Spirited hair reflects beauty of the season PAGE II - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER It, 1W1 (^Beautiful holiday hair means more than simply tuck­ ing a spray of holly into your hairdo and humming a few bars of "Jingle Bells/* It means being ready for a flurry of holiday patties, for family photo sessions, and for those moments held captive beneath a sprig of mistletoe. But, with die usual holiday rush, time for pampering yourself is at a minimum. The following tips from noted New York hairstylist Hugh Harrison should help your hair to make it through the holi­ days unfrazzled: • Whether your locks are straight, sleek or in soft ro­ mantic waves, start planning your holiday hairdos. Curls, a simple topknot, a retro roll or the new short "baby" heads take planning. • Whatever your look, set aside some time for an excel­ lent professional haircut be­ fore the holiday rush. Perhaps you should update your hair color. Soft highlighting or special effects just might counteract the woes of winter. For lasting bounce ' A professional perm for ex­ tra body and hold could keep both your hair and spirit bouncy thoughout the holiday season. Your hairstylist has the ex­ pertise to advise you on a cus­ tom design for your hair. Take a tip from your professional for the ways to go and glow whether your hair is snort, medium, long, curly, wavy or straight. • Update your hair tools: if you're traveling over the holi­ days, you might think of hav- ing lightweight travel appliances, shampoos and conditioners, and easy-to-go hair care accessories. "Real holiday magic be­ gins with hair care, shine and sheen. Lustre and body are natural attributes of healthy holiday hair," says Hugh Harrison. "Whatever your look, it's really simple. 1 often suggest the Revlon Flex system of shampoos and conditioners. Depending on your hair type, choose the shampoo that's been formulated for your spe­ cific needs--normal, dry, oily orcolor-treated." INFORMAL HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES "Tis the season to be jolly" --but just how jolly is often the question. You would re­ ally like to entertain friends and relatives but, if the thought of a sit down dinner for 20 gives you a case of the jitters, you'd probably be bet­ ter off planning something relaxed and informal. A traditional tree-trimming party is a get-together every­ one--including you--is sure to enjoy. Many of your guests will probably decide to donate an ornament to the cause. You, as hostess, should provide the eggnog and cookies, tinsel, and baskets of popcorn and cranberries for stringing. * Holiday glamour A collection of hairtoys that range from simple tortoise shell combs to ornate oriental hair sticks are making hair fashion news this season. They add drama tq medium and longer hair in a matter of minutes. For those special holiday gatherings, you can add model-perfect fashion by in­ corporating a glint of gold and silver thread into a simple chi­ gnon, braid or top knot. It gives the look of an under-v stated jewelry accessory at a very small cost. Whatever form your holi­ day meny-making takes, let your hair down, let your hair shine--and be of good cheer!
