Salon Secrets: Top Hair Styling Gifts for the Hair Obsessed
Every person dreams of a perfect blow-dry or a flawless up-do. While professional hairdressers make it look effortless, the secret lies in the quality of their tools and products.
We have four gorgeous, easy-to-manage styles for you to try this winter, using professional tools from our Christmas Hair Styling range to give your hair a touch of glamour.
1. The Classic Bouncy Blow-Dry
- Step 1: Prep & Protect. Start by towel-drying your hair after washing. Apply a heat protectant, we offer a variety of options, including the ghd Bodyguard Heat Protection Spray or Osis+ Flatliner Heat Protection Spray. For extra detangling and conditioning, you can layer a leave-in product like milk_shake Leave-In Conditioner Flower Fragrance.
- Step 2: Air Dry & Section. Let your hair air-dry until it is mostly dry. Then, section your hair into medium-to-large sections.
- Step 3: The Blow-Dry. Use a professional dryer (like the WAHL Vanquish Hair Dryer or the GHD Helios Professional Hair Dryer) and a round brush. Roll each section up to the roots and slowly pull it down, curling the hair inwards as you dry it.
- Step 4: Pin & Set. After drying, wrap each section around your fingers and use clips to pin and set the curls. Leave the clips in for about 20 minutes to let the curls cool and lock in shape.
- Step 5: Finish. Finally, unclip, brush through, and finish with a strong-hold hairspray such as our Silhouette Super Hold Spray or Wella Performance Hairspray Ultra Hold to smooth frizz and keep your style bouncy and glossy.
Pro Tip for Volume: For hair that lacks lift, apply the milk_shake Weightless Volume Refreshing Mousse before drying to build structure from the root.
2. Glamorous Festive Curls
For gorgeous curls that are full of bounce and volume, a professional curling wand is your go-to tool.
- Step 1: Crucial Heat Protection. Start by prepping your dry hair with a dedicated heat protectant spray. We offer a variety of exceptional heat protectors, including Pro You The Fixer Shield Heat Protection Spray and Osis+ Flatliner Heat Protection Spray, to safeguard your hair from high heat.
- Step 2: Tool Selection. We offer premium wands (such as GHD or Diva). Check out our ChristmasStylingGifts tag to find all your curling tool needs.
- Step 3: Section & Curl. Divide your hair into sections. Wrap each section of hair around the wand, twisting it away from your face for a natural look.
- Step 4: Cool. Once you have curled your entire head, let the curls cool completely to help set the style.
- Step 5: Style & Hold. Gently loosen the curls with your fingers and finish with a flexible hold spray such as ghd Perfect Ending Final Fix Hairspray or Lisap Milano Lisynet One Extra Strong Hold Spray for soft, flawless Christmas curls.
3. The Polished Ponytail
The polished ponytail is a sleek, sophisticated look that is perfect for any occasion.
- Step 1: Prep & Protect. Start with clean, dry hair. For optimal protection before straightening, apply a heat protectant such as, Top Care Ultimate K Revitalizing Protective & Styling Spray.
- Step 2: Smooth. Use a professional straightener such as the Diva Professional Touch Straightener or the GHD Professional Platinum+ Styler to smooth your hair, focusing on getting it sleek and glossy from root to tip. If you are interested in the ultimate hair care upgrade, look no further than the new Upgrade Italy Infrared line! They use infrared technology to heat your hair from the inside out, which actively protects your hair from damage and helps seal the cuticle for seriously reduced frizz and increased shine.
- Step 3: Gather. Brush your hair back into a high or low ponytail. Secure with a hair bobble.
- Step 4: Conceal. For a sophisticated finish, take a small section of hair and wrap it around the bobble to conceal it. Secure it with a bobby pin underneath the ponytail.
- Step 5: Hold & Shine. After styling, smooth any flyaway’s with a professional hair oil, such as Kadus Velvet Oil or Wella Reflections Hair Oil. Finish with a hairspray like Revlon Style Masters Photo Finisher Hairspray for extra hold.
4. The Quick Messy Top Knot
- Step 1: Texture. Rub a small amount of a light-hold gel or mousse between your palms and run your hands through your hair for grip and structure. We offer excellent options such as Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Style & Care Flexible Mousse or Gummy Professional Hair Mousse.
- Step 2: Gather. Gather your hair into a high ponytail. Since this is a “messy” style, it does not have to be perfect.
- Step 3: Twist and Secure. Twist the ponytail into a loose bun and secure it with bobby pins or a hair bobble.
- Step 4: Soften & Finish. Pull out a few tendrils around your face for a soft, undone look. A light spray of a texture product like EIMI Ocean Spritz 150ml or Gummy Professional Sea Salt Hair Spray will add texture and hold without looking too neat.
