Happy, party festive hair incoming. Kudos to Olivia Garden – the brush people you met at Colour World this Summer. They’ve transitioned into Winter with some fab holiday hair styling tips.
Get your looks! Party-style
Sharing their nous and experience, Olivia Garden invited some of the UK’s most savvy hair professionals to share their top festive season styling tips. We’ve got the intel, from updos to curls, and how the right brush can make all the difference. It’s easy when you know how…This holiday season will be busy, so be prepped and ready to help clients look and feel their best.
Amie Sillis: Olivia Garden Educator
Faster festive blow-drys: Amie says: “December is an incredibly busy month for hairdressers, so anything that saves time is essential. The Olivia Garden Speed Brush speeds up drying time significantly, helping you stay on schedule during the festive rush. It’s also brilliant for clients with extensions, as extensions hold more water and normally take longer to dry.”
Quicker Colour Touch-Ups: Amie moves onto speedy colour, too: “For colour refreshes and blending appointments, the Olivia Garden Essential Style Blend Brush is a game-changer. It helps blend the root area quickly and evenly, giving that soft, lifted finish while keeping services efficient during a packed salon day.”
Winter = More Treatments: And for the extra needy hair that needs TLC, Amie says: “Cold weather and indoor heating mean hair dries out faster. It’s the perfect time to upsell in-salon treatments. The Double Bristle Fingerbrush or the Essential Style Blend Brush are ideal for brushing treatments through the hair gently and evenly.”
At-Home Essentials: Amie has advice you can share: “The Boar & Nylon Fingerbrush is the core brush I recommend for clients at home. It’s gentle on sensitive scalps, helps prevent matting between tapes, wefts or nanos, and detangles without pulling. It’s a brilliant retail tool for clients wanting to look after their hair over the holiday season.”
Post-Party Product Detox: “For clients focusing on hair health, particularly those who love at-home masks or have extensions, the Double Bristle Fingerbrush is ideal. It moves gently through the hair and around extension bonds, helping distribute treatment products without causing tension or breakage. After a night out, hair can feel heavy with product build-up. I always recommend clients the Boar & Nylon Fingerbrush for a gentle, yet effective brush-out. It distributes natural oils and smooths hair without pulling, leaving it shiny and refreshed for the next style.”
Louis Driver, Freelance Stylist and Educator
Glossy Blow-Drys: Louise advises careful choices in which brushes to use for the perfect shine: “I genuinely love my Olivia Garden brushes, especially at this time of year when clients are hopping from one festive event to the next and their hair needs to stay healthy, silky and perfectly prepped. The Essential Style Blend and the Boar & Nylon Fingerbrush are my constant go-to’s as they give me the perfect mix of tension and flexibility. They glide through tangles, minimise breakage and even help remove any product build-up from the night before.
They create the clean, smooth foundation I need for everything from glossy party blow-dries to soft Christmas waves and textured updos. The ergonomic design, durability and gentle feel make them total staples in my kit, whether I’m in the salon or on set, I even reach for them on my own hair. They’re reliable, beautifully made, and keep hair looking polished through every festive moment.” –
Anne Veck, Educator and Olivia Garden Ambassador
Defined Curls: A real expert in curl management, Anne has this to share: “For defined, shiny curls with zero frizz, the Double Bristle Fingerbrush is your client’s magic wand. For clients demanding Vavavoom volume this festive season I recommend the MultiBrush, the all-in-one tool for creating any professional, party-ready look.”
