Everyone wants to look their best during the holiday season – from festive events with family and friends to work Christmas parties – December is often dotted with important dinner and drink dates.  Thankfully, with a little help from a few grooming and styling products, you can look effortless and chic (ladies!) or handsome and sharp (gentlemen!).  

The first step to looking well-manicured and groomed for the festive season is removing those stray and unwanted hairs. Ladies, keep your legs smooth and silky with the Finishing Touch Flawless Body or the Remington Smooth and Silky Ultimate Shave and Trim, which also comes with a bikini trimmer, storage bag and exfoliating glove for a great price. This product keeps your body hair-free and your wallet happy! If you prefer a more permanent solution, try the SmoothSkin Bare Plus IPL Long Term Hair Removal. This clever device is designed to help break the hair cycle and prevent regrowth. With 100 flashes per minute, SmoothSkin Bare Plus is the fastest on the market and will completely replace your shaving routine.

Gentlemen, say goodbye to the scruffy look and maintain the beard with ease by using the Wahl Optimus Lithium Ion Beard Trimmer. This high-performance rechargeable trimmer is ideal for use on beards, stubble, necklines and sideburns. Better yet, the technology allows up to 180 minutes cordless run time from only a one-hour charge, so you can take it on holidays wherever you go! Don’t forget those stray ear and nose hairs too! Try the Wahl Wet/Dry Nose Ear & Brow Trimmer– it comes with two interchangeable head attachments for easy grooming.

Party season calls for a myriad of sleek and stylish hair looks. To create a smooth, natural finish or for fast-drying, the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer should be high on your wishlist. The wider, thinner design of the re-engineered styling concentrator creates a high-velocity blade of air that is perfect for hair styling. Looking for a smooth finish, try the Remington Curl & Straight Confidence Straightener - the ultra-smooth ceramic-coated plates infused with anti-static tourmaline provides an effortless glide to give you frizz-free shine, brighter than Christmas lights. For a salon-quality finish, you can’t go past the ghd platinum+ styler. As the world’s first smart styler, it predicts your hair needs and adapts to ensure the optimum styling temperature at all times. Or if you prefer big and bouncy curls, try the Flair 32mm Curl Tong for quick styling and beautiful, long-lasting curls.

Expert tip: To protect your locks, ensure a heat protectant is used before styling. The Flair Heat Protect Spray creates a safety barrier and adds moisture. Simply spritz the light mist evenly onto towel-dried hair.
