FESTIVE HAIR STYLE
BY ANDREW COLLINGE
From desk to dancefloor, transforming your hair doesn’t have to be complicated and with a few
simple adjustments you can create a look perfect for the after work office party!
LOW CHIGNON
Neck-grazing chignons took over the catwalk
at recent fashion weeks and have become the
perfect accompaniment to this season’s striking
beauty trends. Sweeping hair into a tight sleek
bun is an easy way to get rid of unwanted frizz
that may have occurred after a full day in the
office. Add texture to a slicked-back look by
braiding the ponytail before wrapping it into a
bun and pair with a bold dark lipstick, striking
metallic eye makeup or statement earrings to
give this look the perfect party feel.
ACCESSORISE
Add a touch of sparkle to your hairstyle this
Christmas by dressing up your look with chic
accessories. Autumn / Winter catwalks saw an
array of bejewelled brooches, chains and floral
hair pieces teamed with soft, casual hairstyles
and Rodarte and Alexander McQueen were just
two of the designers that teamed heavily tousled
looks with contrasting glamorous hairpieces.
The simple addition of a few accessories can
transform any daytime style into a party-ready
look for evening.
FINGER WAVES
For those with more time to spare, finger waves
may be an option to explore this Christmas,
so why not pop into the salon after work. This
vintage 1920’s style has had a fair share of
exposure at Autumn Winter fashion weeks and
there are a number of ways to wear the look. A
soft finger wave fringe with deep side parting
works particularly well with this season’s trendy
low ponytail or chignon.
