The Gisou Holiday Story  It’s baby Sam’s first Holiday Season! The family is finally complete. The excitement can be felt all around, except for Mosey, who can’t help but feel left out this season. Now that the family is growing, he’s unsure what his new role will be and if he still fits in the Gisou Family picture, not knowing that Negin and Maurits have something very special in mind for him. Mosey decides to run away, missing the gift that was left for him under the tree. He ventures off into the cold streets of London searching for a family to fit into. But no matter where Mosey goes and what he finds, nothing comes close to Negin and Maurits. Devastated, Negin and Maurits roam the streets of London, hanging up ‘MISSING’ posters and visiting pounds all over town. After hours of searching, Negin and Maurits start calling out for him, hoping their cries will be heard … and they are. Suddenly, Negin sees something far across the busy streets. “There he is!” Without missing a beat, Negin and Maurits start running towards the street to welcome their first boy, Mosey. They meet in front of a dark building, where they run into each other’s arms and embrace each other in a warm, loving hug. Discover Gisou Holiday stories of past seasons.

The holidays provide wonderful opportunities to spend time with family and friends, indulge in delicious food and drinks, and go to fancy events. Sadly, many of the things we enjoy about the hectic holiday season can also take a toll on our skin. But here’s the good news! Taking the proper steps with your holiday skincare routine and daily habits can help you maintain your glow and prevent breakouts, while still enjoying everything the season has to offer. Here are our top holiday skin care tips plus an easy holiday skin care routine to get your skin glowing throughout this festive season and keep it that way all year long.  4 Essential Holiday Skin Care Tips to Maintain Your Glow Between travel, celebrations, and hectic schedules, the holidays are the season for stressed out skin. The following tips are designed to minimize the effects of that stress on your skin while helping you maintain your glow and enjoy everything the season has to offer. Prioritize Sleep and Combat Stress With all the holiday preparations and evenings out, getting a good night’s sleep during the holiday season can be quite a challenge. But prioritizing sleep and keeping your stress level as low as possible is key for healthy-looking skin. Here’s why. When our bodies are asleep, the lymphatic system works to flush out toxins. Our brains also produce body-repairing hormones, such as growth hormones, which are required for cellular regeneration and repairing tissues. In addition, lack of sleep and chronic stress elevates cortisol levels, which is a stress hormone that can take a major toll on your skin. The skin is the body’s largest organ and it’s often the first place to show signs of stress and sleep deprivation, including dark circles and breakouts. The body needs at least 7 - 8 hours of sleep for optimal function and repair.  If you’re struggling to get a good night’s sleep, consider creating a bedtime self-care routine to relax your body and mind, get you ready for sleep, and lower your stress levels. Meditation, yoga, a relaxing bath, and performing your nighttime skincare routine are all healthy ways to de-stress at the end of a hectic day. Keep Your Sweet Tooth In Check While there’s no denying that delicious treats go hand in hand with the holidays, they can also wreak havoc on your skin. Too much sugar leads to a process called glycation, which happens when sugar binds to proteins and lipids in the body. Glycation can prevent your cells from functioning properly, contributing to increased free radical damage. As a result, the functions that keep your complexion looking youthful and glowing, namely collagen and elastin production, are compromised. Your skin will also be more vulnerable to environmental stressors, like sun and pollution. If you struggle to keep your sweet tooth in check during the holiday season, opt for healthier ways to satisfy your cravings. For example, berries and other fruits are sweet, yet healthy options that are full of antioxidants to combat free radical damage and protect the skin from premature aging. Limit Your Alcohol Intake Of course, you can enjoy a holiday cocktail or glass of wine occasionally, but keep in mind that the effects of overindulging in alcohol on the skin can be substantial.  