Getting "The Look" For Holiday Parties

Posted

(NAPSA)—Sporting the “hot” hairstyle at a holiday party is one sure way to get noticed—he it by friends, colleagues, relatives or current and/or potential flames. Two of the hottest styles this season play up either gorgeous curls or silky-straight hair—and stylists say the looks are easy to achieve. Here’s how: Step 1: Shampoo andcondition your hair. Use room temperature water, as hot water can dry out or damage hair. If your hair has some damage, use a deepor leavein conditioner. Finally, be sure to gently blot your hair after washing. Wet hair is vulnerable to breakage and rubbing it hard can cause damage. Step 2: If you’re going for gorgeous curls, apply VO5 Curvaceous Curls from root to ends. The product is an extra-hold, alcohol-free mousse that doesn’t leave a sticky resin. It also helps hair resist humidity and locks out frizz. If you’re going for the silky-straight look, spritz on VO5 Miracle Mist Heat Defense Conditioning Spray and blow-dry using a round brush. Holiday Hits—Silky-straight hair is one of the season’s top looks. Step 3: For curls, twist sections of hair and air-dry or use a diffuser while scrunching hair. You will have a head of ringlets when you're done. For straight hair, use a flatiron when your hair is dry, but respray with Miracle Mist first to protect hair from a second dose of heat. When done, finish with VO5 Smoothing Souffl for added shine and to eliminate frizz. For more styling tips, visit www.albertoVO5.com.
