We caught up with one of your Bombshell Stylists, Beth Conlin Hair, based in Portland, OR, for a little round-up of her favorite ways to style hair for the holidays!
Beth loves to focus on an ‘effortless’ look in coloring and styling her clients. She’s sharing all her tips for these Holiday styles that make you look like you were done-up by the pro herself!
BOMBSHELL GLAM:
HOW TO GET THIS LOOK:
For Olivia’s glam look, I took one inch sections and curled the hair in the same direction all the way around. I set the curls with working spray and let cool.
Working spray is a must for combing out curls so that you can still brush through the hair! Brush out the curls with a boar bristle brush and shape into place. Once I had the shape I wanted, I finished off with a shine spray. Shine spray is key for that glossy finish!

UNDONE FINGER-WAVES:
HOW TO GET THIS LOOK:
On Nicole’s hair, I really wanted to create a deep retro style wave around her face. I gave her a deep side part on the opposite side than she normally parts on for extra volume on the top.
I started at her part, using a 1” curling iron and curled the sides holding the barrel parallel to her part. In the back, I curled everything away from the face holding the curling iron vertical. Using the teasing comb, I brushed out the curls and shaped them into place using working spray and shine spray.

BIG MESSY WAVES:
HOW TO GET THIS LOOK:
For a messier look, softly tease pieces here and there from the ends up to make it fluffy. Use a dry texture spray to finish off. My favorite is Oribe Dry Texture Spray. If you really want to keep things big and messy, use a few puffs of volumizing powder to keep the hair in place. I really love Unite Expanda Dust!

ALL-THE-PEARLS:

I love adding in hair accessories on short hair to dress up the look! These pins are from Kitsch.

FESTIVE FEMININE UP-DO
HOW TO GET THIS LOOK:
After curling the hair, create a low pony. Separate the hair into 2 sections. Wrap one section around forming a bun. Wrap the other section around the previous one going the opposite direction. Secure with Bobby pins. Spray with Oribe Dry Texture Spray. Loosen pieces to make it fuller.
Option 2: I added this pretty pink ribbon around the bun from Free People.
