10 Ways to Get Your Hair Holiday Ready!

With the holidays here, you want your hair looking its best at a moments notice. Whether you want it to look freshly blown out, curled to perfection, straight and smooth or in a fancy updo, you will need the right products on hand. These are the top products that will have your hair holiday ready all season long.

10 EASY Ways to Get Your Hair Holiday Ready!

1. Kenra Perfect Blowout - This lightweight styling creme helps to direct hair when blow drying and gives it the texture and hold it needs so a perfect look is achieved each and every time. When used, I don't need to use any hot tool, just a big round brush and a great hair dryer (like the one below). Buy it from Ulta.

2. Ultra CHI Glitter Sweet Hair Dryer - This fashionable hair dryer features ceramic heat plus infrared and ion technology so hair is dried faster with less frizz. That means, smoother, salon-quality hair in no time. Buy it at Ulta.

3. Proganix Moisture Balm - Made with a blend of coconut water, electrolytes and coconut oil, this moisture balm does a fantastic job at taming unruly flyaways in the dry winter months. Buy it at CVS, Ulta or Walgreens.

4. Show Beauty Premiere Finishing Spray - This hairspray not only finishes and locks in your hairstyle, it does so while giving it incredible shine — more shine than I've ever seen from a hairspray before. I like the small 1.7 oz. size for my handbag. Buy it from Sephora.

5. Scünci Hair Tattoos - Hair tattoos are the latest hair trend, and this set contains two sheets of the hottest designs to wear on the hair. These are perfect to add a little fun design to a half up/ half down look for a holiday party. Buy it from Target or Ulta.

6. Ultra CHI Glitter Sweet 1" Iron - This 1" flat iron will have hair silky smooth in your favorite style and fast. It features 30 second heat-up and ceramic plates for even heat distribution. Negative ions ensure that hair is frizz free too. Buy it from Ulta.

7. Kenra Fast-Dry Hairspray - I am in LOVE with this newer hairspray for two reasons. Not only is it a perfect finishing spray to lockdown my hairstyle and hold it in place for 24 hours, but it is great to use BEFORE using hot tools. Yes! I spray on a light misting of this thermal spray before curling my hair so my hair is protected and curls are held longer and better. It's really unique and what I've been waiting for. Buy it at Ulta.

8. Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo - The holy grail of dry shampoo's, this instantly absorbs oil and product build up without leaving behind any visible residue. It contains natural volumizing and deodorizing agents so hair is revived of volume and is left smelling fresh and clean with a hint of the signature Moroccanoil scent. Buy it from your favorite salon.

9. AGEbeautiful Root Touch-Up Spray - When you're short on time and need to conceal your roots or maybe some gray hair, this spray will do the trick in no time. It saves me in between salon visits and when I pull my hair back or updo's all the time! Buy it at Sally Beauty Supply.

10. WEN by Chaz Dean Re-Moist Hydrating Hair Mask - This is the ultimate moisturizing treatment for dry, damaged, or stressed hair which is going to happen this time of year. Run it through clean wet hair and leave on for about 45 minutes for a salon quality deep conditioning treatment. For a very intensive overnight treatment, put a plastic shower cap over wet hair that has been treated with the conditioner and sleep in it all night. Buy it from Sephora.

MAC Dita Von Teese Lipstick.

If there was ever a perfect red lipstick AND a perfect person to launch one, this is it! MAC has teamed up with the one and only Dita Von Teese to launch a GORGEOUS vivid tomato red lipstick in MAC Dita Von Teese.

MAC Dita Von Teese

This lipstick is inspired by Dita's new book Your Beauty Mark and it is also Dita's signature shade. It is said to bring out your "seductive spirit".

This matte red shade is beautiful. It is a true bright red - I think the tomato describes it best. It is highly pigmented and lasts a good five to six hours before fading. Dita is obviously wearing a gloss over it in the photo and I would guess a dark liner.
