Get the Look | Festive Hair with Sabrina Dijkman

Minimal styling that evokes elegance, this is the perfect desk-to-dancefloor hair look for Christmas party-ready clients this season.

Get the Look:

1. Prep the hair with a texture spray or dry shampoo like ALTERNA My Hair. My Canvas. Another Day Dry Shampoo.
2. Spritz the hair with ALTERNA Caviar Anti-Aging Professional Styling Perfect Iron Spray, before lightly tousling with a heated styling iron or curling tong to give added texture, volume and movement.
3. Bring the hair to the back of the head into a loose ponytail and start to create your twist. Pin sections of the hair to create a beautiful shape, whilst also leaving some pieces hanging out to show off the loose curls underneath. This will give the style a softer finish.
4. Once you have created your desired twist shape, securing sections with hair pins, spray some ALTERNA Caviar Anti-Aging Professional Styling Perfect Texture Spray through the hair, lightly pulling to give the style a more natural, relaxed appearance. Pay particular attention to the top of the hairstyle to create added volume and height.
5. Finish by adding in some gold or bejeweled clips for added glamour, before finally spritzing through some ALTERNA My Hair. My Canvas. City Slay Shielding Hairspray for a light hold and added shine, as well as humidity protection.

Soft, romantic, braided updos aren’t just for brides – they’re perfect for the festive party season too!

Get the Look:

1. Start by creating a base using the ALTERNA Caviar Multiplying Volume Styling Mist.
2. Next, create three little ponytails at the back, securing each at the top with a hair elastic. Then flip each ponytail through the top of the head to create a more dimensional style.
3. Leaving two sections of hair out at the sides, take the remainder of the hair at the back and create a ponytail. Then twist this into a bun.
4. Wrap the side sections of hair around the bun to secure it in place, leaving out some of the ends of the hair to create a more natural, effortless look.
5. Finally, mist ALTERNA Caviar Anti-Aging Professional Styling Perfect Texture Spray through the hair to give added texture and a further relaxed finish.
6. Remember – clients can add a bejeweled clip or hairband to add an extra touch of festive sparkle to their look.

90s inspired looks have made a huge comeback this year, and it looks like the big, bouncy, fluffy blowout is here to stay for the party season!

Get the Look:

1. Start by washing the hair with a high-quality, luxury shampoo and conditioner. I recommend the ALTERNA Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner.
2. Next, apply the Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture CC Cream all through the hair before blow-drying. Re-apply this once more to dry hair before curling.
3. Using a heated styling tong, work through the hair in sections to create curls, pinning these in place and allowing them to cool in order to create a fuller, bouncier curl.
4. After some time, remove the pins and brush the hair out gently, breaking up the curls for added softness and volume.
5. Finish with an ALTERNA Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture Intensive Ceramide Capsule to remove any frizz and provide the hair with even further shine.
