1. Effortless Waves for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is all about comfort, warmth, and a touch of elegance. Effortless waves embody this cozy vibe, offering a relaxed yet chic style that feels perfectly polished without being overdone. Whether you’re hosting a family dinner or enjoying a Friendsgiving, soft waves can elevate any outfit, from chunky sweaters to flowing autumn dresses.

How to Achieve the Look

• Start with Quality Products: Begin with a smooth shampoo and conditioner that hydrates and moisturizes: [Smooth Shampoo] and [Smooth Conditioner].
• Use a large curling iron or a wand to create loose, undone waves. Make sure to alternate the direction of the curls for a more natural look.
• Finish with a texturizing spray to enhance that effortless, lived-in feel.
• For added volume, consider using a root-lifting mousse before styling.
• Final Touch: Set your gorgeous waves with our favorite [Thick Dry Finishing Hairspray by Oribe] to ensure they last all day long.

 2. Sleek Low Bun for the Office Holiday Party

Office holiday parties are an excellent opportunity to showcase sophistication and elegance. A sleek low bun is a timeless style that works beautifully for any work-related event. This polished hairstyle not only keeps your hair off your face but also highlights your best features, making it easy to pair with a bold red lip or statement earrings.

How to Create This Classic Look

• Prep Your Hair: Start with straightened hair, using a smooth shampoo and conditioner to achieve that sleek effect: [Smooth Shampoo] and [Smooth Conditioner].
• Gather your hair low at the nape of your neck, securing it with a hair tie and bobby pins for a secure hold.
• Use a fine-tooth comb to smooth any flyaways and finish with a high-shine hairspray for a glossy, sophisticated finish.
• Consider adding a decorative hairpin or clip for an extra touch of glamour.
• Final Touch: Use the [Thick Dry Finishing Hairspray by Oribe] to keep the look polished and in place throughout the evening.

3. Big Bows for Christmas Parties

Christmas parties are all about fun, festive vibes, and a playful touch. What better way to express this than by adorning your hairstyle with a big bow? Whether you choose a half-up, half-down style or a simple ponytail, an oversized bow can instantly elevate your look, bringing a whimsical yet elegant touch to your holiday ensemble.

Choosing the Right Bow

• Opt for bows made from festive fabrics like velvet or satin for added texture and luxury.
• Select colors that pop—think deep reds, emerald greens, or metallics that reflect the joyful spirit of the season.
• You can also customize the size of the bow to match your personality—go big for a bold statement or slightly smaller for a more subtle look.
• Final Touch: Finish the hairstyle with a light mist of the [Thick Dry Finishing Hairspray by Oribe] to keep the bow and your style in place while you celebrate.

4. 70s-Inspired Curtain Bangs and Flippy Ends for New Year’s Eve

As we ring in the New Year, why not pay homage to the fabulous 70s? Curtain bangs paired with flippy ends create a glamorous look perfect for celebrating new beginnings. This style combines retro chic with a modern twist, allowing you to shine on a night filled with excitement and joy.

How to Achieve This Trendy Look

• Foundation Matters: Blow-dry your bangs with a round brush to create that iconic swoop, starting with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner for added body: [Volumizing Shampoo] and [Volumizing Conditioner].
• Use a curling iron to flip the ends of your hair outward, adding movement and bounce.
• For a touch of shine and to keep everything in place, finish with a lightweight hairspray.
• Consider adding a sparkly hair accessory to complete your New Year’s look.
