Quick Hair Fix Tips For Holiday Travel

The busiest travel season is soon to be officially among us and with it comes the dry skin, flat hair and overall lack of freshness that sitting on a long flight, train or car ride will inevitably bring. No matter your mode of transportation to get home for the holidays, keep your hair looking its freshest with minimal upkeep with Pureology!

Pureology has provided three quick tips for getting salon-worthy hair even after long hours of travel.

1. Refresh your hair post-flight and extend your style in-between your next wash with Pureology Fresh Approach. Made with minerals, the Shampoo and Condition help keep your hair fresh for up to 3 days – no washing necessary! Just apply Fresh Approach Shampoo to the crown of your hair for added volume. For static and frizz control and restored softness, use Fresh Approach Condition on dry hair and brush through. 
2. The holy grail of all hair products, Pureology Colour Fanatic is the answer to all hair prayers – it detangles, primes, conditions and much more! Lightly mist Colour Fanatic on second day hair after hopping off the plane to refresh, create waves or refresh curls!
3. Invite your hair to soar to new heights as you travel with Pureology Pure Volume Levitation Mist, providing all-day lift without the weight for enviable volume. Perfect for spot styling, mist on dry hair where you need to create the most volume. Once you arrive at your destination, head to the nearest bathroom and quickly blow-dry hair with a round brush for added height!

Pretty Ponytails For The Holidays

Our calendars seem to fill up in the blink of an eye during the holiday season and we find ourselves hopping from party to party with little time in-between to catch our breath, let alone refresh our look. Just in time for the holidays, Pureology Artistic Ambassador Natasha Sunshineshares her three favorite ponytail styles to cover your errand runs, holiday parties and everything in-between! 

The Pony, Three Ways!

High and Sleek

1. Begin with damp hair. Apply a pea to nickel-sized dollop of Pureology Curl Complete Taming Butter two inches from your roots to tips. Blow dry and flatiron hair straight. Add another pea size of Taming Butter to ends before ironing.
2. Tease hair from front hairline to crown by taking 1” partings. Using a comb or natural bristle brush, lightly (so as not to remove teasing from hair) pull hair back into a high ponytail. Make sure your placement is sitting high on the head for a more dramatic effect. Spray Strengthening Control zero dulling hairspray, then smooth over pulled up hair with your palm to smooth away loose hairs.
3. Take a ¼” section of hair from under your pony and wrap around the base of your elastic band. Spray Strengthening Control zero dulling hairspray and pin into your pony with a bobby pin to hide it, placing it underneath your tail if possible.
4. Give a final douse of Strengthening Control Mist and you’re off!

Posh Half Pony

1. Begin with damp hair. Depending on your hair’s thickness, apply a dime to nickel-sized amount of Pureology Nourishing Nectar sculpting gel. Taking one section at a time, blow dry hair under using a large round natural bristle brush. The natural bristle and Nourishing Nectar work together to give you maximum shine.
2. Tease hair from front hairline to crown in 1” sections. Using your natural bristle brush, very gently smooth hair into a high half pony. Secure with an elastic.
3. Apply a dime size of Density Definer medium hold crème wax to palms and emulsify. Lightly smooth pulled-back hair back and up for hold and maximum shine. Pull out a ¼” section of hair from under the ponytail. Apply a pea-sized amount of Density Definer medium hold crème wax and smooth hair around base of your elastic. Pin bobby pin into your pony to hide it, placing it under your ponytail if possible.
4. Add Density Definer medium hold crème wax to any hair that needs additional shine or smoothing.

Pretty Pouf Pony

1. For improved manageability, start with hair that was washed the day prior. Spray Pureology Fresh Approach Dry Shampoo at the roots, taking 1” parting sections starting at the hairline and finishing at the crown. Brush product through the hair for a beautiful satin finish.
2. Apply Fresh Approach Dry Condition from mid-shaft to ends. Brush product through for maximum shine.
3. Follow the steps from the Posh Half Pony to get your first elastic in place. Place a thumb on each side of the head at the back of your earlobe. Run thumbs to center of the head to get your next section and secure with an elastic. Hide elastic with a ¼” section from underneath your pony and secure with a bobby.
4. Pull the remaining hair into a low pony and hide your elastic after securing. Either leave the last section loose or use a clear elastic to pull the hair together.
