Hairstyles for the Holidays: The Timeless Bouffant

Hairstyles for the Holidays: The Timeless Bouffant

It’s time for hairstyles for the holidays. Thanksgiving is in only two days and you need a do that adapts to the humidity from cooking, yet looks like you haven’t touched the stove. L’Oreal Professionnel Artist Drew Schaefering brings this Tuesday’s how-to tutorial for hairstyles for the holidays to readers of Ask the Pro Sylist!

Happy Thanksgiving darlings! Hairstyles for the holidays are today’s focus thanks to L’Oreal Professionnel Artist Drew Schaefering.  According to Drew, this look can be worn at every holiday soiree. The Timeless Bouffant is “a soft updo, enhanced with volume that creates a presence and conveys elegant energy.”

Schaefering took inspiration form the big, voluminous hair of the 60s worn by style icons like Audrey Hepburn. However, this bouffant has a modern twist with feminine textures.

The following step-by-step guide of the Timeless Bouffant is courtesy of Professionnel Artist Drew Schaefering. All of the L’Oréal Professionnel Hair Care mentioned is available at fine salons. To locate one nearest you, visit LPSalons.com.

Hairstyles for the Holidays

• Prep hair with L’Oréal Professionnel Perfect Texture and blow dry.  
• Curl entire head, section by section from bottom up, applying L’Oréal Professionnel Infinium 3 to each curl before securing with a clip.
• Let the hair set for 15 minutes.
• Remove clips and brush out curls.
• Divide hair into four sections, one on each side of the head to the crown, one at the crown, and one at the nape, just below the occipital.
• At the bottom section, tease the hair and create a pony using a rubber band.
• Secure the pony onto the teased portion of the section.
• Tease the top and side sections of the hair.
• Spray L’Oréal Professionnel Infinium 4.
• With the fingertips use L’Oréal Professionnel Architexture to style the hair towards the back of the head. This helps to build structure of the style with volume and definition.
• Finish with L’Oréal Professionnel Infinium 4.
