Christmas party glam
Women the world over are booking in for those last minute colour, cut and style appointments ahead of the festive season. Here we come up with the best glam styles for short, medium length and long hair.

Short:
This is the time of year when many women consider going for the chop, and with celebs like Gemma Arterton embracing the look, you can’t blame them! A chic, textured crop is a statement in itself, but for women who want to jazz things up a little, a couple of well-placed sparkly grips can work wonders.
For the more brave clients, try a deep side parting and a super slick gel for a sexy nod to the eighties. Our favourite styling gel has to be L’Oréal Professionnel Tecni.ART Dual Stylers Sleek & Swing.
Medium Length:
The lob has been the enduring style of 2016; women with longer hair went for the chop, and celebs with shorter looks grew their hair out into the versatile style. For the festive wow factor add texture to those layers. Think choppy beach waves or old Hollywood style tumbling waves for a glamorous look! Plus, if you use the right curling/waving tools. the look will last even longer.
As always, make sure you use a styling range that offers heat protection, but if you’re in a rush, try Uniq One All In One Hair Treatment in Coconut. It smells amazing and will leave hair protected, silky and frizz-free.
Long:
Remember the days when everyone was rocking super straight locks? Well they’re back again, and silkier than ever. Whether it’s naturally long or lengthened with the finest quality extensions, the hottest trend for long hair is poker straight. In the past long straight hair has been worn with blunt fringes, but right now, celebs like J-Lo and Jourdan Dunn are rocking the sensual style with a simple middle parting. There’s also a lightness to this length, so it’s all about how you layer your blow drying products.
A great line for super straight looks is Schwarzkopf’s Osis+ Glamination; five products that add shine and give sleek control, without weighing the hair down.
