The holiday season is definitely a wonderful time of the year, but no one really talks about how stressful it can also be! Many of the most joyful moments often have hours of stress that lead up to it. That stress can come from trying to cook a meal for twenty in two hours, choosing the perfect holiday dress that’s both appropriate for dinner with your in-laws and sexy for your partner, and don’t even get us started on the stress of holiday shopping for everyone you’ve ever met!
Prepping for the holidays is a secretly time-consuming deal, and sometimes things slip through the cracks, like our hair. You might have found yourself spending three hours picking the perfect outfit, but once you’re done, you realize you only have fifteen minutes to do your hair! Don’t stress (even more than you already have), we’ve curated time-efficient holiday hair tips that are just as show-stopping as a one-hour hair routine!
Keep Your Home Warm, Not Hot
Nobody loves cold toes or frozen fingers, but it’s important that you don’t overdo it with the heater this winter. Avoid temperature shocking your hair when you go in and out of the house. The heat can dry out your hair and even lead to irritation. If you’re not always in control of the thermostat at your home, add Redken All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner to help keep your hair moisturized in the artificial heat. With your hair moisturized, it’s easy to throw it up in a loose ponytail, or add a little texturizing spray and go.
Invest in a Protective Style
Whether you’re doing it yourself or going into the salon to have them professionally done, protective styles are going to be your best friend this winter. If you commit to the multi-hour session to get box braids or twists, you’ll be saving yourself hours of time doing your hair over the next 4-6 weeks. Not only are you protecting your natural hair, but you’ve also got a style that takes seconds to do, making it the perfect holiday hair for those with busy schedules! Keep your style fresh by using Redken’s Deep Clean Dry Shampoo before stepping out!
Don’t Panic, Accessorize!
What better way to save time on your hair during the holidays, than by not really doing your hair? We’re serious (sort of). When you literally only have two minutes to do your hair before you have to get to your holiday event, you know it’s time to turn to your trusty hair accessory. If you’re going to be outside, a classic and cute beanie ought to do the trick! Running late for your holidate? Run some of KEVIN.MURPHY’s UN.DRESSED fibre paste through your hair and put on a sparkly headband! You can even throw your hair up in a messy top bun and secure it with a velvet scrunchie when you’re really in a pinch. A good accessory can really go a long way this holiday season, so be sure to invest in a couple of good ones!
