What’s more elegant than a bouncy bob? A flicked-out bob, that’s what!

Editor’s tip: To give your tresses that extra bounce, we suggest using a volume-enhancing spray like the Love Beauty And Planet Volume & Bounty Dry Shampoo.

There comes a time in every festive season when one must adorn the party hat – but if you fear it will ruin your lovely locks, worry not! We’re going to show you how to style it out.

Wearing your hair down is probably the easiest way to rock your tresses, but that certainly doesn’t mean it has to be bland and boring! And since ultra-sleek, straight hair has been spotted on the heads of numerous A-list stars as of late, now is the perfect time to work a red carpet-worthy ‘do for all the fun festivities.

Editor’s tip: Don’t let split ends ruin your party look. Reach for VO5 Split End Rescue Balm to reduce the appearance of split ends, while protecting hair from breakage & humidity. Hair will be left feeling strong, silky, smooth and conditioned.

Tinsel Hair

Simply tie strands of tinsel to the under layers of your hair, spritz with hairspray and get thee to the mistletoe! It’s cheap, it’s simple, and it’s very festive – so what are you waiting for?
