We can’t get over glitter roots for obvious reasons: The trend is so fun, so pretty and so easy to create! This holiday season we’re taking the popular hair trend one step ahead with a festive glitter hair look that will work for your holiday festivities and can also be repurposed for ringing in the new year. Don’t you love a look you can wear two (or more) ways? We sure do! And, you can totally try this look out as a hairstyle that you can wear from desk to drinks, as all it takes is just a few minutes of gel application on your partline (plus some glitter, of course).

Take your party dressing up to a whole new level by pairing this look up with an elegant hairstyle like a deep-side part paired up with sexy Hollywood curls. Read on to learn how you can get glitter hair at home in just two easy steps:

How to Create Glitter Hair for The Holidays

1

Style and apply glitter.

Start with your completed hairstyle of choice. This can be an updo, low ponytail or a side-swept hairstyle like this one. Apply TRESemmé Mega Firm Control Gel from roots to mid-lengths of your hair. Then sprinkle your glitter on your hair.

Finished look.

Use a blowdryer on a cool setting to allow the gel to dry or air-dry your hair. Set the look with a hairspray that imparts a high shine and a flexible hold to your style like Dove Strength and Shine Flexible Hold HairsprayIf you’re wearing an updo hairstyle that doesn’t require lots of movement stick to a hairspary like TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Hold Hairspray instead. Use a paddle brush like Nexxus Ibiza CX2 to detangle and smoothen the lengths, and off you go!
