No matter what your style is, you can get an elegant hairstyle for your Holiday party. Here are a few ideas that will wow your friends and family.
1
THE MESSY BUN
THE HAIRSTYLE:
This variation on the low bun gives any look a casual elegance.
DIRECTIONS:
- Apply a volumizing powder in well-brushed hair to give it body and make it easier to comb. For even more volume, it is possible to scrunch it with your hands or even to tease it a little.
- Tie your hair into a ponytail.
- Wrap the hair loosely around the base of the ponytail. Secure it with pins while making sure are to let out some wicks.
- Adjust the hairstyle: extract wicks around the face. If necessary, spray some polishing spray to add shine.

THE TWISTED PONYTAIL
THE HAIRSTYLE:
Both simple and glamourous, this twist is a no brainer.
DIRECTIONS:
- Wash your hair and wring it out. Then apply straightening cream.
- Blow-dry your hair in small sections with the help of a round brush.
- Part your hair down the middle and use your fingers to twist the two strands that frame your face. Secure these twists behind your head with flat hair clips.
- Gather up your hair into a low ponytail and spray long-lasting hairspray over your entire head.

THE BRAIDED CROWN
THE HAIRSTYLE:
Romantic, distinguished... the high braid offers the best of all possible worlds! It is worn smooth, tamed, or slightly ruffled, for effortless chicness.
DIRECTIONS:
- Spray the hair with a texturizing spray and tease at the top of the skull for optimal volume.
- Start the braid on one side of the head by offsetting the natural part. Braid according to the "French" method: separate the hair in three equal strands and add hair to each strand as you move along crossing the strands.
- Go around the head, until you do not have any more hair to add, then secure the braid with a clear elastic.
- Attach the end of the braid to the top of the head by hiding the elastic under the hair. Pull on the sides to inflate and loosen the hairstyle.
- For a foolproof style, use hairspray.

VOLUME BUN
THE HAIRSTYLE:
Christmas Eve with the family, office party, formal evening... you can wear the XXL bun for any occasion!
DIRECTIONS:
- Tease all the hair. Isolate strands of 2 to 3 cm wide and bring hair back to the root with a comb. If necessary, work the texture with a volumizing powder.
- Tie hair in a ponytail, close to the nape of the neck, with a clear elastic. Pull lightly as needed to fluff, and brush on the top, without pressing too much, to clear tease marks.
- Use pins to gather hair into a relatively tight bun.
- Spray a light hairspray to ensure a hold while preventing the hairstyle to sag.
5
NATURAL CURLS
THE HAIRSTYLE:
Good news, the soft waves that appeared on Gucci runways look great on both the stage and the streets.
DIRECTIONS:
- Wash your hair with a curling shampoo to stimulate natural curls.
- After applying a small dab of curling mousse, dry your hair with your head down using a diffuser.
- With your fingers, brush your hair to mess up any perfect waves.
6
HALF-UP
THE HAIRSTYLE:
Tied? Loose? With the half-up, no need to choose!
DIRECTIONS:
- Smooth the hair with a round brush, without straightening it too much, in order to eliminate frizz.
- Isolate hair on the top of the head, next to the temples. Tease more or less generously, depending on the desired volume, strand by strand. If needed, add a pinch of texturizing powder before combing. Make sure to tease from underneath to maintain a uniform appearance.
- Gather the teased locks by tying them with a clear elastic.
- If desired, create curls in the loose hair with a large curling iron.
