Sexy Holiday Style for Any Hair Type – Part II

Sensual, loose curls are in this season. Why not make this holiday your sexiest? This style is a combination of sophisticated and casual, perfect for all your holiday galas. Think bed-head elegance. Regardless of hair type, you too can achieve sexy waves in just a few simple steps.

Start with a layered cut to add more depth and sexy volume. Have a professional stylist do this; otherwise hair will look uneven when twisted.

Because wavy hair naturally reflects less light than straight hair, it is important to keep your locks healthy to promote shine. Keep up a weekly deep-conditioning regiment with a treatment such as the ISH Ionic Rescue One-Minute Treatment, which contains pure jojoba crystals.

For hair that’s CURLY …

Start with clean, towel-dried hair. Apply a styling lotion like Back to Basic’s Style & Finish Texture Defining Lotion. The natural blend will sculpt style, while maintaining movement and shine. Next, braid hair and twist it on top of your head. Hold in place with clips for 15-20 minutes. After, blow-dry hair using an ionic model to preserve moisture and shine.

For hair that’s SHORT …

Slick hair back using a control crème, such as KMS Curlup Control Crème, which bundles hair into sexy curls while controlling frizz. Dry hair completely using a diffuser. Lightly run fingers through hair to create softer waves.

For hair that’s STRAIGHT …

Avoid any gels or heavy lotions. Instead use a mousse or foam, such as ISO Daily Foam, and scrunch into towel-dried hair with your head upside down. Use 5-7 butterfly clips to put up sections of hair into zigzags against your scalp. The idea is to pull hair in different directions, giving body to naturally straight hair. Diffuse-dry hair for 15-20 minutes. Release curls and scrunch hair once more. Do not run fingers through the hair, as it may cause curls to relax completely.
