Salon Insider: ‘Tis the Season for Party Hair!

The holidays are almost upon us and it’s time to get glamorous!  Now through march, we at Neil George salon get into party/award season hair mode, and it’s a non-stop mission of pretty party hair. I have been looking around for great hair accessories, and found a few that I love.

Jennifer Behr has terrific headbands, particularly her Overlapping Crystal Twist (Natalie Portman wore it on Letterman). Juicy Couture also makes adorable headbands (check them out here on shopstyle.com, where they have a feather headband by Oak that’s simple but chic.) And Deepa Gurrani makes beautiful beaded teardrop headbands that you can find on netaporter.com.

Styling the hair gets a bit more involved this time of the year.  When all of us have to go straight from work to events and Christmas parties, I find dry shampoo and hairspray are must haves to keep you looking (and smelling!) fresh. (We just came out with Neil George Refresh dry shampoo, which takes but a minute to apply, and instantly freshens the roots and gives great volume.)  Finish with a pretty headband or clip to dress up from day to night and a spray of hairspray to hold everything in place.

By the way, if you can take one tool with you then it has to be the HAI straightening iron, which will add shine to locks, and can also be used as a curling iron for modern waves.  It’s another must have for the office drawer.  Use it, then just throw on that little black dress and go!