Alcohol stimulates the release of histamine and the accumulation of acetaldehyde (the substance that alcohol breaks down into) in the body. This triggers the production of reactive free radicals, which damage the skin’s DNA and contribute to the breakdown of collagen, as well as potential inflammation and hyperpigmentation.  If you’re looking for a festive but skin-friendly option, consider a wine spritzer made with sparkling water and just a splash of red wine. Red wine is full of antioxidants, which are fantastic for the skin. Hydration is also crucial for healthy skin, so keep the water flowing to help overcome the effects of a few extra cocktails and lost sleep. Make Time to Remove Your Makeup Before Bed Feel free to up our makeup game for holiday parties, just be sure to remove it before bed. Leaving makeup on the skin overnight can clog your pores and create a breeding ground for bacteria, two major contributors to breakouts and uneven skin texture. Doing a double cleanse before bed is the best way to ensure that your skin is makeup free, but sometimes you’re just too tired. Keep a bottle of micellar water and some cotton rounds next to your bed for those nights when you just can’t be bothered to stand at the bathroom sink. An Easy Holiday Skin Care Routine for Glowing Skin As much as the holiday season is about giving and spending time with loved ones, we often get caught up in the details: hosting the perfect gathering, serving the perfect holiday meal, giving the perfect gift…the list goes on and on. This time of added stress combined with the colder, drier air takes a toll on our hair and skin. With all of that in mind, here is an easy holiday skin care routine to get you through the business with your radiance and glow intact. Step 1: Cleanse Thoroughly. Start off your morning and evening holiday skin care routine on a good note by thoroughly cleansing your skin. It might seem minor, but this step is essential, not only for keeping your skin breakout free but also for prepping the skin before applying makeup. At night, we recommend taking the extra time to do a double cleanse to thoroughly remove makeup.   Step 2: Exfoliate Often. Cold, dry air leads to flaky, dry skin that can build up on the skin’s surface, causing dullness and uneven skin tone and texture.  All skin types can benefit from exfoliating once or twice a week to polish away dead skin cells to refresh and revive your glow. It will also clear the way for other skin care products to penetrate more effectively. Incorporating honey into your holiday skin care routine provides gentle exfoliation and multiple anti-aging benefits. Step 3: Give Your Skin Some Love. Moisturize, hydrate, and protect your skin in one easy step with our Honey Infused Face Oil. This concentrated, antioxidant-rich formula absorbs quickly into the skin and contains 95.7% cold-pressed botanical oils, along with Mirsalehi honey to rejuvenate and nourish the skin. Honey Infused Face Oil works to promote a clearer complexion while addressing fine lines and preventing moisture loss. It also leaves behind a brighter, more radiant complexion when used on its own or under makeup. Or, mix a few drops into your favorite night cream or face mask for added benefits. Step 4: Don’t Forget About Those Lips The holiday season can often mean spending time outdoors in the cold air, which can cause dry, chapped lips. Keep them hydrated with our Honey Infused Lip Oil. It’s formulated with skin-loving botanical oils and the healing powers of Mirsalehi honey.  Apply it as needed throughout the day for a beautiful sheen or wear it as an overnight lip mask to intensify the effects.

Having an excuse to get dressed up is a huge part of what makes the holiday season so much fun! Nothing puts a smile on your face like planning your holiday party outfit and doing your hair and makeup with Christmas music playing in the background. When it comes to holiday parties, sparkles and bows are highly encouraged! Planning your holiday hairstyle early can save time and anxiety when you’re preparing for your special event, allowing you to enjoy the experience even more. Get inspired with these cute and easy holiday hairstyles for medium-length hair. Dress them up with your favorite holiday hair bling for that added sparkle we all love this time of year! 7 Easy Holiday Hairstyles for Medium-Length Hair Here are seven holiday hairstyles that make an impact, but are also easy to recreate and hassle-free.  1. Wet-Look Chignon If you’re looking for an easy, elegant style for second-day hair, this is the look for you. This style works best on medium-length straight or hair that’s been loosely curled.  