Blogmas Day 17 - My Top 5 Hair Products For The Party Season

Being a girly girl, I love getting ready and getting myself glamed up, whether that be doing my makeup, hair or outfit building, I just really enjoy the whole process of getting ready. Maybe its because I love beauty products so much is my reason behind the love getting ready process. Sometimes I actually prefer getting ready to the actual going out; I've always found it really fun being with my favourite girlies and all trying to get ready around one mirror. Those 'getting ready' conversations are always the best right?

I've talked a lot about the makeup side of things in my Blogmas posts so far, but not enough about hair! Lets face it, if your having a good hair day or your hair is looking the way that you want it too, it just makes everything so much better. One of my go to hair styles and one that I'll always put my hair in when I'm going out is to wear my hair down in loose glamorous curls. I know it sounds like a pretty basic hair style, but its one of my favourites and I just think it works perfectly with every outfit.

Whilst it maybe an easy hairstyle to recreate, I always find that a lot can go wrong. For me especially I always find that my hair never wants to stay curly for very long because its just so long and fine. Another issue I have is that my hair lacks a lot of volume, so I always have to find those hair products that will give it a much needed boost. So today I thought I would bring together a selection of my favourite hair products that are essential for the party season, whether you're wearing your hair up, down, curly or straight! Basically there are four main hair products that I cannot live without!

Starting with an old favourite, the Envy Professional Stye Hero serum which I use every time before blow drying my hair. This serum not only smells divine, but it really makes my hair feel glossy, smooth and easier to work with and manage. I just use a few pumps of this serum on damp hair and work it through from roots to tip and it really does make such a difference. If I try and style freshly washed hair without this stuff I find that I'm dealing with a hair nightmare.

Another product that I swear by and one that I'll use also before blow drying my hair is the Matrix Hold Booster. This is the kind of product that would have scared me a few years ago as I would have assumed it worked like gel or something. Again this product has more of a serum feel to it and I only use this when my hair is wet or damp. I either use it on its own or mix it into my my favourite hair mousse and distribute it throughout my hair. I find that this product helps to create a lot of texture and movement to my hair, which it really lacks on its own. As it's a holding serum I find that whatever hairstyle I create lasts a lot longer when I use this, which is just what I need.

Whilst styling my hair, I love creating texture as it just makes my hair look a lot thicker than what it actually is. One hairstyle saviour I've found is the Charles Worthington Texturising Spay. I'm pretty sure everyone has gone crazy for this spray over the past year or so, its just that good. This spray is what I like to call my 'backcomb in a bottle' as it does just that. Whether I'm back combing my hair or not this spray really helps to create that backcombed effect. Again I probably love it so much as it adds so much texture and volume to my hair that actually lasts. It's also really handbag friendly and I often take this out with me instead of hairspray.

Of course no hairstyle would be complete without a trusty bottle of hairspray. I think investing in a good hairspray is worth while. I've bought so many cheap ones in the past that just ruin a really good hairstyle. One hairspray that is really worth investing in is the Matrix High Amplify as it really does an amazing job at giving my hair that much needed hold. What I really love about this is that it's really lightweight and doesn't make my hair feel crusty or hard! Ewww! My hair always has a lot of flexibility when I use this, which for me makes it a winner.

And last, but not least is my favourite hair styler... My GHD Curve. This curling tong really is my baby and I would recommend to any one who loves curling hair to pick one of these wands up, they're just amazing. I love big bouncy curls and this wand creates them in an instant, it really is the best curling tool that I've ever tried and I'm desperate to get my hands on the other three in the GHD collection.

I really hope this helps fix up your hairstyles for this party season. Please let me know what your favourite hair products are?

Lots of Love
