We admit it! We have favourites!!!
The festive season is well and truly here and that means it’s the perfect time to let your hair down and get your party shoes on!!
However, we know what nearing the end of the year can be like and we get it. If you’re racing towards December 31st feeling overworked, strung out, and a little unorganised (eek last minute Christmas shopping!!), the thought of glamming up for an end-of-year party might feel like the final straw.
But here’s the good news - socialising doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your hair’s style or making it a chore!
Whether you’re dressing up for Christmas parties, New Year’s Eve, or anything in between, we’ve picked our favourite show-stopping (and easy to do) hairstyles for each hair type to get you ready for the celebrations.
Easy, fun, and totally achievable with LOHY. products—here are our top holiday hair picks..
Type 1 Straight Hair: The Slicked Back Ponytail
This classic style screams effortless chic. It's also SUPER easy to do and because it uses some sturdy long lasting products, it will last you all night!
What You’ll Need: Cruise Control, Pow Strong Hold Gel, Hold-It Hairspray, and your trusty LOHY. Flexi Brush.
How to Style: Brush your washed and dry hair using the Flexi Brush to smooth it out. Around the crown and roots, apply A GENEROUS amount of Pow Strong Hold Gel and brush it through (don’t worry if some gets on the ends—you can scrunch it out later). Gather your hair into a ponytail—low or high, your call! Secure it with a tie and finish with Hold-It Shimmer Hairspray for that sleek, polished look.
Type 2 Wavy Hair: The Messy Low Bun
This style screams casual glam, combining simplicity with a touch of chic.
What You’ll Need: Cruise Control Curl Defining Cream, Chutzpah Volumising Foam, Hold-it Hair Spray.
How to Style: On damp, washed hair, apply a coin-sized amount of Cruise Control using the prayer hands technique to avoid disrupting your waves. Scrunch gently, then add Chutzpah for extra hold (a must for long-lasting style). Diffuse dry and gather your hair loosely at the nape of your neck, letting some strands naturally fall around your face for a soft look. Twist the hair gently into a bun and secure it with some pins, pins help to keep the bun loose and relaxed, while making sure its secure. For extra volume, tug lightly at the crown and edges of the bun. Finish with a spritz of Hold-It Shimmer Hairspray to lock the bun in place while keeping it beautifully imperfect.
Type 3 Curly Hair: BIG Voluminous Curls
Take your curls to the next level of big by following the expand-your-curls routine! You can find the whole routine here. Who doesn't love big juicy curls? Well, using this routine and a combo of LOHY. products you can create lasting volume that will give you some serious WOW factor.
What You’ll Need: Chutzpah Volumising Foam, Hold-It Hairspray, Flexi Brush. Patience (this style takes a bit more time).
How to Style:
Load Up on Product: Generously apply Chutzpah Volumising Foam to your wet curls. The best way to do this is by sectioning your hair and making sure you evenly coat each strand.
Use your Flexi Brush to brush each strand to create juicy curl clumps, then scrunch and squish as usual. Scrunching encourages curls to form.
Expand for Volume: At 50% dryness, separate large curl clumps into smaller ones to amplify volume. Continue to dry with your diffuser on low heat, low airflow.
Once fully dry, use your hair dryer without the diffuser attachment to fluff the roots - this step activates major volume!!
A mist of Hold-It Hairspray for definition and shine and you’re ready to go!
Type 4 Coily Hair: One Sided Pinned Curls
There is no exact name to define this statement style, however a side-pinned look with plenty of volume is what you’ll end up with! Perfect for those wanting to wear their curls out, while adding a bit of sparkle.
What You’ll Need: Chutzpah Volumising Foam, Hold-It Hairspray, Pow Strong Hold Gel, LOHY. Volume Combs.
How to Style: Start with the expand-your-curls method for big, defined curls. You can do a simpler version of this method if you don't have enough time. Once your curls are dry, fluff them with a hair pick or LOHY.'s Volume + Root Lift Combs - these little combs are so versatile and can be used like a hair pick on coarser textured hair. Pull one side of your hair back (the side with less volume works best) and secure it with some bobby pins and sparkly clips for a festive touch. The result? A chic, sophisticated look that’s perfect for the holiday season.
No matter your hair type, there are plenty of styles waiting for you this festive season. With the right products and a little LOHY. magic, you’ll be turning heads at every party!
Why not make this festive season your most fabulous yet?!