To achieve this wet, sleek look, start by combing a pea-sized amount of Propolis Infused Polishing Primer through your hair from roots to ends, avoiding your bangs if you want to leave them out. Gather your hair into a low ponytail, leaving out some face-framing pieces, and secure it with a clear band. Twist the lengths of your hair into a messy bun and secure it with a hair tie that matches your hair color. You can let this simple, yet elegant hairstyle speak for itself or add a holiday hair accessory to complement your outfit. 2. French Braided Ponytail This style is a bit edgier than a traditional French Braid and it’s ideal for medium-length hair that has some shorter layers. It works best on hair that has a bit of grip and volume. If your hair is straight, start with a mist of Texturizing Wave Spray, scrunch, and air dry to add texture. Now, create a French Braid starting at your crown and stopping about midway down your head. You can stop at the level of your ears or go lower or higher, and leave out bangs or face-framing pieces, according to your preference. Secure the braid with an elastic band to create a ponytail. Add volume and texture by pulling on small sections of the braid.  As a bonus, this style can be converted to an edgy updo by wrapping the ends of your hair around the base of the pony and securing it with an elastic to create a messy bun.  3. Messy Top Knot This is such a simple and chic look that works with fine hair, straight hair, naturally curly hair, and everything in between. To add some texture and grip to fine hair, start by misting it lightly with Texturizing Wave Spray and scrunching to add volume. Leaving out a few face-framing pieces, rake your fingers through your hair, shaking gently at the roots for lift and volume, then gather it into a ponytail right at the base of your crown. Secure with an elastic band, then divide the hair into two or three sections and wrap each section loosely around the base of the pony.  Secure each section in place with bobby pins as you go to create a messy, voluminous topknot effect. Pull on small sections around your head to create more texture. Accessorize with some rhinestone hair pins, a small bow, or a sparkly hair comb to dress up the look. 4. Sleek with a Headband If your hair is already straight, this holiday hairstyle is easy to recreate on medium-length hair in minutes.  To get the look, run a flat iron through your hair to get it super straight. Apply a drop or two of Honey Infused Hair Oil through the lengths of your hair to eliminate frizz and add shine. Brush your hair behind your ears, leaving out face-framing pieces or bangs as desired. Add a holiday headband behind your ears and you’re done. 5. Space Buns If you want to be super cute for the holidays, try this easy holiday hairstyle for medium-length straight, wavy, or loosely curled hair. Start by misting your hair with Texturizing Wave Spray and parting it in the middle. Divide a small section on one side of your head, going from the top of your ear going toward the crown. Twist the hair into a little bun on the back of your head and secure it with a hair elastic. Repeat on the other side. Pull on a few small sections on each side to add texture, pin any loose hairs into place, and adjust the buns until they’re nearly even. Feel free to add some cute pom poms or sparkly accessories to dress up the look.  6. Half-Up with a Bun This holiday hairstyle is perfect for naturally curly hair, but it will work for medium-length wavy or straight hair, too. If your hair needs a bit of texture, scrunch in some Texturizing Wave Spray and let your hair air dry before creating the style. To achieve this style, place a pea-sized amount of Propolis Infused Polishing Primer into the palms of your hands and slick the top half of your hair into a half-ponytail in the center of the back of your head.  Now, twist your hair to form a loose, textured bun and pin it in place, leaving out the ends for an edgy look. Tie a ribbon around the bun or add a small bow to one side for a festive look. 7. High Pony with a Velvet Bow Nothing says Christmas like a velvet bow and it’s a soft, plush accent that’s perfect for any holiday party or special event. Dress up this medium-length holiday hairstyle even more by creating a flip at the end of your pony! To get the look, apply a few drops of Honey Infused Hair Oil to straight hair. Brush your hair into a sleek, shiny high ponytail and secure it with a clear elastic band. Feel free to leave out your bangs or a few pieces to frame your face. Using a large-barreled curling iron and a round brush, flip up the ends of your pony. Spritz lightly with Texturizing Wave Spray for a soft hold and tie a large velvet bow at the base of the pony to accessorize.

