Cold weather can sometimes be tricky for curly girls, but don’t worry - with the right product’s, we’ll make sure your curls stay shining all night. 

Party season is the main event during the holidays, so we’re taking you back to basics with these quick and easy hairstyles to transform your curls into the life of the party!

1)  Curly Half-Up Slick Back

This versatile style keeps the volume strong while building in some structure for a defined look. It's perfect for those festive parties coming up and can be accessorised with a cute bow or accessory to elevate it even further.  

How to Achieve the Look:

1. Begin by prepping your hair with our Curl Jelly Refresh. Moisturised curls are easier to style and ensure maximum definition and hold. 
2.  Part your hair down the middle, gather the top section and apply a small amount of styling gel. Use a fine-tooth comb to slick the hair down and smooth out any bumps. For hair types 3c and up, try using our Fuzz Off™Control Clay to slick down any flyways and to ensure a strong hold. 
3. Secure with a hairband, and finish with a bow or scrunchie for a touch of soft glam perfect for a festive celebration.
