Holiday Hair Accessories

For Short Hair

With this length, aim for one small, subtle accessory, lest a grouping overpower your face. Keeping it in the same color family as your hair ensures a natural, tasteful effect.

• Apply a quarter-size drop of thickening serum to damp hair to “give it some texture and body once it’s dry,” says Serafino. Blow-dry with a flat brush, smoothing down bangs.
• Distribute a dime-size amount of pomade through the ends of the hair for separation and to add shine.
• Sweep your bangs to the side and, using the outer corner of your eyebrow as a guideline, secure them with a clip or a bobby pin.
