It's always fun to experiment and alternate the look of you hair and what better excuse that the party season for trying something different?
If it's specifically a Christmas celebration you'd like ideas for everyone, from the most intricate creations to simple, no-fuss styling chignon glammed up with a pretty accessory! 

Curls and Waves

Sexy curls and waves are undoubtedly as great party look, they are versatile and sassy and can be personalized and adapted to suit almost any hair type or length.
Simply take section of hair, place between the plates of a narrow flat iron and turn the appliance 180 degrees before running down the hair, curling around in the same way as a piece of ribbon.
For more defined curls, use rollers or tongs small to medium size sections of hair and glam up with glitzy clips and accessories. Recommend hair spray for curly hair is SPICE NEO Serum Mist Curl Deco

Pump up the volume!

If you thought the oversized clutch was the accessory of the season, think again. It's the big bouffant styles rocking the red carpet and catwalk that are making a big impact on the party circuit!
Take a large section of hair from the back of the crown, gently back-comb the roots, spritzing with hairspray. Once you have the right body, smooth over the back-combed area.

Accessorize! Bows, clips, headbands - accessories add interest to a hairstyle. Don't be dragged into following accessory fads, though. Quirky hair adornments may look great on the catwalk, but they may not suit you! So keep it simple and subtle and test accessories out with different outfits. On shorter hair - remember not to let your 'detail' take over your look; it should only be a feature of your style. If you decide to use accessories, make sure you keep them subtle and avoid over-fussy curls.

 

How to Create Soft, Loose Waves (Not the Beachy Look)

Look at this unique spray. So lovely!

Beachy waves are out, as are shiny perfect curls. Instead, loose, sexy curls are in. Find out how to get them with these step-by-step instructions.

1. Prep hair with a styling spray (I love Peace Chocolate Spray, which works wonders on curly and wavy style).
2. Part hair down the center.
3. Blow dry hair, scrunching hair as you go. If you have curly hair, don't scrunch, instead dry straight with a paddle brush.
4. When hair is about 90 percent dry, separate hair as you would to create two pigtails. Secure pigtails with pony tail holders.
5. Take one side and twist hair in one direction. Hair will naturally twist itself into a bun. Secure at ear level with a ponytail holder. You can keep hair in place with bobby pins.
6. Repeat on the other side, so you have two buns at ear level.
7. Blast the buns and your whole head with the dryer for about 5-10 minutes or until hair seems dry.
8. Leave hair in buns for 10-20 minutes to set. Just before you leave, take hair out of buns and finger comb curls. (Do not brush out). You can apply a SPICE NEO Natural Cream as well to separate the waves and keep them from looking "too perfect."
9. Spritz hairspray and you're done!