With the holiday season approaching, your calendar is likely filling up with gatherings and celebrations. No doubt, you want to look festive and polished all throughout the party season! Thankfully, pixie cuts, shoulder-length bobs, and other short haircuts are very popular right now, and they’re super easy to style!  From beautiful accessories that add a touch of glamor to simple twists and half-up, swept-back styles, there are lots of ways to make short hair look fabulous - even when you only have minutes to spend on your hair! Here are our top styling tips, plus a roundup of effortless and elegant holiday hairstyles for short hair to inspire you. Holiday Styling Tips for Short Hair If you recently took the plunge and got that new short haircut you’ve been itching to try, you might be wondering how to make short hair look glamorous for the holidays. Learning to style short hair is often easier than you might think, and we’ve got some tips to help you get started. Learn to Work With Your Hair’s Natural Texture Embracing your natural texture will make styling short hair so much easier on a daily basis and for special occasions. It also saves time and wear and tear on your hair, since you won’t be subjecting it to heat styling as often. Look for multi-tasking products that will enhance your hair’s natural texture.  For example, Texturizing Wave Spray adds hold and definition without stiffness, so it’s perfect for enhancing naturally curly and wavy hair or fine hair that needs volume. Honey Infused Hair Oil adds shine and hydration and fights frizz, making it perfect for styling straight hair or curly hair that needs hydration. Start Your Styling Routine the Night Before Creating a functional, bedtime styling routine is a smart way to save time in the morning, especially during the hectic holiday season. Sleeping with your hair in foam rollers, pin curls, braids, or even a bun will add varying amounts of curl, wave, and texture, depending on the look you’re going for.  Scrunching in a bit of Texturizing Wave Spray before and after your chosen curling method will give even more definition and volume, while also providing hold. When you release your hair in the morning, run your fingers through it gently and apply a few drops of Honey Infused Hair Oil for added hydration, shine, and frizz control. Wear it as is, or use it as a starting point for your favorite updo or half-up holiday hairstyle. Change Up Your Part If you’re struggling to create new looks with short hair, consider changing up your part. Middle, side, and deep parts take seconds to achieve, and they can change your look entirely, whether it’s pixie short or longer. To change up your part, start by applying Texturizing Wave Spray to the roots. Then blow dry and style in the direction you want it to part. Feel free to straighten, curl, or even spike up your hair to create your own signature, special occasion look. 10 Effortless and Elegant Holiday Hairstyles for Short Hair Here are ten holiday hair ideas for short hair to inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and try something new! 1. Side Twists Perfect for naturally curly hair, this look involves creating a row of chic side twists on one side of your head. The twists are easiest to create on freshly washed, still-damp hair. Start by spritzing your curls with our Leave-In Conditioner, followed by a few drops of Honey-Infused Hair Oil for softness, shine, and frizz prevention. Use a comb to create a small side section above your ear. Turn that section into three or four small twists starting at the front of your head and going about halfway to the back. Secure each twist with a clear elastic. Add some sparkly bobby pins to finish off the look and secure the twists close to your head. 2. High Bun If your hair is bob length or longer and you can’t be bothered to curl or straighten it, a high bun is the perfect holiday style for you. Air-dried hair is ideal for this look because it gives the hair a bit of texture to create a more edgy, messy look.  Spritz your hair with Texturizing Wave Spray to add some grip, then gather it into a high ponytail on top of your head. Begin wrapping the pony with a hair band, but on the final wrap, pull the hair only about a third of the way through to create a loop. Loosen the loop to give it texture. Wrap the ends around the hair band and secure it in place with a bobby pin. Pull out a few face-framing pieces and add a festive accessory to glam up the look, if desired. 3. French Twist A French Twist is the perfect look for bob length or longer hair, especially if you’re into the model-off-duty vibe. This look is easy to dress up for the holidays with some sparkly hair accessories, too. The look starts with dry hair and a clean center part. Use our Texturizing Wave spray and our Curling Tool to create messy volume. Then, gather your hair into a loose ponytail at the nape of your neck. Roll your hair up the back of your head, tucking in the ends as you go. Use bobby pins to secure the roll in place, then pull out a few small sections to frame your face. This style is classic and beautiful as is, but you can glam it up even more with a pretty hair comb or some decorative hair pins. 4. Half Up with a Bow If you’re all about super easy, extra cute looks for the holiday season, this hairstyle is for you. The look starts with messy curls, so it’s perfect for second-day hair, too.  