The holiday season is upon us, and whether your calendar is full of soirées or you have a single small get-together planned, one thing is for certain: You don’t need to damage your hair to get the styles that you want!
We chatted with INALA’s Photoshoot Hairstylist, Jessica Portillo, to get the scoop on how to create beautiful hairstyles this holiday season while keeping your hair healthy and happy! Read on below for your ✨ holiday hair ✨ inspo.
High and tight ponytails have been having a moment over the last couple of years, with several celebrities (and our very own La La Anthony) flaunting the style both casually and on the red carpet. Ponytails are so versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and work for all hair types and textures, but don't count out the low ponytail when planning your holiday hair! Not only does it put less stress on the scalp, but with the right accessories and styling, it can look just as dressy as a high ponytail!
For our INALA Holiday photo shoot this year, Jessica decided to do a spin on the low ponytail, which is definitely not low on impact! With the help of Put Me Up, our new 100% mulberry silk oversized scrunchie and Triple Threat Tonic, this low ponytail gets a holiday party makeover just in time for your next party!
How To:
Jessica’s tips: “If you need this style to last all night, especially if you plan on dancing or being more active, you can use a smaller elastic first before putting the scrunching over the top. This will help make sure that the scrunchie doesn’t fall out of fine or soft hair. Of course, it’s always better to just use the silk on the hair to avoid breakage, so see what works best for you! ”
Add even more drama and flair to your low ponytail by adding another scrunchie at the bottom of the tail for a unique style! Follow all the steps above and then add the remaining steps below.
How To:
Best suited for textured and/or very thick strands, this style is a play on the everyday half-up look but incorporates two claw clips for a new fresh take on the style. Jessica wanted to play up the model’s natural hair texture with this look while making it look fresh and fun. She used our new holiday claw clips, Clip Me Up, and used two of them to not put as much stress on the hair as using one clip.
Jessica explained that when hair is this thick, using just one clip to pull up a large section of hair can cause strain on the strands (which is definitely what we are trying to avoid!) so by using two clips and forming two different sections, the hair still gets pulled back but in a stylish and healthy way!
How To:
This style works great for all hair types, but especially for fine to medium hair that is straight or wavy. This is because the style can give a little volume at the crown for the illusion of thicker and fuller hair. All you need for this style is a Clip Me Up and Triple Threat Tonic!
How To:
This style is truly a showstopper, but Jessica assured us that it’s really quite easy to do! For this look, you’ll need two Clip Me Up claw clips and a little bit of Triple Threat Tonic. Better yet - this fancy-looking style works even better on slightly dirty hair, so if you’re on day 2 hair or longer, give this style a try!
How To:
As you can tell, the all-star of these looks is the Triple Threat Tonic. Because it is so lightweight and versatile for all hair types, this is a personal favorite of Jessica’s to create any hairstyle on set. When describing what she liked about using Triple Threat Tonic for this look, she said, “I honestly really love it because it has a weightless feeling so it doesn’t make the styles too oily but it gives them just the right amount of shine.”
