That moment when you’ve spent hours on your hair, curling irons, straighteners, and then you have to go to sleep... You hope your hair looks just as beautiful the next day as the day you styled it. Curious how your party look can survive the first, second, and maybe even third day of Christmas? Here’s how your hair survives the night:
Step 1 - The preparations
Make sure you wash your hair on the day you’re going to create the party look. This prevents your hair from getting greasy quickly. Also, your pillow is essential: use a pillowcase made of smooth material, preferably satin. This prevents frizzy, static hair because there’s no friction between your hair and the pillow.
Step 2 - The party look in the making
Use heat tools like a straightener or curling iron of good quality so your look lasts long and you don’t damage your hair. A good straightener or curling iron can really make the difference in how long it stays in place. Always use a heat protector when working with a heat tool. This gives your hair an extra protective layer before you start. With these heat protectors, you’re definitely in good hands:
Step 3 (1/2) - When I have curled my hair
If you’re ready to go to sleep and want your curls to look just as beautiful the next day, it’s best to put your hair in a loose ponytail on top of your head and spray some extra product in your hair before sleeping, such as hairspray or a texture spray. Examples of these are the Indola Finish Strong Hairspray or the Indola Dry Texture Spray. If you use a hair tie, use a IInvisibobble hair tie. This prevents creases and marks in your hair. If you have longer hair, you can also make a loose bun on top of your head. Finally, you could also use a pair of tights. Cut a piece off and wear it as a hair net over your head. This prevents friction with your pillow.
Step 3 (2/2) - When I have straightened my hair
If you have straightened hair and want it to be just as straight the next day as on the first Christmas day, it’s best to brush your hair well before going to bed. Then spray some hairspray on your brush and brush through again. Also apply some dry shampoo before sleeping so your hair doesn’t look greasy the next day. You can sleep with your hair loose, but it’s best to tie it up lightly. This prevents you from lying on your hair and it taking on shapes you don’t want! For example, use a Invisibobble hair tie to make a loose ponytail. You can also wrap your hair in a satin scarf and secure it on your head. This way it stays in place and prevents friction.
Step 4 - Showering in the morning
Want to shower in the morning? Then make sure your hair doesn’t get damp. It’s best to put your hair in a shower cap. This applies to both straightened and curled hair!
Step 5 - The finishing touch
If all goes well, your hair survived the night pretty well. Restyle any fallen curls or a strand that’s not completely straight anymore, but most of the work has held up well and you are ready for the day!
We have put together some tips and products on how you can enjoy straight hair for as long as possible!
Step 1 - Wash your hair with a shampoo and mask before styling
Wash your hair before styling with, for example, the L'Oreal Pro Longer Shampoo. This sulfate-free shampoo is specially developed to hydrate and strengthen your hair from root to tip to prevent dry lengths and ends. Then use the Mad About Lengths Embracing Treatment. This treatment reduces hair breakage, deeply cleanses the hair, nourishes the lengths extra, and makes the hair flexible and strong.
Step 2 - Use a serum or conditioning cream after straightening.
After washing your hair, it’s time for a serum. The serum detangles your hair, makes it wonderfully smooth, and prevents frizz. Additionally, your hair will dry with a beautiful shine. Our favorite: The Indola Smooth Serum.
Step 3 - Use a heat protector
Truly an essential to protect your hair well from heat! If you don’t use heat protection, your hair can get damaged faster, look dull, or become frizzy. Our tip: the Redken Extreme Play Safe Heat Protection.
Step 4 (for the curlies) - Proper blow-drying beforehand
If you have curls, blow-dry your hair first before straightening. Brush your hair while blow-drying to make it a bit straighter already. This way, you don’t have to go over a section too many times with the straightener.
Step 5 - Invest in a good straightener
This not only ensures your hair stays straight longer but also prevents damage to the hair. A good straightener has a special coating on the plates, which distributes the heat evenly. We sell different types of straighteners: view the assortment here.
Step 6 - Use the right temperature on your straightener
It is very important to style your hair at the right temperature. This is because everyone has different hair thickness. As a general rule: the thicker your hair, the higher the temperature. The thinner, the lower. Approximately 160 degrees for thin hair, 180 degrees for normal hair, and 200-220 degrees for thick hair.
Step 7 - Hairspray is your best friend
Spray some hairspray on your brush and then brush your hair. This prevents frizz and keeps your hair straight longer. Use a hairspray with a light hold, for example the Indola Flexible Hold Spray. This hairspray has a medium hold factor and gives your hair a natural shine!
Do you want to curl your hair for the holidays? Of course, you want your hair to look beautiful all evening long. We have some tips for you on how to enjoy your hair all night without it falling flat:
Tip 1 - Skip the conditioner
If you are going to curl your hair, it is better to skip the conditioner while showering. Conditioner can weigh down your hair, causing the curls to fall out faster. Do you still want your hair to be a bit easier to comb? Then use a Leave-In conditioner!
Tip 2 - Use a strengthening mousse after showering
After you finish showering, it’s best to use a strengthening mousse with a strong hold, for example the Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Grip Mousse. The Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Mousse is a flexible mousse that creates structure and volume in the hair with a natural shine.
Tip 3 - The making of...
Make sure each strand of hair is well curled. Don’t pull too hard on the strand while curling, or it will get tired before the day even starts. Always take thin strands of hair so the heat can properly set your hair in the curl. You can try pinning the curl with a clip after curling, so the curl cools down in a good shape, which makes it last longer. The base is the most important: the curl must cool down properly.
Tip 4 - Finish with hairspray
It’s up to you whether you want to comb out your hair for a natural look. So be careful not to use too much hairspray during the making. This makes it difficult to comb through your hair and doesn’t have the desired effect. Then spray hairspray on the hair you have curled, for example with the Schwarzkopf Osis+ Session Hairspray. This hairspray is the strongest hairspray from the Osis line and fixes the hair all day long. This means this spray can handle a lot and keeps the hair fixed all day.
Do you want to pin up your hair for the holidays? Then of course you want it to stay in place and feel comfortable! That’s why we have a few tips for you.
Tip 1 - Use a little wax
First, distribute a small amount of wax through your hair which gives your hair more texture, also your hair gets more volume and a beautiful shine. For example, you can Indola Act Now Shine Wax perfect for this!
Tip 2 - Use hairpins
If you want to pin up your hair, it often works best with a few hairpins! With these hair clips you can easily secure strands of hair the way you want. They are also ideal for keeping headbands or other head coverings in place.
Tip 3 - Use hairspray for extra hold
If you have pinned up your hair, you naturally want it to stay in place all evening, so it’s wise to use a hairspray with a strong hold. The REF Extreme Hold Spray No. 525 is a very strong hairspray that gives the hair more volume, with this hairspray your hair stays styled all evening. Or use the Schwarzkopf Osis+ Session Hairspray, which also has a very strong hold!
