Hair and make-up tips for the festive season

Party Hair
Glossy hair is the ultimate party accessory. Beautiful shiny tresses say 'healthy' and 'groomed' but during the Christmas party season, this may not reflect your lifestyle. Charles Worthington have developed a range of products and tips to keep your hair in fine fettle from day to night.

Up-dos are the ultimate desk to dancefloor makeover for the Christmas party season. Opt for either slick, high ponytails or a looser tousled up-do either create a chic alternative to tired work hair. Charles Worthington's Moisture Seal Glossing Shampoo (£4.19) rescues dry, lacklustre locks leaving them soft and shiny, the perfect prep for any party styling.

Straightening irons are the key to achieving salon perfect, sleek, glossy hair. A quick tip to refresh straight hair is to spray sections of dry hair with Results Stay Smooth Perfectly Straight Straightening-Iron Protection (£3.99) and run straightening irons through the sections from root to tip. The spray will protect hair against heat damage and boost shine. Rub a few drops of serum in the palms of your hands and smooth over the mid-lengths and ends of your hair to tame wayward strands and keep hair straight all day and night.

With curly hair's tendency to frizz it can often look dull and lifeless. Tame your hair with anti- frizz shampoo and conditioner. Try Results Stay Smooth Shampoo and Smooth All-Over Conditioner (£4.19). When styling pre party apply a serum to protect you hair and smooth wayward strands. Finally spritz a spray like Charles Worthington Results Full Volume Full Body invisible-hold hairspray (£3.99) which can transform office hair to fabulous party with maximum body and maximum impact.

Above all remember that looking good is all about feeling good. Nothing will make you look better than a big smile and a great attitude.
