My Holiday Hairstyle Guide

Posted on the 30 October 2014 by Genzelkisses

It just feels like yesterday when I last celebrated holidays and now the most awaited part of every year is drawing near again. I still can’t imagine that it has been almost a year already! And since holidays are being celebrated with different groups of people like our friends, family, and special someone, here’s my holiday hairstyle guide for you guys! I’ve been receiving Vitress hair solutions products lately from the brand and beauty boxes so I’ll be incorporating them in this post. It’s also my trusted hair product since high school! I’ll show you how you can use each variant for different hairstyles and hair concerns.


Simple Straight Hair for family gatherings or “Meet His Parents” kind of day

If I will pick people who go crazy every time I’ll try different haircuts or styles, it’s gonna be my family. They are used to simple styles, tone down colors, and natural makeup look.

Since I have short hair, making my hair straight is easy peasy. Vitress Instant Relax tamed the stubborn waves.

For makeup, I go for natural lips, pink blush and my go-to eye makeup.

I applied Vitress Instant Relax Cuticle Coat to tame and flatten stubborn waves of my hair. It has vita-relax technology and makes my hair look naturally straight. Just one full pump is enough for the entire hair. This product made my hair look more polished and straight without the use of straightening iron.


 Soft or Messy Beach Waves for office parties or night outs

I went back to short hair recently and I kinda regret it at first because it’s holiday season and I bought a couple of curling irons for me and my clients. I thought I won’t be able to achieve this look because my hair is now super short and I don’t want the goldilocks hairstyle (using a smaller curling iron) when my hair is above my shoulders, then I tried the 1-inch curling iron (a bigger one) that I have and it didn’t work!

What made me achieve this look? I used a three-barrel curling iron! And I so love the result! Let me know down in the comments if you want me to film a tutorial on this look! :)

I parted my front hair into three sections. My bangs (from temple to temple), then 1 inch each on the sides. Since my hair is curled, it’ll add volume. If you want more volume, you can tease the roots of your hair using a teasing brush.

Before I used my three-barrel curling iron, I apply this first on my hair, Vitress Heat Protect. You can also use this for the first hairstyle that I showed you before you apply Instant Relax serum for added protection against heat damage in case you will use a straightening iron to achieve a straight hair look. Vitress Heat Protect uses Thermo-Heat complex that protects the hair from harmful effects of curling, straightening, and blow-drying. It’s a must for me to use this every time I’m styling my hair with heated hair tools. Don’t wait until your hair is damaged before you take extra care of it.


 High / Mid Pony Tail for Barkada Reunions

I feel elegant and sophisticated with this look. For reunion, this is my recommend hairstyle to go for. It looks neat and simple plus you can pair it with a nice dangled earrings like the one I’m wearing in the photo. You can also wear this for formal events.

I suggest to curl your hair first just like I did for added texture. If you’re in hurry, you can just easily tease portions of your hair to add volume and texture. You also have the option for a smooth and clean look. Just brush your hair flat with a teasing brush (teasing brush makes the hair smooth and removes tangles on the surface).

I put my bangs up for a cleaner look, but if you have side-swept bangs you can also do that, it depends also on your facial shape. Side-swept bangs can make an illusion of smaller face and hide your forehead (which I do most of the time for go-to look because I have round face if you notice).

For this look, just used a trusted elastic band to hold my pony tail. I have short hair so I went for mid-pony tail instead. Go for high pony if you have longer hair. I also apply Vitress Hair Repair. It uses hydro-restore system that will help resist bad effects of chemicals used for hair treatments such as perming and coloring. This will help you achieve healthier, satin-smooth hair.

Here are the other hairstyling products that you can also use from Vitress plus hair care tips!

This is a Special Edition Solenn Hair Cuticle coat, designed and co-created with Solenn Heusaff. It helps tames curls and waves for smoother, shinier, and silkier hair. It also has powdery scent (chosen by Solenn herself) which I love love love!

Before all the variants, this is what I used to use for my hair ever since plus the cream form types in tubes.

How to use:
1. Can be applied to dry or damp hair (I prefer damp hair as it absorbs more and doesn’t make me feel greasy at the end of the day just like applying lotion to damp skin which is better).
2. Put a pea-sized amount (you can add more if you have longer hair), rub the palms together to provide heat, then apply on to the hair from roots to tips.
3. Finger-comb your hair to spread the product evenly.
4. You can apply and retouch depending on your hair condition for the day.
