Christmas Hairstyles

A Hairdo for celebration of Christmas And New Year Eve or How to make it Yourself!

xmas hairstylesThe New Year is coming. Certainly the preparation for the New Year's Eve party is at full speed for many of us. Undoubtedly, the main thing for any woman on the New Year’s Eve is to look as dazzling as possible. That’s why we were telling you about the New Year’s make-up in our last article, and today we are going to give you some advice on what you can do with your hair to make everyone at the party admire you.

Fortunately, the modern industry has greatly succeeded in creation of various hair styling products. Therefore, before starting a new hairdo, it would be better to find out about the most popular and effective hair styling products to make your task easy and to get a perfect result.First of all, it’s necessary to find out what will keep the hairdo in order for rather long time and won’t let us look like unhappy Cinderella next morning when her coach turned into the pumpkin and her beautiful hairdo turned into a mop.


Hair Fixing Products:

Ten years ago we had no idea about the products which could fix our hairdo properly for a long time and let the hair look naturally and free. Our grannies and mothers used to sleep with curlers in the hair or plaited hair wet with bear to get it wavy in the morning. There weren’t any gel or mousse those days.

Today there is a great number of hair fixing products. Their important advantage is they don’t need any professional skills and they can be used at home. The effect of these products is based on their ability to make hair much thicker, it becomes more elastic, as if it is ‘memorizing’ the position it should be in. Besides, the hair styling products contain substances which provide hair with effective protection from negative external influences such as a hair-drier, for example.

Mousse.

hairstyles for holidaysIt’s a perfect product for a stylish hair setting. Mousse does not only fix hair properly but also volumize hairdo that is very important for fine hair. Except it, this product is convenient to use as it is applied right on the hair and not on the scalp. Mousse is usually applied on wet hair before setting it with a fan.

Your hair will look naturally and won’t lose its brilliance after setting, if you apply a fixing product in the accurate doses. Too much mousse will stick your hair together in wiry locks. Usually, egg size dose is enough for middle length hair. It’s very important to apply styling product evenly. There is a small professional tip to get it: after applying mousse on your hair, brush it with a large toothed comb. Do not apply mousse on too wet hair because the fixing substance may just ‘slide off’.

And there is one more significant remark. Mousse can be of three fixation levels: normal, ultra and extra. Extra mousse has a distinct drying effect, therefore it’s good for greasy hair setting. But these products shouldn’t be used for dry and unhealthy hair.

Moulding cream.

hairstyles for holidaysThe women who don’t spare their hair should be careful while setting it not to let the hair-drier and styling products exhaust and damage the hair. A hair setting with a special cream is a great variant for “tired” hair. Apply some cream on clean and slightly dried hair; brush it with a fine toothed comb and style as you wish. Dry only in the open air. The moulding cream will also help handle either a naughty strand or a tuft.

Styling lotion.

Although, it doesn’t make hair shine, it adds more volume and keeps a hairdo longer. First of all, the lotion is suitable for fine and thin hair that is difficult to pull into a hairdo for a long time.
You can apply the lotion on dry or wet hair and set it with a hair drier or hair curlers.
Some hair styling products contain substances oiling every single hair, cover it and protect it while drying and contact hot circling-irons or thermo-rollers. These products are suitable for long hair, which needs more brilliance and flexibility.

Styling Gel.

hair stylesIt’s perfect for all hair types. If you apply it on wet hair and blow dry, your hairdo will look more volumouse and stay for the whole day long. If the gel is applied on dry hair, you will get ‘wet hair’ effect. The gel is better to use for dry hair but just in case if it doesn’t contain any alcohol. Peruse a list of ingredients on the label carefully.

Innovation: an aerosol gel – an aerosol and gel mixture. The gel gives hair more fixedness and volume, without making it coarse. Apply this product on dry hair, brush it thoroughly with a fine-tooth comb, and then style your hairdo with the help of fingers and a comb. After a while you can easily brush your hair again, but the hairdo will stay the same. Your hair gets a nice natural shine along with a light ‘wet’ effect.

Hair wax (oil).

They’ll help ‘tame’ unmanageable curly hair. You need to spread the oil or wax on your palms and rub it into the hair. The components that are included in the oil or wax promote better scales fitting of the cortical hair layer. Your curls become brilliant, flexible, and elastic, ready for the setting. Furthermore, these products perfectly protect dry hair. Wax is also suitable to fix separate unruly strands. Using wax or oil, an important thing you should remember is it’s better to use less than more. You can easily overdose these products in use and your hair will look greasy and untidy.

Hair spray.

It is used after the setting for the final hairdo fixing. The modern hair spray does not only fix a hairdo but also makes it shine. The spray doesn’t stick hair together keeping it lively and manageable at the same time. It is good for all types of updoes, for any length hair, and for separate strands fixing. The spray can be easily removed by brushing hair with a fine-tooth comb.

If you have no time for perfect setting making, you can spray your hair all around (sprays with vertical atomization are best for this purpose), twist strands with a round vent brush and then blow-dry a little bit. You can also curl dry hair with the round brush, spray it and take the brush out carefully.

Now it would be helpful to find out what is good exactly for your hair type in accordance with its length.


Greasy Hair:

christmas hairstylesAll hair styling products lose their fixing characteristics when applying on greasy hair. Hair-do may look unwashed and greasy just in a half an hour. So you shouldn’t use gels and mousses excessively, but if you really like to, you would better apply them reasonably.

