Here are some tips to keep every strand stunning from November til January.
Hairstyle Tips for Christmas and New Years Eve in Calgary
We can’t talk about great style until we talk about where it begins: at home, with the products you use and the TLC you give. After all, a salon stylist can only do so much – you can help by providing your hair with the nutrients it needs.
Cold weather pulls the moisture right out of the air, leaving your hair prone to breakage, damage, and dryness. Bring the balance back with proper shampoo and conditioner, with the right moisturizing treatment included. Also, if you’re trying to avoid over-washing, don’t forget about the joys of dry shampoo, which can extend your hairstyle’s presence for days. After a few weeks of constantly doing and redoing your hair, you’ll be grateful for the break.
As for how to do your hair, take inspiration from timeless holiday looks that never go out of style (pun definitely intended):
A head full of big curls.
A tidy braid (or two).
A sweeping updo.
A sleek and exquisite bun.
These are all great choices to go along with your holiday attire and accessories. Here at Rush Salon in south Calgary, we can help you find and perfect a look that will last through everything December brings – from a skate date at Olympic Plaza to that perfect moment by the fire at the Zoolights.
