With invitations beginning to arrive, may need some more holiday hair inspiration for your next event. . .

Step 1-- Use a large-barrel curling iron to create loose curls all around your head, from the ears down.

Step 2-- Part your hair in the middle, and use your fingers to loosen and separate the curls.

Step 3-- Starting halfway down the part, begin spritzing your roots with hairspray. Continue to the crown.

Step 4-- To create height and volume, tease the sprayed hair with a fine-tooth comb.

Step 5-- Use a brush to gently smooth the teased hair, and gather the sides up into a half ponytail.

Step 6-- Secure the sides with pins, then use your fingers to gently shape the curls into place.

Step 7-- End with shine spray.
