Holiday Hair & Beauty Trends

We all want to look your best at all the parties and events you have to attend this holiday season. Here are some simple ways to spice up your look and be more festive this party season!

Wine Colored Lips

A bright red lip is always a safe bet during the holidays, but more recently the trend has been towards a wine lip color. The good news is a wine lip color works well on all skin tones, whether you’re light, medium, or dark. The key is to pick a shade you’re comfortable in and to keep your eye makeup light so your lips stand out even more. Be sure to take your lipstick with you for touch ups!

Dramatic Ballerina Bun

A romantic ballerina bun is the perfect way to compliment your holiday look this year! It brings the perfect balance if you’re wearing an ornate party dress, while adding a modern twist. It also happens to be super quick and easy to do! Gather your hair in a high ponytail, twist your hair and wrap it around the base of your ponytail, then just secure the bun with bobby pins and hair spray.

Undone Pony

A messy ponytail looks effortlessly chic and brings a touch of retro glamour to your holiday look. To get this look, part your hair down the middle and create loose curls using a curling iron. Add some extra volume by backcombing at the crown of your head, before pulling your hair back to the nape of your neck and securing with an elastic. Allow some pieces to naturally fall out framing your face creating a soft feminine look.

Glittery Hair Accessories

Make heads turn this holiday season by adding a sparkly accent to your updo! Try teasing your hair back and adding an embellished headband to instantly make your hair party ready. Or try clipping a glittery hair pin oto the side of your updo. A glittery hair accent is the best way to add some festive fun to your already polished look.

Hair Color Allergens – Paraphenylenediamine

Do you really know what’s in your hair color…? I mean, we all know that when we get our hair colored the stylist is using chemicals to alter our hair color and composition BUT do you know which chemicals are actually being used … and even more important … do you know if you’re allergic to any of them? A bad hair day is one thing however, a bad burnt scalp day is an extremely worse situation.

Allergy to paraphenylenediamine
What is paraphenylenediamine and where is it found?

Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) is a chemical substance that is widely used as a permanent hair dye. The use of PPD as a hair dye is popular because it is a permanent dye that gives a natural look. Hair can also be shampooed without becoming decoloured and perming to achieve waves or curls can be done without difficulty. PPD hair dyes usually come packaged as 2 bottles, one containing the PPD dye preparation and the other containing the developer or oxidizer. PPD is a colourless substance that requires oxygen for it to become coloured. It is this intermediate, partially oxidised state that may cause allergy in sensitive individuals.

What are the reactions to PPD allergy?

Reaction caused by the use of hair dye in mild cases usually only involves dermatitis to the upper eyelids or the rims of the ears. In more severe cases, there may be marked reddening and swelling of the scalp and the face. The eyelids may completely close and the allergic contact dermatitis reaction may become widespread. Severe allergy to PPD can result in contact urticaria and rarely, anaphylaxis.

Special thanks to DermNet for the detailed info!

What should I do to avoid PPD allergy?
