The holiday season is a whirlwind of festive gatherings, memorable moments, and, of course, countless photos! You want your hair to look stunning not just in person, but also to truly shine in every snapshot, whether it’s under bright flash or soft, natural light. Our Salon Antoine stylists have the secrets to achieving holiday hair that photographs beautifully.
Here’s how to ensure your locks are picture-perfect all season long:
Tips for Hair That Looks Good in Any Light
- Embrace Loose Curls: Tight, stiff curls can sometimes look dated or overly structured in photos. Opt for loose, bouncy curls that have natural movement. These tend to catch the light beautifully and create soft shadows that add dimension to your hair in pictures.
- Defined Waves are Your Friend: For a more polished look, defined waves (like classic S-waves or Hollywood waves) provide structure and glamour without being rigid. The distinct “bends” in the hair reflect light beautifully, making your hair look healthy and luxurious in photographs.
- Glossed Shine is a Must: Dull hair can disappear in photos. The key to photo-ready hair is incredible shine. A high-gloss finish makes your hair look vibrant, healthy, and expensive. It literally reflects the light, ensuring your strands pop on camera.
Our Product Picks for Photo-Ready Hair:
To achieve that enviable photographic finish, we recommend these stylist favorites:
- Wella Professionals Oil Reflections Luminous Smoothing Oil: This lightweight oil instantly adds luminosity and smoothness without weighing hair down. It’s fantastic for enhancing shine and making your hair look polished and luxurious in photos.
- Wella Professionals ColorMotion+ Leave-In Spray: Beyond protecting your color, this spray detangles, adds shine, and provides heat protection. It helps create a smooth canvas that reflects light evenly for that perfect photographic finish.
- Wella Professionals EIMI Glam Mist: For the ultimate finishing touch, a light mist of this shine spray provides a dazzling, high-gloss finish that will make your hair sparkle under any lighting conditions – ideal for those flash photos!
Ready for your close-up this holiday season? For truly unforgettable hair that photographs flawlessly, we highly recommend an in-salon blowout and gloss combination before your major events.
