Create Fabulous and Fierce Holiday
Hairstyles with Tips From Motions®
Celebrity Stylist Ursula Stephen
Holiday gatherings and festivities call for versatile and vivacious hairstyles. Whether you need to dazzle on the dance floor or stand out at a dinner party, get camera-ready by creating these holiday looks with Motions®. Motions Celebrity Stylist, Ursula Stephen, lends her tips for achieving fabulous and fierce looks.
Glamorous, Loose Waves
Evoke old-Hollywood, holiday glamour with a deep side part and soft, smooth, effortless waves. “The key to this glamorous look is creating a balance between the soft curls and polished part. It’s all about maximum glamour with minimal fuss,” says Stephen. Follow these easy steps for beautiful, retro waves:
 |
1. |
Begin by working Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion through damp hair and then blow-dry with a round brush to create body and movement. |
| 2. |
Then, using a medium barrel curling iron, begin curling the hair in small sections – spritz each curl as you go with Motions Light Hold Working Spritz. |
| 3. |
After you complete the entire head, brush curls out with a paddle brush and style to your preference. |
| 4. |
Finally, set the look while still maintaining movement with Motions Hold & Shine Styling Spray. |
|
Sleek, Chic Top-Knot
A sleek, chic top-knot is the perfect combination of fashion-forward and classic elegance – the perfect accessory for that knock-out party dress. “Pulling hair away from your face and shoulders allows you to show off your neckline and collarbone,” says Stephen. Create this quick coiffure in just a few simple steps:
| 1. |
Start with clean dry hair (flat ironing is optional) and in quick, even strokes, spray Motions Oil Sheen & Conditioning Spray to add luster and shine. |
 |
| 2. |
Brush hair upwards into a ponytail and secure with a hair band. |
| 3. |
Next, curl only the ends of the ponytail and then gently brush them out. If you have fine hair, you can then tease the base of the ponytail to create a foundation for the knot. |
| 4. |
Holding the ponytail in one hand, twist around the hair band to form a bun/knot and secure with bobby pins. |
| 5. |
Once all ends are secured, hold the look in place with Motions Light Hold Working Spritz. |
| 6. |
To finish the look, tidy up any fly-aways along the hairline with a small brush and a bit of Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade. |
Sweet, Side-Swept Chignon
For a soft and flirty style, try this classic up-do with an asymmetrical twist. Ultra-feminine and sophisticated, it’s the perfect look for holiday photos. Simply follow these steps and smile:
 |
1. |
Start by applying Motions Light Styling Foam to towel-dried hair and then blow or air-dry completely. |
| 2. |
When fully dry, spritz hair with Motions Light Hold Working Spritz to provide control for styling. |
| 3. |
Then, using a 1-inch curling iron, curl 2-inch sections of hair and secure each “pin curl” to the scalp using bobby pins – continue until the entire head is complete. |
| 4. |
Let the curls set for about 20 minutes, remove pins and brush all of your hair to the side that will feature the chignon. |
| 5. |
Depending on the length of your hair, you can either gather it into a hair band OR pin it. |
| 6. |
Next, mold and pin the curls into creating a beautiful, flirty shape. |
| 7. |
Finish the look and add brilliant shine by spraying Motions Hold & Shine Styling Spray all over the hair. |
