Shhh. Can you hear that? If you listen closely you’ll hear the sound of hundred of blow-dry appointments being slotted into salons around the country. Whether it’s for final pre-Christmas drinks or New Years Eve, scheduling in a blow-dry takes the pressure off come party time. When it comes time to hit the tools though, save your money and tears by being specific – because after all, everyone’s version of “beachy waves” or “just a bit of volume” is very different. Whether you’re after Victoria’s Secret-style, bombshell waves, straight with a touch of texture or glossy s-bends, find your picture reference below. Don’t go to the salon without it.
