HOLIDAY HAIR
HOW TO
CELEBRITY HAIR STYLIST KELLY ARAUJO BREAKS DOWN THE TOP LOOKS OF THE SEASON AND SHARES TIPS FOR HOW TO ACHIEVE THEM.
When it comes to holiday hair, this season is all about texture, deep parts and shiny locks. This winter, we’re seeing multiple textures live harmo- niously together, says celebrity hair stylist Kelly Araujo. Smoother roots morph into wavy ends, while windswept texture gently pulls back into a dreamy chignon for effortlessly glamorous hair. “High-shine ponytails seemed to dominate the run- ways this season and of course the prolific braid,
is still going strong,” says Araujo. Here are her favourite trends of the season and how to achieve them.
DEEP SIDE PART, NATURAL WAVES
STEP 1: Blow-dry hair or let your hair air dry. Either way make sure your hair is 100% dry. STEP 2: Section hair into four separate sections. At this point, part your hair to the desired deep side part.
“If you have fine hair, go ahead and divide your hair into two sections instead of the four,” says Araujo.
STEP 3: Begin braiding your first section, starting about midway down the hair. You want the braid to be fairly loose; this will prevent the hair from creasing.
“When you get to the bottom, secure with a hair tie but refrain from using any elastic bands so it doesn’t melt because we are using heat to set the waves,” says Araujo.
STEP 4: Take your flat iron and tap it down the 32 Real Style Holiday 2018
braided sections until you can feel the braids heat- ing up. Continue through the section, tapping and compressing with the iron to ensure the entire braided section is heated. Repeat on all four braid- ed sections.
STEP 5: Let braids cool and set for 10 to 15 min- utes.
STEP 6: Gently pull apart braids. Once they are all out, use a salt or texture spray to add more vol- ume and gritty texture. Shake it out.
STEP 7: Tuck behind ears and set with finishing spray. If you want to feel more secure, use a single bobby pin.
“Remember to keep it soft around the face because that’s what makes this look so glamorous!” says Araujo.
Complete the look with a simple winged eyeliner and a bronzed complexion.