Spritz your hair with our Texturizing Wave Spray and scrunch for extra volume. Gather a section of hair at your crown, teasing it underneath to create lift. Now add a small section from the front on each side to create a half-up, half-down ponytail and secure it with a clear elastic band. Tie a red ribbon around the elastic and you’re ready for any holiday party! 5. Braided Tiara This easy braided look is the perfect half-up holiday hairstyle for short hair when you want to look elegant and sophisticated. Start with your hair curled into loose waves using our Honey-Infused Hair Primer to provide frizz-free, workable hold. Take a small section of hair above and behind each ear and braid it to the end, securing the end with a bobby pin. Tug the braids apart gently to add volume, then pull them over your head to the other side and pin them in place behind your ear. Now create a second braid on each side, right behind the first. Secure with a bobby pin, loosen, and wrap it around your head, pinning it behind the first one to create the illusion of a tiara. 6. Braided Bun If your hair is chin length or longer, a braided bun is an easy holiday hairstyle that’s super fun to create. All you need is a hair donut, some tiny hair elastics, and our Texturizing Wave Spray for extra hold and grip. Start by scrunching the wave spray into your hair and splitting it into two equal sections. Clip the top section out of your way and pull the bottom section into a low bun using the hair donut. Now let down the top section and create two or three dutch braids on either side of your head, going towards the bun and securing with a clear hair elastic. Now tug carefully on the braids to loosen them and add fullness. Wrap the ends of the braids around the bun and tuck them underneath to keep them in place. Feel free to use bobby pins if needed for extra hold. 7. Creative Hair Accessories Hair accessories can add a touch of glam to curly, wavy, or straight short hair in seconds. Start by running a drop or two of our Honey Infused Hair Oil through your hair to add shine and fight frizz.  Get creative with a fun metallic headband, pull back the hair on one side with a sparkly hair comb, or pull your hair back into a half-up style with a rhinestone barrette. If you’re feeling extra creative, you can make your own holiday hair accessories by gluing tiny trinkets like bows or presents onto bobby pins and using them to pull your hair back to one side. 8. Voluminous Fauxhawk This edgy holiday hairstyle is ideal for naturally curly, chin to shoulder length hair. Often called the pineapple technique, this style is achieved by simply pulling your curls into a high ponytail on the top of your head. To get the look, start by spritzing your hair with our Texturizing Wave Spray. Scrunch as needed to add volume and definition to your natural curls. Now gather your hair into a high pony and wrap it loosely with a large ponytail holder to create extra volume.  Finish off the look by pulling the front section forward to create a faux fringe and edgy mohawk vibe that’s perfect for holiday parties!  9. ‘60s Flip The ‘60s Flip is easy to achieve and it’s glamorous enough for even the dressiest holiday occasion. This look requires a bit of heat styling, so you’ll want to start by applying our Propolis Infused Heat Protecting Spray. Now section your hair into two sections. Starting with the bottom section, use a flat iron to straighten the lengths of your hair, adding a twist at the ends to flip them out. Once your entire head is complete, part as desired and tuck your hair behind your ears for a ‘60s vibe. Run a few drops of Honey Infused Hair Oil through the lengths of your hair to amp up the shine, then spritz the ends with a bit of Texturizing Wave Spray to hold the flip in place. A velvet or satin headband adds the perfect finishing touch to this look. 10. Slicked Back Hair It’s easy to achieve the ultra-chic, wet look of slicked-back hair when your hair is short. This look is ideal for straight hair that’s a pixie, bob, or lob length and adds instant polish to any outfit. Start with freshly washed hair, spritz with Heat Protectant Spray, and blow dry. Use your straightener to smooth out any waves or curls. Now, use a comb to section off your crown and tease gently to add lift and fullness. Brush your hair straight back and use a dime-sized amount of our Propolis Infused Polishing Primer to hold the hair in place. Add a few drops of Honey Infused Hair Oil to add shine and tame baby hairs. Smooth out the hair with a fine-toothed comb and you’re done!

