From Diwali to Christmas and upcoming wedding celebrations, the season of dazzling celebrations is upon us. It’s a time of plenty of joy, laughter, and social gatherings. Nothing complements a festive look like beautiful, well-groomed hair. As Yianni Tsapatori, creative director of Godrej Professional, rightly puts it, “Festive preparations are never completely complete without special hair care and styling” With back-to-back festivities coming up; It is essential to keep your hair in its best condition so that you can shine at any event.
Here are Yianni’s tips for keeping your hair healthy, vibrant, and always ready to celebrate.
• Prepare with deep conditioning: Before the festivities begin, pamper your hair with a deep conditioning treatment. This restores moisture lost due to styling, heat, and environmental factors. Choose a conditioner rich in natural oils like argan or coconut. This deeply nourishes and moisturizes your hair, leaving it soft and shiny.
• Stay hydrated inside and out: The Christmas season, when we often eat big meals late into the night, can leave our hair feeling dry. Keep your hair hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using moisturizing hair products. Look for shampoos and conditioners with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin to keep your hair shiny.
• Get a festive color makeover: Refresh your look with a new hair color that embodies the festive spirit. Consider vibrant yet timeless shades that will keep your hair glowing throughout the seasons. For example, the Surreal collection offers the perfect shades to add a festive touch to your style.
• Avoid over-washing: With a packed social calendar, it’s tempting to wash your hair every day to keep it fresh. However, washing your hair too much can strip your hair of essential oils, causing dryness. Instead, use dry shampoo between washes to maintain volume and freshness without sacrificing moisture.
• Choose the perfect accessories for your celebration: Elevate your look with chic accessories like hairpins, headbands, clips, and more to add some flair. Be sure to choose options that are gentle on your hair, such as those covered in soft fabrics that won’t damage or stress your hair.
• Take care of your scalp: Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp. Incorporate a soothing scalp massage into your daily routine to increase blood circulation and promote hair growth. Using nourishing scalp treatments and oils can help keep your scalp happy and your hair strong.
No matter your hair type or style, these expert tips will help you up your hair care and styling game this holiday season. By incorporating these simple yet effective habits into your daily routine, you can ensure that your hair stays gorgeous and healthy no matter how many celebrations you attend. Remember that beautiful hair starts with consistent care. Let your hair shine and get ready to enjoy the festival with confidence.
