Tis the season for festive, embellished updos and your short-haired clients want in on the fun! So while in Toronto for the Schwarzkopf Professional #newwaveskp collab, we captured an exclusive upstyling how-to from BTC Team Member Maggie Hancock (@maggiemh) that is quick to recreate on bobs and lobs! Keep reading to get the steps for this holly-adorned, party-ready style.   (more…)

    Then, spray Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Refresh Dust and OSiS+ Session Label Texture Hairspray throughout to give the hair some extra grit and texture.

    Starting right behind the ear, take a zigzag parting on a diagonal up toward the crown on each side of the head and secure the top section into a topknot with bobby pins.

     

    Note: Maggie says a zigzag part will help to prevent harsh straight lines between each section.

    Continue this same technique down the head until you have four buns, then carefully pull at the front section so the overall style looks softer.

    Spray some OSiS+ Session Label Texture Hairspray to ensure the knots stay in place.

    Then, strategically insert the holiday embellishment of your choice and secure with pins. For this style, Maggie took a long stem of holly and wrapped it around each of the knots.

     

    Pro Tip: Want to extend the life of this holiday look so she can rock it any time of year? Opt to incorporate florals or ribbons instead!
