5 Hacks To Achieve Show-Stopping Hair Without the Price Tag
December often comes with a calendar full of parties, events, and festive celebrations. And we do love a party!.... However, the constant events and parties can quickly strain your budget! Especially if you’re frequently buying products, touching up your colour, or booking blowouts.
But who says you need a salon visit or a big budget to achieve gorgeous party curls?
With a little creativity, your favourite Lohy. products, and these #5PartyHacks, you can create show stopping hairstyles right at home!
Party Curls Hack #1: Set The Foundation
Great curls start with a solid base. Before styling, cleanse and hydrate your hair to ensure it’s in tip-top shape.
In the weeks leading up to a party, give your curls a little TLC with a hydrating hair mask. November is the month you want to start pumping some hydration into your curls, especially if they’re coarser in texture, like Type 3c or Type 4 Afro Hair.
Before a big event, cleanse with a curl-friendly shampoo & conditioner to refresh your hair, followed by a lightweight leave-in or curl cream like Cruise Control to lock in moisture. Prepping your curls this way ensures they look their best and hold up through the night’s festivities.
Party Curls Hack #2: Add Sparkle With Accessories
No need to splurge on expensive extras. Clips, ribbons, or even a festive scrunchie can add instant glamour to your look. A touch of sparkle or colour can transform any hairstyle into a party-ready masterpiece.
Bonus: These accessories are inexpensive, reusable, and endlessly customisable!
Party Curls Hack #3: Keep Products Minimal
Less is more when it comes to styling. You don’t need a cabinet full of products (guilty!!!!) and if you’re watching the budget over Christmas, stick to 1 or 2 that you know work really well for your hair. Lohy. products are available in 800ml refillable pouches, making it easy to top up your favourite products while reusing your existing bottles. Plus, dropping a hint to Santa for some Lohy. goodies might just be the best gift idea yet!
Pro Tip: For defined, frizz-free curls, try Cruise Control Curl Defining Cream or Hold It Shimmer Hairspray for long-lasting hold. A little goes a long way, saving you money and effort while delivering flawless results.
Party Curls Hack #4: YouTube Is Your New Bestie
Not sure how to create that perfect updo or cascade of curls? Head to YouTube! There are countless tutorials for quick, stylish looks that are easy to follow and best of all, budget-friendly. videos and tutorials for you to check out.
If YouTube isn’t your thing, don’t worry, TikTok and Instagram are packed with quick, easy-to-follow how-to videos. And let’s not forget Lohy.’s Curl Friends Facebook group, where you’ll find plenty of Live tutorials and styling inspiration to explore!
Party Curls Hack #5: DIY Styling Tools
You don’t need fancy gadgets to achieve stunning party curls. Use what you already have at home! Our Curl Hydration Glove works wonders for absorbing excess moisture, however a cotton t-shirt for plopping will do just fine! Finger coiling your curls for extra definition, or a pair of old socks (not too old though) rolled up creates no-heat waves.
These simple DIY tricks are not only budget-friendly but also help protect your hair from excessive heat styling, keeping it healthy and gorgeous right into the New Year.
