A French twist is no longer the only way for your hair to help raise your spirits. Try these variations on the classic and get ready to party like it's (almost) 2012:
The Rocker: Headed for The Hard Rock or the hippest party in Manhattan? This may be the style for you. Slather wet hair with a volumizing product like CHROMASTICS GEL to give more life and texture to your hair. Blow dry by using a round brush. Wrap your hair around the barrel tightly and blow your hair with hot heat aimed right at it till its dry. Back comb at the top for height and make a messy bun on the back of your head. Hold the do with bobby pins in the center and spray for hold with SCRUPLES HAIR SPRAY.
The Retro: Think serene thoughts of Princess Grace and use a smoothing serum like AGADIR MORROCAN OIL in damp hair. Blow dry with a vent and brush to up the shine factor. Plump up the roots with a little gel like CHROMASTICS TRIORGANIC SPRAY GEL. Make a ponytail and anchor it with bobby pins. Separate into two sections. Wrap one around as the bun section (secure with pins) and let the other hang loosely. Set with a finishing spray like IDEN FINISH SPRAY.
The Bedroom: Looking like you just came from a tussle in the boudoir with George Clooney is a good thing. Blow your hair straight with a large barrel brush. Take the top half of your hair and tease it. Afterwards create structure by combing it back with a fine tooth comb. Gather all the hair upward and secure with pins. To frame your face, let some loose strands fall and pull out wispy bangs. Enhance the sheen finish by spraying with a light mist like AESTELANCE SPRAY LIGHT.
The Innocent: Want to stand out from the holiday crowd? Employ the old saying, “less is more.” Blot your hair dry with a towel (gently!) and use your fingers as a comb to blow dry. Create a loose ponytail low on one side of your next using a wide tooth comb. Take the bottom of your pony tail and wrap the bottom into the elastic holding the ponytail, creating a bun. Spray with AESTELANCE LUSTRE to enhance the shine.
