It's that time of year! Party, party, party! You've spent a week looking for the right dress, a fortune on a killer pair of heels, bought enough makeup to keep Cirque du Soleil stocked for a year, and now the big day is here. The moment you've been dreading. What to do with your hair??? You kept meaning to look for pictures. You've seen a million of them in magazines-Make a Splash with our Great Holiday Looks! Look like a Million Dollars in just Minutes! 5 Steps to Perfect Holiday Hair!
If only you'd saved them! Where are they now??? It's the day of and you have zero ideas. Would it really look so bad to just throw a scarf over your head? The dress is stunning-could it stun them enough that they just didn't look above your neck? AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!
It's time for a desperate, last minute call to your fairy godstylist! She'll know what to do. She has the magic! It's time to call in the big guns and get this party started!
Party hair is your hair's chance to really strut its stuff-show the world just how fabulous it is. Even if it isn't. With a little pixie dust and the wave of our magic wands (or flat irons), we can make your hair look like it's going to the ball! Short hair can look long, thin hair can look thick, and everyday hair can look like it just met its fairy godmother. Cinderella, honey, your carriage awaits!
So, first step-call your stylist. Call as early as possible, and get in as early in the day as you can so she can take the time to really pull out all the stops. Second step-remember to wear a top that buttons or zips-you don't want to ruin the magic by trying to pull a t-shirt off over your hair! Third step-look around and find accessories that you can take with you that your stylist can use in your 'do-barretts, combs, headbands, obviously. But also earrings, necklaces, pins-they can be transformed into beautiful embellishments for your party hair! So think outside the box-great aunt Matilda's vintage costume jewelry that's been languishing in your drawer could be just the thing to make your 'do stunning tonight!
When you do arrive for your appointment, be sure to describe your dress and jewelry to your stylist. If your dress has a dramatic low back, she'll want to style your hair completely up off your neck to show that off. If you're wearing a gorgeous pair of earrings, she'll want to make sure your hair doesn't compete for attention on the sides. Is your dress retro? Vampy? Elegant? She'll want to give you a style that pulls the whole look together. Also, make sure to tell your stylist if anything is uncomfortable-if your hair is pulling so tightly your eyebrows are arching or if a bobby pin is drawing blood, tell her! You won't be having a great time if your hair is giving you a headache half way through the evening. And after she has the 'do done, give your head a shake. Does anything feel loose? Better to check that now than have your updo coming down before you're ready for it to. Lastly, keep your 'do dry until the party! Even a steamy bathroom can cause it to wilt or frizz before your big night.
So, my dear, you are ready for the ball! You look stunning from your perfectly coiffed head to your manicured little piggies. Have a wonderful evening, and remember to say a quiet thank you to your fairy godstylist-she's only a wish away!
