how to get groovy holiday party hair looks

With the weather changing and the holidays approaching, we can’t help but start getting into the spirit (we know, we know, it’s only October). In our opinion, it’s never too early to start planning holiday festivities—especially since it’s likely the first year people are really coming together once again to celebrate! We have three words for you: holiday hair looks.

Nothing screams ‘party on’ like the decade of disco. That’s why we’ve created three ´70s-inspired hair looks that are perfect for any party occasion. Whether you’re jivin’ on the dance floor, gettin’ your groove on at the company party, or boogieing down on New Year’s, these looks are a surefire way to get you disco-ready before you can say ‘psychedelic.’

Get a feathered finish with this ´70s-inspired style! You’ll need the autopilot curler, un.done, and fluxus touchable hairspray.

Products used:

• 1.25” autopilot 3-in-1 rotating curling iron: This ceramic barrel allows you to make smooth, silky curls or waves.
• un.done volume and matte texture spray: A dry finishing spray that adds instant volume and perfectly-imperfect texture.
• fluxus touchable hairspray: A flexible working hairspray for stay-all-day style that you’ll still be able to run your fingers through.

Step-by-step:

• Section hair and spray each section with fluxus hairspray before curling.

• Spray with undone texture spray and shake to create that voluminous ‘oomph.’
