The secret to gorgeous party-perfect hair

(05/10/2009)

Come late December, the winter sky isn’t the only thing that gets dull and it’s not surprising that manes malfunction under gruelling styling regimes, low humidity, bitter winds and central heating - but winter doesn't have to mean disastrous 'dos’! This Christmas, Cyvilian Hair Store unveils the secret to gorgeous, party-perfect hair anytime, anywhere.

Every girl wants to look glamorous during the festive season but with plummeting temperatures and harsh weather conditions, taming dried and damaged locks can be a struggle.

First things first, stressed, thirsty tresses need moisture so try Bonacure Moisture Kick Shampoo and Conditioner for much needed nutrition. These products provide the perfect cleansing solution for dry/sensitised hair, giving it all the moisture it requires to look and feel great.

One major myth is that the more conditioner you use the better the hair will feel. It’s not true - only the product that comes into contact with the hair will have an effect - plastering it on an inch thick is just costing you money! A good tip is to put a little conditioner on a section of hair, then smooth it along the hair shaft from roots to ends with your thumb and forefinger.

Once hair is successfully preened and restored to its natural, healthy, shiny condition its time to style those luscious locks. A glam girl knows that dramatic curls will create a head-turning look fit for the red carpet whether she’s going to the office Christmas party or a glitzy NYE bash.

To fix those flirty and feminine, tumbling curls in place all night long try Tigi Catwalk Curls Rock Booster. Simply apply to wet hair to give curls a tighter more defined shape, shine and definition. And for any last minute party invitations Tigi Catwalk Curls Rock Booster also works great as a second day re-styler to refresh and re-boost curls.

Another sure fire way to attract attention this party season and guarantee a mistletoe kiss is to style those tresses into a silky smooth, straight do. If you want to go straight and sleek, you can’t afford for it to misbehave, least of all at Christmas when your diary is no doubt bursting at the seams with exclusive invites to the most sophisticated soirees of the season! Try Straight Sexy Hair Power Straight Balm. This balm works well on all hair types, eliminates frizz and gives hair a weightless feel. To get the best results, apply to towel dried hair and distribute evenly with a comb before drying.

A popular myth is the harder you grip the hair in the straighteners, and the slower you go, the straighter it gets. It’s not true; a good straightener is designed to make the hair straight with the use of heat, not force. Simply take small sections of hair and run over lightly with the straighteners for a perfect result – this will also avoid those horrible ridge marks which will eventually break the hair!

The final tip from Cyvilian and the most important one of all is don’t forget to give those lovely locks some well deserved TLC when heating and styling! Apply Tigi Catwalk Fashionista Smooth and Shine to wet hair before drying, straightening or curling to protect it from heat damage, and strengthen and control overworked hair.

Now the secrets are in the open, you don’t have to spend a fortune on product this season. Known as the ‘recessionista’s paradise’, Cyvilian Hairstore has hundreds of top brands and products to choose from at consistently low prices, meaning looking good this Christmas needn’t cost the earth!
