Holiday Hair

Crazy, Sexy, Cool

For: Denise Richards Goes to Dinner at the White House
Styled by: Jon Charles
Price: $65–85
For someone who dares to don a Balenciaga blouse, patent leather platforms, and skinny jeans to the country club, this tousled up-do is the finishing touch. “With an up-do, the look should be based on face shape, style of clothes, the event, and the client’s personality,” says Charles. “Do you want your hair to whisper, talk, or scream?”

Romantic Pin Curls

For: The Socialite Belle of the Ball
Styled by: Jason Deavalon
Makeup by: Jeffrey Dunn, Salon Rouge
Price: $100
Inspired by the hairstyle of model Gemma Ward on the November cover of Vanity Fair, Jason Deavalon recreated a classic pin-curl do. Extend the life of this style by wearing it up and messy the day after. “With an up-do, the key is to get as much wear out of the style as you can, because styling stresses hair,” says Deavalon.

Hot Party Hair

For: The Host of the Party
Styled by: Maureen Anlauf
Makeup by: Angelia
Price: $200 with Maureen
If you’re shunning the up-do this holiday season, Anlauf says “hot rollers are back!” It is easier to use rollers than the curling irons of last year’s coifs. Plus, this style works with just about any  hair length and texture. “You can take this from a pair of jeans and heels to a party dress. What makes the difference is the accessories—a headband or scarf,” Anlauf says.

Poshed-Up Pony

For: Mom on the Go
Style and makeup by:
Danielle Goulet Peterson
Price: $85 with Danielle
If your go-to style is most often a ponytail, here’s something easy to jazz up the look for a cocktail party. “This do goes with anything from a business suit or cocktail dress to the neighborhood party in a pair of jeans,” says Peterson. “All you need is hair that has some length in the nape area—even a bob—and don’t wash your hair the day of your style,” Peterson adds. “Really clean hair doesn’t hold a style very well.”
