your Beauty Our duty

During the holidays and through the New Year, time seems to fly by…fast. Before you know it, you’ll forget to plan the perfect holiday ‘do for that important party (oh wait, is that tonight?) and (oops!) you promised to bring a festive dish to help the host. There’s no time for stress during the holiday season, so take a breather with this simple hair style and recipe from Celebrity Stylist, Tippi Shorter, and Pantene Celebrity Spokesperson, Padma Lakshmi, that will help you tress to impress.

FLIRTY, HOLIDAY BUN

“Here’s a quick, festive style for a night out. Play around with the look and see what works best for you. You can always try a deep side part, or pull hair straight back for more lift on top. You can also leave strands flowing in front for a more feminine, romantic touch. Have fun with this look, and happy holidays!”

1. Start your style with clean hair, blow dry with a paddle brush.
2. Once hair is dry, separate into two sections front and back from ear to ear.
3. Clip the front out of the way and secure the back into a low ponytail.
4. Unclip, and use a 1 inch curling iron to curl the top section of hair.
5. Add a little serum (like the Pantene Pro-V Smooth Serum) to your hands and run fingers through hair to separate the curls and add shine definition.
6. Gently pull the hair back toward the ponytail and secure with hairpins.
7. Wrap the hair under the ponytail to create a bun full of voluminous curls.
8. Finish with a light hold hairspray to hold the style and seal frizz.
