Elle Girl 5 Holiday Hair Tips

I was contacted by Elle Girl Magazine to give my 5 Hair tips for the Holidays. I was thrilled  to contribute to such a great magazine for young women.  I linked up with one of my favorite photographers, Joe, from Joe Crawford Photography to get just the right look to go along with my tips.  Models, Samantha Mally and Joasia Tomcyk, were also excited for the opportunity and a chance to get glammed up with their holiday looks I created for them.    There were so many great photos from the photo shoot I wanted to share the ones that didn't make the article. 

Little trick to create static. A balloon was perfect! It was alot of fun rubbing this all over Sam's head to get the static we needed for the shot. 

  Mermaid waves on Joasia is a perfect hair style for any occasion. Check out this one with a brooch as her accessory!

I wanted to show the versatility in mermaid waves. It can turn into a beautiful upstyle as well. .

Accessorizing is key to any look!

I had so much fun putting this article together for ELLE GIRL and loved the opportunity.  Check out the pictures that DID make the cut along with the Tips and How To's to get these great holiday looks.
