There is no better time to shake up your look than Christmas party season – expect to see your favourite looks from throughout the year evolving. Christmas hair is all about adding a touch of magic, charm, and celebration to your look. Are you ready to sleigh the season in style?
Christmas Trends

Bouncy Blowdry
The luxuriously sophisticated Bouncy Blowdry. Spotted everywhere from runways to red carpets, the bouncy blowdry embodies volume, height, texture and of course, immense shine! To achieve a dream blowdry, I would recommend prepping the hair with the JOICO JoiFull Volumising Shampoo and Conditioner. Follow up by spraying the NEW Dream Blowout Glass 72hr Frizz Fighter by JOICO® liberally onto clean, damp hair and blow-dry using tension to activate. Start with teasing the crown to achieve that effortlessly voluminous look and use a large barrel round brush to blow-dry the hair, clipping the section once finished. Big, beautiful, bouncy hair!
Elegant Updos
Elegant up-dos add a touch of sophistication to any festive party look. The chignon has been a favourite of mine this year – it’s chic, luxurious and keeps the hair off your face as you party!

Chocolate Box Hair
This season’s sweetest hair colour – a mixture of glossy brunette and dark blonde hues, resembling the color of our favorite chocolate treats. This shade is the height of sophistication and opulence, with an expensive-looking finish. If you have green or blue eyes, the cool tones of this shade will bring out the colour in your eyes!

Cinnamon Blonde
Cinnamon blonde exudes understated elegance, thanks to its rich, multidimensional tones that bring depth and warmth to any hairstyle. This soft, tawny-beige hue is especially flattering as the seasons shift into cooler months. Its versatility makes it a great match for a wide range of skin tones and colour palettes, featuring a cool acorn base subtly woven with vanilla blonde highlights – the perfect change for a winter transformation.
Accessories Heaven
Embracing hair accessories to the fullest in on the menu this party season! Think beads, rings, charms, bows, ribbons, and glitter to create bold looks that stand out in any room. It’s all about adding that extra flair and a personal element to your hairstyle.
Must-have products
