It’s that time of year for advent calendars, loungewear, and loads of festive socialising. With funds running thin from present-buying (wine-buying), reinventing your hair is the easiest trick for refreshing an outfit, so you can wear the same all-black get up for three parties straight. No judgement here, FYI – you thrifty thing.
From 40s style high-shine waves, to intricate braiding, the simplest hair shift keeps things looking interesting up top. An accessory will do the job too – and since 90s slides are proving popular at the moment, adding an extra something-something to your hair style is both ‘on trend’ and practical. Savvy.
A great blow dry will keep you going from one party to the next (if they’re within four days), while a tousled-style up do just gets better with sleep – the more dishevelled, the better.
If you can’t think up a style – no problem – consider this your catalogue. Choose a look, and take it to the salon. Easy.
