Hot Party Hair

Need some strand inspiration for all your holiday happenings? Take a cue from these on-the-scene celebs and work a hairstyle that’s big on drama but insanely simple to pull off.


 Molly Sims's Showy Side Braids
Part your hair and create a thin French braid using the front pieces on either side, stopping at the tips of your ears. Tame frizz in the front with hairspray.


Carmen Electra's Half Up and Hot 'Do
Run mousse through damp strands, then scrunch. Hit random pieces with a curling iron, and pull the top section back at ear level. Smooth down flyaways with hairspray.


 Mila Kunis's Undone Updo
Create beachy curls by wrapping hair in a figure 8 around your iron while holding it vertically. Do a low, loose bun and push out some pieces in the front.


 Hayden Panettiere's Textured Bun
Blow-dry hair with a diffuser to bring out your natural waves or create spirals with a curling iron. Use your fingers to rake your hair back into a mid-level bun.


 Nicole Richie's Bombshell Pony
Tease hair around the crown of your head, then form everything into a pouf. Gather strands into a low ponytail and use a flatiron to smooth your bangs or face-framing pieces off to the side.


Jennifer Hudson's Sexy Short Cut
Create a deep side-part by lining it up with eyebrow arch, then flat-iron sections of hair, flipping the ends out slightly. Run styling cream over the ends for shine and hold.


 Anne Hathaway's Tousled Pin-Up
Use a large-barreled curling iron on every other piece of hair to create haphazard waves. Coat your palms with styling cream before twisting your ends, then pull the top section back.


Eva Mendes's Sultry Sweep
Tease the hair at the crown, then make like you're doing a pony but only pull hair halfway through the elastic. Let some strands slip out randomly so they frame your face in a sexy way.


Blake Lively's Glossy Waves
Post blowout, curl your hair with a large-barrel iron, then run a brush through the spirals. Finish with a mist of shine spray on your ends.

The 6 Most-Requested Long Hairstyles

Get ready to let your hair down: No matter what your face shape and hair texture, one of these flowing celebrity cuts will work for you.


 LONG, BLUNT LAYERS

"Sofia Vergara's layers start at the collarbone and are cut bluntly and at random, rather than blended, which gives the illusion of thicker hair," Maciques says. The cut suits round and heart-shaped faces best, and it's ideal for straight or wavy textures, since tight curls require too much maintenance.

ALLURE TIP: When adding layers in front, women with round faces shouldn't go shorter than the chin; those with elongated faces can go shorter or add bangs.


LONG, CHOPPY LAYERS

Minka Kelly's layers are also long, but there are more of them and they are less chunky than Vergara's, starting higher up and going from the chin down. "Minka's cut has more layers that are chopped into the bottom for lightness, which she can get away with because her hair is thick," says Maciques.


 CURLY

"Since Beyoncé's hair is naturally curly, her hair is actually several inches longer than it appears," says Maciques. Her layers are still long and minimal, cut about two or three inches from the ends and thinned at the bottom to avoid a poufy cloud of hair. This cut is best for naturally curly or wavy hair; an iron helps smooth any frizz.


ANGLED

"Emma Roberts's short, evenly blended layers are angled down so they become seamless," Maciques says. "It's the perfect long cut for fine hair, because it gives body and movement without looking straggly." A side part and jaw-length layers in front help shorten her oval face well, but the cut also flatters just about anyone.

ALLURE TIP: If your hair is fine, don't go more than two inches below the collarbone, and avoid too many layers so the ends don't get stringy.


CLASSIC

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, might be royalty, but her cut is quite common. "This style is all one length that's been curled," says hairstylist Juan Carlos Maciques of the Rita Hazan Salon in New York City. The cut calls for thick, dense hair (otherwise the ends can look stringy) and works on pretty much all face shapes, except for long ones, which it can elongate even more. To create the big curls at the bottom, use a two-inch curling iron to clamp down on the ends of the hair, then roll it up, holding the iron horizontally.