The holiday season is one of the most highly anticipated times of the year. But with all the cooking, baking, cleaning, shopping, and party planning that goes hand in hand with the holidays, you’re likely to be busier than usual. Taking care of yourself might fall to the bottom of your priority list, but you still want to look your best for all of those holiday parties. Unfortunately, our favorite hairstyles for holiday parties often require a special trip to the salon or hours at home to recreate. Who has time for that? This year, we’ve rounded up 10 easy holiday hair ideas you can recreate at home with minimal fuss. From sleek ponytails to classic updos and easy half-up styles to romantic waves, these timeless hairstyles for holiday parties will have you looking stunning in no time. Tips for Creating Holiday Hairstyles at Home Prep Your Hair with Hair Primer: Whether you’re starting your style with perfect loose curls or pin straight hair, prepping your hair with hair primer before you begin styling will help you achieve the look you’re going for in less time. Our Propolis Infused Polishing Primer provides workable hold to any style, while also reducing frizz, enhancing volume, and leaving the hair softer and less prone to damage. Apply it to damp or dry hair before styling, or use a tiny amount to smooth away flyaways when you’re going for a sleek ponytail or updo. Create Volume, Texture, and Heatless Waves with Texturizing Wave Spray: Our Propolis Infused Texturizing Wave Spray isn’t just for creating the perfect beachy wave. It can also be used to add body, texture, and volume to just about any hairstyle, from short to long. Mist our texturizing wave spray onto damp or dry hair and allow it to air dry or blow dry with a diffuser, scrunching to add lift and volume. Or apply it to towel-dried hair and sleep with your hair in braids or a bun overnight for heatless waves, the perfect start to many updos. Our texturizing wave spray can also be used at the end of your styling routine to add piecey texture. Or use it to add flexible hold to your curls without the stiffness or stickiness that can be an issue with a conventional flexible hold hairspray. Finish Your Style with Hair Oil: Dry, brittle, dull hair just isn’t cute, and it’s hard to style. Our Honey Infused Hair Oil is the ultimate multi-tasking product for adding extra shine and glow to  special occasion hairstyles. Apply a few drops of honey hair oil as the finishing touch after you style your hair to smooth, soften, tame frizz, and add shine. Or, apply it before air drying or blow drying hair to infuse the hair with moisture and radiant shine.  Frame Your Face: When creating an updo or ponytail hairstyle, consider leaving out side-swept bangs or even just some random pieces to frame your face. Unless you’re going for a slicked-back look, a few face-framing pieces can really soften the style and create an elegant, yet tousled look. Negin’s favorite way to add a little texture is by using her fingers to distribute some Texturizing Wave Spray through the front pieces of her hair. 10 Easy Holiday Hair Ideas These easy holiday hair ideas can be achieved at home with minimal fuss. They’re also elegant and timeless hairstyles that are perfect for any special occasion, from an office Christmas party to a New Year celebration, and everything in between. Bubble Ponytail The Bubble Ponytail is an extremely versatile holiday hair idea for anyone with medium to long hair. It works well on straight, curly, or wavy hair and you can make your straight back sleek or part it according to your preference. Prep your damp hair with hair primer and allow it to dry naturally for added texture, or blow dry it straight, according to your preference. Pull your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a festive hair tie or scrunchie. Add additional hair ties moving down the length of your hair, spaced about three inches apart. Now tug on each section to add volume and create a “bubble” effect. Voluminous Curly High Pony If you’ve got naturally curly hair, a voluminous curly high ponytail is the perfect go-to hairstyle for the holiday season. Start by enhancing your natural curls with our Propolis Infused Texturizing Wave spray.  Now, gather the top half of your hair into a super high ponytail with a clear elastic. Then, gather the rest of your hair into a ponytail just below the first one. If your hair is straight, add curls to your ponytails using a curling tool. Finish the style by hiding the elastic at the top of your head with a ribbon, bow, or festive hair accessory. Elegant Ponytail Updo This elegant holiday hairstyle is kind of like a hybrid between a ponytail and an updo. It’s perfect for those times when you want something fancy that will last all night and doesn’t require bobby pins. To pull it off, pull the top section of your hair into a half-up ponytail, securing it at the top of your head with a clear elastic band. Hide the band with a small section of hair, tucking the ends into the band to secure it in place. Now, gather the rest of your hair and the hair from your first ponytail into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Gently loosen sections of the ponytail to add volume and give it a tousled look. Tie a pretty ribbon around the ponytail to hide the elastic band and you’re done.  