Essential Products for Long-Lasting Holiday Styles

The Holiday Hair Toolkit:

🌟 Glow Luxe Edge Control - Your secret weapon for sleek, smooth edges that don't flake or lose hold. The long-lasting formula keeps edges laid all night without the drying alcohols found in many edge products.

🌟 Glow Luxe Hair & Skin Glow Oil - Multi-purpose magic! Use it to add shine, smooth flyaways, and give your style a healthy glow. The lightweight formula won't weigh hair down or leave greasy residue.

🌟 Glow Luxe Hair Growth Serum - Perfect for pre-styling scalp prep. Massage into your scalp the night before your event to ensure your hair is nourished and your scalp is healthy. Great for protective styles too.

🌟 Glow Luxe Strengthening Hair Growth Balm - Use this rich balm on your ends before styling to prevent dryness and breakage, especially important during winter party season.

Pre-Party Hair Prep (The Night Before)

Don't wait until party day to think about your hair! Proper preparation ensures better results:

48 Hours Before:

• Deep condition with Glow Luxe Strengthening Hair Growth Balm
• Massage Glow Luxe Hair Growth Serum into scalp for nourishment

Night Before:

• Stretch hair using your preferred method (twists, braids, or banding)
• Sleep on a satin pillowcase or wear a satin bonnet
• Apply light oil to ends to prevent dryness

Day Of:

• Work with already moisturized, stretched hair
• Avoid adding too many products that can cause buildup
• Style 2-3 hours before the event for best hold

Tips for All-Night Hold

1. Start with Clean, Moisturized Hair

Product buildup can prevent styles from holding. Make sure hair is clean and properly moisturized before styling.

2. Use the Right Amount of Product

Too little won't provide hold; too much will cause buildup and flaking. Start small and add more if needed.

3. Secure Properly

Don't skimp on bobby pins! Use enough to feel secure, and make sure they're properly anchored.

4. Set Your Style

Allow your style to "set" for at least 30 minutes before heading out. This helps products dry and styles lock in place.

5. Bring Touch-Up Essentials

Pack a small emergency kit:

• Travel-size Glow Luxe Edge Control
• A few extra bobby pins
• Small brush or edge brush
• Satin scarf (for car ride if needed)

Protecting Your Style During the Party

Temperature Transitions: When moving from cold to warm environments, give your hair a moment to adjust. Avoid touching it immediately.

Dancing: Choose styles that are secured away from your face and neck. Updos and buns are ideal for active celebration.

Photos: Before photos, do a quick check:

• Smooth any flyaways with a tiny bit of Hair & Skin Glow Oil on your fingertips
• Check edges and touch up with Edge Control if needed
• Fluff or adjust volume as needed

Post-Party Hair Care

After the celebration, take care of your hair:

1. Remove pins gently
   • Don't rush and cause breakage
2. Massage scalp with Glow Luxe Hair Growth Serum to restore circulation
3. Moisturize
   • Reapply leave-in conditioner and seal with oil
4. Protect overnight
   • Use satin bonnet or pillowcase
5. Deep condition within 2-3 days to restore moisture

Holiday Hair Don'ts

❌ Don't try a brand new style the day of your event - practice first!

❌ Don't use heavy products that will weigh hair down or cause buildup

❌ Don't skip edge control - even if your style doesn't focus on edges, smooth edges elevate any look

❌ Don't over-manipulate - once your style is set, leave it alone!

❌ Don't forget to protect your hair when you get home - remove pins and moisturize before bed

Quick Holiday Hair Fixes

Problem: Edges starting to frizz Solution: Lightly apply Glow Luxe Edge Control with fingertips and smooth

Problem: Style losing volume Solution: Gently fluff from underneath, avoid disturbing the surface

Problem: Flyaways appearing Solution: Tiny amount of Hair & Skin Glow Oil on fingertips, smooth over problem areas

Problem: Pins slipping Solution: Cross two bobby pins in an X shape for better hold

Bonus: Complete Your Holiday Look

Don't forget that beautiful hair is just one part of your holiday glow! Pair your stunning hairstyle with:
