take a tuft from the side, take a new tuft from the hair that is still hanging loose unused. So the tufts you braid with become thicker and thicker. When no more hair is hanging loose, you can of course continue braiding as you started. But you can also put in an elastic band and make a nice bun of the tail.

Knot

A low bun is also chic without a braid. What is nice is to leave a thin strand of hair loose on both sides in front of the ear. To finish it off you can curl it with curling irons.

Of course it is difficult to explain something as practical as braiding, curling or sticking it up on paper. But fortunately there are plenty of videos on the Internet that will give you inspiration and explain step by step how to create a certain hairstyle. We also provide useful tips and tricks for a beautiful hairstyle on the Internet. Take a look at our facebook page.

How to keep your festive hairstyle beautiful

Finally, some tips:

Use a good hairspray once your hair is to your liking. For example, Hot Shot by Touch. If you want your hairstyle to stay very long and firm, use Extreme Spray from Maria Nila. A gel or soft wax to which you sprinkle glitter (just craft glitter) also gives a super festive look!

Happy holidays and happy new hair!