Easy Half-Up Holiday Hair Do Half-up hairdos are an excellent compromise for those who love to wear their hair down but don’t want it in their face. This easy half-up holiday hairdo can be pulled off in two minutes or less with a little practice, and it’s perfect for straight, wavy, or curly medium to long hair. Simply take an equal section from each side of your face, right above your ears, twist it, and secure it with an elastic band. Now pull the sections back and secure them together with a single elastic band. Remove the elastics from the end of each section, loosen the hair at your crown, and add a festive bow or hair accessory to cover the band. Sleek High Ponytail You can’t go wrong with a sleek, high ponytail for just about any holiday occasion, and this style couldn’t be easier to create at home. Apply a few drops of honey hair oil to the lengths of your hair, brush it into a smooth, high ponytail, and secure it with an elastic. Wrap a small section of hair around the base of the pony to conceal the band and secure it with a bobby pin. Tame any baby hairs and flyaways by adding a pea-sized amount of polishing primer to a toothbrush or spoolie and gently brushing down the hair.  Classic Topknot Bun You don’t have to be a ballerina to wear a beautiful, classic topknot bun. This look is polished and can go from the office to any holiday occasion. To achieve the look, start by pulling your hair into a high ponytail and securing it with an elastic band. Wrap your hair loosely around the ponytail, securing it into a loose topknot with bobby pins as you go. Spritz with texturizing spray and pull out small pieces around your head to create a looser, textured look. Add a festive bow and you’re ready for any holiday party. French Braided Bun If you don’t already know how to French braid your hair, it’s worth taking the time to learn because it’s an easy starting point for many versatile hairstyles. To create a French braided bun, start by tying a long skinny scarf into the center section of your braid at the top of your crown. French braid as you normally would, incorporating the tails of the scarf into the two side sections. When you reach the end of your braid, use the tails of the scarf to wrap your hair into a low bun, adding bobby pins as needed to secure the bun at the nape of your neck. Add extra texture, volume, and hold with our Propolis Infused Texturizing Wave Spray. Textured Low Bun It doesn’t get much easier than an elegant, textured low bun. Simply brush your second-day hair into a smooth, low ponytail. Twist your hair into a bun at the nape of your neck and secure it with an elastic band.  Spritz your hair with Texturizing Wave Spray and pull out small pieces to add volume and texture. Add a festive hairband or a few pearl hair accessories for an extra spirited look. Half-Up Bubble Ponytail The Bubbly Half-Up Ponytail is the perfect holiday hairstyle because it provides lots of opportunities to add pretty hair accessories. It works beautifully on medium to long hair, from straight to curly. To pull it off, simply pull your hair into a half-up ponytail at the top of your head with a clear elastic. Working your way down the ponytail, add another elastic every 3 - 4 inches. Tug at each section to add volume and create a bubble look. Now, add your favorite holiday hair accessories to cover the elastics, such as barrettes, bows, or ribbons. Retro Waves Retro waves are classic, timeless, and elegant. They can be left down, accessorized with a headband, pulled into a ponytail or updo, or secured on one side with a barrette or bobby pins and a holiday hair accessory.  All you need to do is curl your hair with a large barrel curling iron. Once your hair is completely cool, apply a few drops of hair oil and brush through gently with a natural bristle brush to loosen the curls into smooth, loose retro waves. Style and accessorize as desired.  The Perfect Finishing Touch Gisou Honey Infused Hair Perfume provides the perfect finishing touch for every day and holiday hairstyles. Use it as the final step in your styling routine to leave a trail of delicious floral notes wherever you go and give your hair an extra boost of moisture and shine. Now available in our signature Gisou fragrance and the limited edition Honey Infused Hair Perfume - Floral Edition!