ALLURE TIP: Long hair is prone to split ends. Weekly masks and trims every two months will help.


WITH BANGS

Adding bangs helps soften or shorten square, oval, elongated faces, as is the case with Olivia Wilde, who also incorporates long layers that start at her collarbone. Avoid too-blunt bangs; cut into them so they fall softly at your forehead. Your hair can be thick or thin, but unless it's naturally straight, you'll become a slave to styling.

Christmas party hairstyles for 2012


Rock the party this Christmas with one of our on-trend, easy to wear hairstyles.

The low slung bun



'The chignon is a huge trend for the party season,' says Bree Davie, Artistic Director and Salon Manager of Trevor Sorbie, Hampstead. 'The neat but modern shape is pure elegance, and works beautifully with smoky eyes for evening drama.'

Blow-dry hair smooth, spraying Trevor Sorbie Beautifully Straightened Protect, Flatten and Shine Spray, £5.10, through the lengths. Part hair into a sleek side parting and separate the section, clipping it away. Brush the back section into a low ponytail, and secure with a hair elastic.

Twist the ponytail, then coil it back around itself to form a bun, pinning securely with bobby pins. Take a separated side section and sweep it around the bun, securing in place with pins. Keep the front fluid but neat. Spray with Trevor Sorbie Beautifully Moisturised Moisture Barrier Hairspray, £5.10, for hold without heaviness.


The mistress pony




Headmasters Pro Artistic Team explain how to achieve this sexy, high ponytail which will work perfectly with little black dresses and minimal tailoring:

Prep hair by blending L’Oreal Professionnel tecni art Volume Riche, £12.35 (0800 072 6699) and L’Oreal Professionnel tecni art Pli, £12.35, to add volume and texture into the roots. Blow-dry smooth using a Mason Pearson brush.

To create a sleek texture to the base, apply L’Oreal Professionnel tecni art Natural Liss, £12.35, from hairline to crown. Position the ponytail tight on top of the head. Once secure, wrap leather binding around the base of the ponytail, as seen at the Ungaro A/W 2011 runway show, for a sexy, strong silhouette.

Swept away


Heidi Klum's new shorter style definitely gets our vote - it's fresh, modern and also a doddle to achieve. It can be hard to find dressy styles for shorter hair lengths, but we think this one is party perfection!



 The classic curl


Sexy and seductive, this has got to be long hair’s finest moment. Wellaflex Silvikrin and Shockwaves Style Director, Michael Douglas,explains how to get the look:

Apply Shockwaves Volume Mousse, £2.49, to damp hair and blow-dry using a large, round bristle brush. For maximum root lift do this with the head upside down.

Once hair is dry, use large barrel tongs to curl the hair; take 4cm sections and wrap backwards around the tongs. Once you have done this to your whole head, spritz with Wellaflex Silvikrin Flexible Hold Hairspray, £1.99.

Tease each section with your fingers to separate the curls and finish with a spritz of hairspray to secure in place.

 The party pin-up


With a cool retro feel that is so on-trend, this hair-up is flattering and glamorous. Get the look by following Headmasters’ Pro Artistic Team’s advice:

Spray L’Oreal Professionel tecni art Volume Architect, £11.60 (0800 072 6699) onto damp hair and finger- dry to create texture and body. Once dry, side or middle-part hair.

Take a large triangular section from ear to ear around the crown. Split into three sections and tease the roots using a pintail comb to create height. Pull hair together midway between the nape and crown, and secure with a pin.

Take all hair from behind the ear and twist together, repeat this on the other side and wrap the sections into a pleat shape and pin. To make this look bang on trend add a little lace: place it two inches deep along the hairline to create an Alice band shape and tie at the nape of the neck.