Long Hair.

You would better not use volumizing mousse for this type of hair as it will get dirty rather soon. It would be better to apply gel only on the roots in order to lift the hairdo a little. You can also use gel to emphasize the strands, as it fixes hair better than other products, even if it is applied in a thin layer.

Short and Medium Hair.

You would better fix short greasy hair with the strongest styling products. Every time you buy something for your hair setting you should choose bottles with ‘extra hold’ inscription.
Generally speaking there are plenty of other styling products that have been created recently. This is a shining cream with caring effect, cream-gel with pearly shine effect, foam wax, luster pomade and others. All these fashionable things will help you look stylish. However you should remember that the excessive use of these products can damage your hair.


Dry and Thin Hair:

new year eve hairstylesThis type of hair is rather unprotected and the styling products can dry it up and damage. Besides, even hair spray is visible on fine and thin hair and it doesn’t look nice. When choosing mousse or spray, you’d better give your preference to the products with hair care and moisturing ingredients.

Long Hair.

Thin hair as a rule needs more volume. Mousse will perfectly cope with this task. If you apply it on wet hair dried a little with a towel along the full length, you can style your hair in a perfect way and it will look naturally without sticking together. There is one more way to make hair volumouse with the help of spray. Spray wet hair while setting it with a hair-drier. Suppose, you don’t need any volume, but would like to pull your hair into a pony-tail. The question is how to make your hair sleek? In this case you would better use gel a gel spray. Spread a small amount of gel spray on your palms, apply it on your hair sleeking back, brush and then sleek again with some more gel.

You can use wax to add shining gloss to your hair. Spread it over the gel in a very thin layer. If your hair is very fuzzy, you can manage it by sleeking and apply spray at the same time. It’s better to choose the natural spray from all other sprays as it covers hair more softly and is almost invisible on it. When you are styling a complicated hairdo and would like to emphasize or curl separate strands, you would better use gel or special foam to give vitality to the hair locks. Put some product throughout the hair strand and give it desirable shape, compressing it with fingers or curling with curling-irons. Blow-dry and finish with spray for hold.

Short and Medium Length Hair.

Dry fine hair is very flexible, easy to fix and hold in hairdo. So, you can make any hairdo with short hair and fulfill any of your wishes. The only thing you should remember is even applying of styling products, otherwise they will be seen. You can make this type of hair fuzzy; moreover it’s possible to adorn it with separately emphasized extravagant strands, or just fashionably tousle your hair. Thereto you will need gel or wax for extra hold. Press out some gel and spread it on your finger-tips. Apply on dry hair and ruffle it.


Normal Hair:

hairstylesThe setting secrets for normal hair are the same but there are much more opportunities for hairdo styling as you can apply absolutely any hair sprays, mousse, gels on healthy hair without detriment to hair condition and external hair look.

Long Hair.

Make use of lotion for long hair setting and volumizing. It can be applied on dry or half-dried hair. Mould your hair into desired updo with hands, with brush or hair-rollers, then blow-dry completely or let the hair dry itself. You can also use mousse to get fuzzy hairstyle, as well as gel to emphasize separate hair locks.

Short and Middle Length Hair.

You can make some experiments with extra gel – it fixes the setting and gives the ‘wet hair’ effect. Especially it’s good for curls. You can apply some gel on your palm or on the brush and spread over your hair, arranging it and emphasizing strands as you wish. You can also tousle your hair, having put styling wax on it beforehand, and then you will get the shining hairdo in the unisex style.

Certainly there are suitors of the feminine style among us who will surely want to appear in front of their beloved as tender creatures in low-necked evening dresses and, of course, with amazing wavy hair at the New Year Eve party.


Curls, Ringlets and Waves...

The main holiday of the year is coming up soon. You have thought through the clothes you will be wearing in advance, you’ve made a manicure and bought a new handbag and gloves for this rendezvous. The most important thing left is to make a hairdo. You want your hair to be curly or wavy, but you have no time to visit the hairdresser’s.
Well, there is nothing impossible in this world. You will get the fabulous hairstyle. All you need is essential styling products, some wish, patience and skills.

Hair curlers. Metal curlers with terrible black elastics which were put on the head for the whole night and you could get rid of them just in the morning before leaving home having an awful headache, are fortunately left in the past. However it doesn’t mean this way of getting charming curlers is also left behind.

It’s perfect to use paper hair curlers from the caring hair treatment point of view. Now, the hair curlers are made of foam plastic, not of paper as in the last century. Run some fixing product throughout the hair after washing; blow-dry separate strands a little bit and only then curl with the rollers. Blow-dry completely or let the hair dry itself.

Big, soft plastic curlers of are really actual nowadays. Probably you will not reach the effect of small curlers bringing in order or an austere hairstyle using this kind of curlers. But you will be able to make your long or middle length hair fly and look naturally with slightly emphasized waves. You should know that to make this hairdo you don’t need any locks, just volumouse hair. You can volumize your hair with a fine round brush and a fan, and one more thing… you will need a lot of time and efforts to do that. It is much easier to make this hairdo with hair curlers: you should wash your hair, apply some mousse and brush it, then curl small separate starnds with rollers. You should be as careful as posible with your hair ends – twist them gently around a roller, do not bend them not to damage and not to make them look terribly after drying. Blow-dry your hair with a fan or let it dry itself and then blow it aroung with a strong warm current, which is very important to do. Finally, brush your hair and shape it with a comb.
