Give Yourself A Bit Of Flair This Festive Season

Mariah Carey is almost completely defrosted, which means Christmas parties are around the corner.

While the clothes, makeup and accessories are essential, your hairstyle can be a game-changer for a show-stopping look.

And what’s a job well done if it’s not done organically? Don’t ask us, we are 100% natural.

Why Organic Hairstyling?

Organic hair care isn’t just a trend; it’s a commitment to healthier, more sustainable beauty practices.

The rise of organic salons across the globe, especially in London, reflects a growing awareness of the impact traditional hair products have on our health and the environment.

Support products that are free from harsh chemicals, parabens, and synthetic fragrances.

Natural Colour Works stylists advocate for this commitment: It’s all about you and our world.

Essential Tools And Products

Achieving salon-quality results at home requires the right foundations.

We suggest investing in eco-friendly styling tools that not only get the job done but also contribute to a greener planet.

If you’re looking for heat styling tools like hairdryers and straighteners, it’s very difficult to find completely green ones, as they’ll either be energy-saving or made from recycled materials.

However, if you’re looking for heatless curls or a blowout, rollers and hair wrapping are on the comeback, and your hair can look stunning!

For products, it’s best to do your research if you want to buy anything new.

Some brands tend to green-wash their products to increase sales under the guise of “natural” and “organic”. So watch out for those.

And if you’re looking for a pop of colour this Christmas, come in for a consultation or DIY it with our beautiful range of organic hair dyes.

Christmas Party Hairstyles And How To Master Them

Vintage Hollywood Waves

1. Smooth and Part: Start with straightened hair and create a deep side part.

2. Curling Technique: Use a large-barrel curling iron to create classic, glamorous waves. Curl sections away from your face.

3. Brush and Shape: Once the curls cool, gently brush through them to create soft waves. Shape the waves with your fingers for that vintage Hollywood allure.

4. Side-Swept Elegance: Sweep one side of your hair behind your ear and secure it with a decorative pin for an added touch of elegance.

Nutcracker Bun

1. High Bun: Create a high, sleek bun at the crown of your head.
2. Nutcracker Hat Accessory: Place a miniature nutcracker hat or headband atop the bun for a whimsical touch.
3. Ballet Slipper Pins: Use small ballet slipper-shaped hairpins to secure loose strands around the bun.
4. Gilded Spritz: Give your bun a hint of gilded glamour by spritzing it with a gold shimmer hairspray.
5. Red Ribbon Wrap: Wrap a red ribbon around the base of the bun, tying it into a bow for added festive flair.

Messy Chignon with Hair Wrap

1. Create Loose Waves: Begin by curling your hair to achieve loose, beachy waves.
2. Gather Your Hair: Pull your hair back into a low, messy bun, leaving a few strands loose around your face.
3. Twist and Wrap: Twist sections of the bun and wrap them around the base to create a textured, messy chignon.
4. Hair Wrap: Take a small section of hair from the ponytail, wrap it around the base of the bun, and secure with a pin.
5. Tousle for Effortlessness: Gently tousle the strands around your face and the bun for an effortlessly chic finish.

Candy Cane Curls

1. Peppermint Twist Curls: Curl your hair using a wand or iron, focusing on creating tight, defined curls.
2. Alternating Colours: Using temporary hair colour sprays or washable hair chalk, alternate red and white colours throughout the curls for a candy cane effect.
3. Accessorise with a Bow: Tie a festive bow at the base of your ponytail or secure it at the top of your head for an extra touch of holiday cheer.

Sleek Updo

1. Prep and Part: Start with clean, straightened hair. Create a deep side part for added elegance.
2. Gather Your Hair: Pull your hair back into a sleek ponytail at the nape of your neck and secure it with an elastic.
3. Twist and Pin: Twist the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic, forming a bun. Secure the bun in place with bobby pins.
4. Polish the Look: Smooth any flyaways or stray strands with a small amount of styling gel or hairspray for a sophisticated finish.
5. Glow: This style really helps your makeup and outfit stand out!

Christmas Tree Braid

1. High Ponytail: Gather your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with an elastic.
2. Braid the Ponytail: Braid the ponytail, creating a long, thick braid resembling a Christmas tree trunk.
3. Bobby Pin Decorations: Use small, colourful bobby pins or hairpins as "ornaments" by placing them along the length of the braid.
4. Topper Accessory: Attach a star or tree topper accessory at the top of the braid, securing it with pins.
