How to get the look…

 

We’re always very concerned about getting ourselves in shape for a party, to make sure that we can fit into that all important little black dress or sparkly number. What we tend to forget is that we need to get our hair in shape too!

Start by detoxing your hair. If you’re a keen swimmer, like your styling products or work or live in a pollution hotspot then your hair will benefit from a detox shampoo. Try using Paul Mitchell’s Shampoo 3 to help remove any residue.

If you suffer from fine, limp flyaway hair then use a thickening shampoo and conditioner to plump up your locks. The Volumactive range by Kerastase not only helps to thicken hair but strengthens it too.

Finally, if you’re planning on wearing your hair up for a party then try and get it washed and dried the night before, as it will make it easier to work with. Freshly washed hair is too slippery to style.

 

  1. Paul Mitchell Shampoo 3 – detox your hair with Paul Mitchell’s clearing shampoo 3. Great for removing product built up and residue.

     

  2. Kerastase Masque Volumactive - This luxurious hair masque is excellent for anybody wanting to pump up the volume!  Once dull and lifeless hair is transformed into luscious locks full of body.

     

  3. Bumble and bumble Prep - Prep makes a great detangler and helps to prepare the hair for styling.

Try swapping your normally straight locks for something a bit different. Curls and waves are very popular and will look great for a party. Use a curl enhancing lotion such as Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancer through wet hair and dry hair with a diffuser to create a great wavy style. Alternatively, use large heated rollers or curling tongs to give you a beautiful loose curl. Finish both styles with a shine enhancing spray such Tecni.art Crystal Gloss, L’Oreal Professional.
  1. Always use a heat protective spray or cream before blow drying, curling or straightening hair.  Try Kerastase's Nectar Thermique to both protect hair from thermo damage whilst also intensely nourishing it.
  2. Paul Mitchell Pro Curling Wand allows you to achieve glamourous curls with minimum effort.  Once hair is dry take random sections and wrap them around the wand to curl.  For best results finish with a styling serum to achieve a glossy glamorous finish and a soft finish hairspray to give hair some hold.
  3. Revive tired, flagging curls with Matrix Curl Life All Day Reactivator.  Curls simply spring back to life after use and will last longer and stay frizz-free

Plaits have made a comeback recently and have been seen all over the catwalk with designers such as Marc Jacobs and Emporio Armani creating different looks to accompany their latest seasonal trends.  With celebrity trendsetters such as Lauren Conrad, Jennifer Aniston and Drew Barrrymore following suit and all doning plaits on recent visits on the red carpet it's safe to say that the plait is bang on trend!

The trend is easy to follow and very versatile as plaits work well on all hair types and can be worn in so many different ways.  Twisted plaits, side plaits or Heidi -inspired plaits, it doesn't matter what you go for, just get plaiting!

  1. If you're thinking of trying a face framing front side plait then why not leave the rest of your hair loose.  Try Bumble and bumble's Surf Spray to give your hair texture and create beach chic waves.
  2. Alternatively, if you'd rather opt for smooth tresses to accompany your look then try using a serum to help create a sleeker finish.  L'Oreal Tecni.Art Liss Control+ is ideal for creating softness and smoothness and works on even the most difficult to manage hair.
  3. Keep your plaits in place with this great hairspray from TIGI S-Factor.  Vivacious Hairspray promises to deliver medium hold whilst adding shine and giving you greater control.
