Kick off this season with an easy-upkeep color service! A color melt, bronding, ombre or balayage are all color services that can keep your hair looking holiday party-ready from Thanksgiving to New Year’s. All these services are also great options to correct that color that you are just not feeling too fond of anymore. After your color service is complete, there are a few simple tips to get that style vibrant, fresh and ready to go. First, start keeping a “trim schedule”: Get a trim at your holiday color appointment and then schedule one 4-6 weeks out, to keep that color fresh and hair healthy. Next, maintain your hair color and health during those cold months with a bi-weekly conditioning treatment. Moroccanoil provides the perfect hydrating mask to keep your hair always looking its best. Try to wash your hair as little as possible throughout the week. (Yes, that may sound gross, but trust us on this one.) Overwashing your hair, especially in the dry winter months, will cause it to dry out more quickly, causing a ripple effect, with you needing to get color and trims more frequently. Also, try using as little hot water on your hair as possible. Cold and warm water gives hair a shine
and doesn’t strip hair color. It also closes your pores, to keep that moisture we’re striving for locked in. And lastly, finish your hair with a light styling spray, finisher or hairspray, to keep the frizz out and the style in. Once you have your hair all ready to go, now it’s time to figure out that holiday party hairstyle you want to go for, and this year, it’s all about the accessories. Headbands and clips are the go-to this year for that easy and fashionable style. Throw in some easy curls or a cute bun and a headband or clip and you’re on your way. The hair industry is always evolving and changing, but with these healthy hair tips, colors, and tricks, you’ll be set for this year’s major trends and ready for that holiday party! M
