Tis the Season:: HOLIDAY HAIR GUIDE!

GREETINGS, festive friends!  With under two weeks until Thanksgiving, and barely seven weeks to Christmas, the holiday season is here once again.  To me what thats means is its TIME TO DECK YOUR HAIR!  Our schedules get packed in these upcoming weeks with parties, dinners, afterwork drinks, etc, and we don't always have the extra time and energy to fancify for the festivities.  Thats when I come in:  HAIRS SOME IDEAS!

GOT FIVE MINUTES?
TRY A DEEP SIDE PART:

Lanvin, fall '12

Marc by Marc Jacobs, fall '13

Superpolished.

Nina Ricci, amazing pout!

The deep side part is seriously the simplest way to wow, and the fastest!  Flip hair upside down and tussle to create texture and volume.  Take a comb, draw your horizontal part line just below the bend of your head on the side.  Smooth over to the opposite side (continue into a sleek pony if you choose), secure with hairspray.  Here's my girl, Julia's polished part!

I swear this took two seconds.

Julia!  Just above the shoulder-length hair.

Wear your hair half-up,

WORK YOUR WAVE (or whatever texture you have)!

GUCCI GUCCI

fall '12

I'm totally in love with both these angelic looks on the PUCCI/GUCCI runways.  Not gonna lie, definitely wearing one of these to my family's Christmas party this year.  Build some texture same as before (see above, you just read it!).  For the braids, take a square inch section just above both of your ears.  Braid both individually, then cross and pin on the opposite side.  DONE!  For Gucci girls, take sections on both sides of your part, twist, secure.  Check out Katie's version:

Variation is cool, wear your bang behind or in front of your braid!

Gucci, gucci, twist.

WHEN IN DOUBT, leave it to the pros. ❥

Schedule a big BANGIN' BLOWOUT to keep stress at a minimum, and glamour on max.  Ask for something suitable for a special occasion, but keep it soft and moveable.

Gorgeous, Julia!

See loves?  Looking fashionably festive this season doesn't have to be as hard as it looks!  As always, keep it simple, practice before party-time, AND COME SEE ME SOON!  Book your blowout or upstyle with me ASAP, as I'd love to fit all of you darlings in before we fill up completely.

Here's to the beginning of a safe and happy holiday season.

xoxo,

Meghan