 The 70s swing


If you are looking for a twist on your straight, long locks, why not opt for a 70’s inspired style? HOB Salons International Creative Director, Akin Konizi explains how to get the look:

Smooth Alterna Hemp Straightening Balm, £17.25 (HOB Salons) through damp hair and comb through, placing hair in a centre parting or working with your fringe.

Blow-dry hair smooth using a paddle brush, until dry. Once complete, use ghd Gold Straightening Irons £125 (HOB Salons) to ensure hair is straight and sleek.

Focusing on the front section of the hair and starting at the mid-lengths, clamp the straightening irons together and slowly guide down the hair twisting upwards as you get to the ends, creating a subtle outward flick. Mist with Sebastian Shaper Fierce Hairspray, £15.95, (HOB Salons) to complete the look.

The hive



From Bardot to Winehouse, the beehive has always been statement hair – achieve it by following Headmasters’ Pro Artistic Team’s expert tips:

Prep hair by blending L’Oreal Professionnel tecni art Pli, £12.30 and L’Oreal Professionnel tecni art Volume Lift, £10.10 and massage into damp hair. Blow-dry hair upwards, pointing the nozzle towards the brush to create height.

Divide hair horizontally in two, backcomb the top section by section and the roots to create height. Lightly brush hair back towards the nape of the neck, creating a smooth but volumised surface.

Take all hair to one side and pin in the centre in a vertical line. Pin upwards to lock hair in place. Twist hair clockwise around your thumb into a knot and pin. Use hands to massage hair into place and spray with L’Oreal Professionnel tecni art Gloss Control, £10.10 for a silky finish.


 The glamour wave




This timeless style perfectly combines sleekness and curl; follow these steps by Paul Mitchell Senior Creative Stylist Sam Walters:

Prepare wet hair by applying Paul Mitchell Awapuhi HydroMist Blowout Spray, £17.95 (0845 659 0012) to the roots and Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Styling Treatment Oil, £24.95, through the ends for shine and hold. Dry hair in different directions to create movement while smoothing with a paddle brush. Make sure your hot rollers are switched on!

Starting at the top and working down, take a one inch deep by two inch wide section and bring the hair from underneath the roller and over. Secure with a pin, varying the size of roller to create natural movement.

Once rollers are in, mist with Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Finishing Spray, £16.95, and allow to cool. Take the rollers out and run your fingers through hair

The voluptuous bob



This sassy tousled bob is simple to achieve and works perfectly on mid-length styles. Wellaflex Silvikrin and Shockwaves Style Director, Michael Douglas, reveals how:

Apply Wellaflex Silvikrin Flexible Hold Hairspray, £1.99, to sections of hair, then wrap the sections round your fingers to create a roll and clip in place. This should be done loosely and with around eight sections of hair in total.

Leave hair like this for about 15 minutes to set the style. Remove all clips and ruffle through the sections using your fingers. Finish with a spritz of strong hold hairspray to hold the hair in place.

 The gin twist


This Grecian style overhead braid was created by Emma Rees, founder of The Blow Bar. 'This is a key look seen at various fashion shows and events in London,' says Emma.

Divide unwashed, long hair into three sections, then start braiding behind the ear and work up to the front of the head; a tight braid is neat, while a loose, messier braid gives a ‘boho’ effect.

Once the braid is complete, secure at the nape of the neck with pins. Finish with hairspray and add hair accessories as desired.

The vintage wave



40’s inspired glamour is so on-trend this season, so why not try a soft wave? HOB’s Akin Konizi explains how to get the look:

Begin with towel-dried hair and add a heavy side parting using a wide-toothed comb. Spray Wella Professionals Perfect Setting, £9.65 (HOB Salons), throughout and blow-dry hair smooth.

Section the hair, and beginning at the back of the head and at the root of a one-inch wide section, use straightening irons and rotate them down the hair to create a ringlet. Apply to the entire head.

Use a Mason Pearson brush through the curls to remove any flyaways and smooth the hair. Spray with Wella SP Perfect Hold, £15.50 (HOB Salons), to finish.
