From lively watch parties to stylish luncheons and glamorous race-day events, there are so many ways to celebrate in style. And we’ve got your hair covered with tips and must-have products, so you can look fabulous from the first cheers to the final toast. Here’s how to keep your style looking fresh and flawless all day long!
Start Strong: Prep Your Hair for Long-Lasting Style
The secret to keeping your style picture-perfect all day begins before you even leave. Start with products that build volume, and texture, and hold for a style that endures – so you can focus on enjoying the festivities!
Must-Have Product:
Kerastase Volumifique Mousse – This lightweight mousse adds volume and grip, creating a base that helps keep your style in place. Work it through towel-dried hair, focusing on the roots, for a lift that lasts all day.
Opt for a Resilient Style
For a race day look that stays fabulous from the first sip to the last toast, go for a hairstyle built to last! Updos, low ponytails, and braided styles are perfect for holding their shape through hours of socializing. If you’d rather wear your hair down, loose waves or beachy curls offer a carefree look without the risk of going flat or frizzy.
Epic Pro Tip:
Try a textured updo or low ponytail with soft face-framing pieces for a polished yet relaxed look. These styles are easy to refresh and maintain their shape beautifully all day.
Fight the Frizz
Humidity or a breezy day can invite frizz, but with a little prep, you can keep that polished finish. Start with an anti-frizz serum or oil to keep your style looking smooth and sleek.
Must-Have Product:
Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil – This lightweight oil controls frizz, smooths flyaways, and adds a touch of shine without weighing hair down. You can apply it to your ends before styling for a glossy, frizz-free finish.
Prepare for Queensland Weather
Weather can be unpredictable, so let’s prep your style to handle a bit of humidity or a warm afternoon. No matter what Queensland throws at you, you’ll be ready!
