Aussie has a great selection of hairsprays to keep your hair in place
28 November
When it comes to hair, the holiday social swirl calls for looks that take your everyday style up a notch and last through frightful weather, warm holiday hugs and chasing tiny tots. But who wants to add gathering an arsenal of hair tools to the holiday to-do list? Aussie Celebrity Stylist Sarah Potempa calls on just one tool to take locks from flat to festive in a flash. “I use hairspray for everything from all day photo shoot styling to long lasting red carpet styles and it’s a secret weapon to help any look last and stay fresh,” says Sarah.
Hairspray is an essential tool for a holiday party ‘do, as it can be used to create instant volume and keep your style fresh from day to night, whether you’re going for voluminous curls or a sleek straight style. The key to using hairspray like a pro is to choose the right formula for your hair type and/or desired style.
My favorite hairspray of all time is Aussie! The products actually work and smell great! So, here is a selection of their great hairsprays. Go buy one or all of them!
The instant freeze spray showers your hair with Maximum hold. Allows for bounce but stays in place.
Sprunch hairspray is perfect to keep those waves in place. Works great to spray on hair after curling to keep it gorgeous and bouncy.
Mega has a flexible hold. This is great when you want those fly away hairs to stay in place but not be stiff at the same time.
Volume hairspray has incredi-capacity to help keep your volumized look locked into place. Oh, this would be perfect with updo's and the retro 80 big hair!
You can shine is a hi hold, hi shine spray that holds your hair in place with maximum hold. Also adds a touch of shine to make that hair-do turn heads!
Instant Freeze is a strong, quick hold that'll give you the chills! The extreme hold keeps you look in place and fast.
As a general rule the more natural the style and texture of your hair, the more flexible your hairspray should be. The more work you do to change your texture (straight to curly, frizzy to flat), the stronger the spray you need to fight humidity and keep your style intact.
Keep these rules in mind when choosing and using a spray to suit your style:
Touchable curls that last = FLEXIBLE HOLD HAIRSPRAY before curling (Aussie Mega Hairspray)
Formerly frizzy hair that’s been flat ironed = MAXIMUM HOLD HAIRSPRAY after ironing (Aussie Instant Freeze Hairspray)
An updo that you want to stay up = MEDIUM HOLD HAIRSPRAY before and after you style (Aussie You Can Shine Hi Hold + Hi Shine Spray)
Bouncy and voluminous locks that won’t fall flat (especially at the crown) = MAXIMUM HOLD/VOLUME formula before styling (Aussie Aussome Volume Hairspray)
Check out these great styles created by Sarah for the holidays:
v Gift Exchange Glam - A big, bouncy style with extra volume is a nod to old Hollywood, which always reminds me of the glamour of the holidays. But I rarely have time for a fresh style with the shopping, planning and celebrating!
o FUN #HAIRHACK: Set your hair the night before with Aussie Sprunch Aerosol Hairspray and sleep with your hair in a loose topknot. Wake up, throw on a cozy sweater and head to work in your messy topknot. Right before the holiday gift exchange, pull down that bun for voluminous, “photo ready” hair!
v Trim Your Topknot – When you’re running from the office to the holiday cocktail party, your everyday work topknot may become your default party style. Add instant holiday sparkle with an eye-catching accessory.
o QUICK #HAIRHACK: First grab your Aussie Instant Freeze Aerosol Hairspray and spray your brush before throwing your hair up. To change the look to an evening chic style, spritz across the roots and smooth the can over for a flawless, no-frizz finish. Then throw on a glam vintage-inspired headband for the ultimate party hair in minutes!
v Snow Bunny Style – The hairstyles throughout the 1960s were so fabulous- filled with volume and curls!
o SIMPLE #HAIRHACK: To bring this look into 2014 first try shifting your part this holiday season. A center part can be oh so chic. For volume in your crown, spray Aussie Aussome Volume Hairspray under the roots, tease and set in large 2” hot rollers. When your hair has cooled slide out the rollers for big, soft waves. Gather the top half of hair at the crown and criss-cross bobby pins to secure for holiday hair happiness!
