Party Hairstyles For The Festive Season

‘Tis the season to be jolly… and to get your party look perfected.

If you’re like us, part of the excitement this season is organising your hair and beauty looks. But,  sometimes when you are stuck for inspiration this can become ever so slightly stressful. Sounds about right? Have no fear cause we are here to help you showcase a brand new hairstyle or a complete new look this season…  

Go Wavy

When you think of wavy hair your mind will go to beach waves to perfect a cool “I just came from the beach” summer style. But, this is also a stylish look in the winter months and one that has definitely proven popular recently..

 

 

Here at AL we love the sophisticated and glamorous look these waves give, perfect for party season. This can be done by a stylist but if you're leaving it late, don't worry, the newly released Qute Wide Styler - Volume 2  can create natural looking elegant waves in no time.

 

Go Short 

Nothing says more than a party style than a statement cut. If you’ve been thinking about cutting your locks shorter for a while, you should take this as a sign. 

And what better than to take some inspiration from these gorgeous styles from @tooperfecthair and @lusciouslocksbyseana...

 

 

Our hair extensions don't stop at those who dream of long locks, our ranges are also great for those that want to perfect their short hair and add some thickness and volume.

 

Go For An Updo 

Go for a sophisticated style this season and unveil a fabulous updo. 

With this look, the choices are endless so if this sounds like it could be one for you, where to start for inspiration can seem like an overwhelming task. This is where we come in, here are some of our favourite updo styles from @ashleigh_stewarthair, @extendedlengthssalon and @maxtateandco...

Velcro roller FAQs

  • Do Velcro rollers need heat to work? 

    Velcro hair rollers can be used to achieve stunning results with or without heat. Using your hair dryer to apply heat speeds up the setting process, delivering bouncy curls in minutes. 

    However, Velcro hair rollers can be worn to bed, where their clip-free design means they shouldn’t disturb your beauty sleep. Simply apply to dry hair as part of your bedtime routine, and wake up in 6–8 hours to effortless bounce. 

    Both heated and heat-free Velcro roller methods deliver impressive volume and hold. 

  • Can I use Velcro rollers on hair extensions?

    Velcro rollers can be used on human hair extensions just the same as your own hair. Follow all the instructions and advice in this guide to get the best results from Velcro-rolling your hair extensions, and take extra care to avoid tangling, especially close to the bonds.

  • What size of Velcro rollers should I use? 

    The best size of Velcro hair rollers depends on your desired look: 

    • Jumbo (2+ inches): Best for root lift and smoothing. 
    • Large (1.5–2 inches): Loose waves and mega volume. 
    • Medium (1–1.5 inches): Balanced volume with more definition. 
    • Small (0.5–1 inch): Tighter curls and bounce. 

  • Why do my rollers keep slipping out? 

    If your rollers keep slipping out, try working in smaller sections, add a spritz of texture spray, and secure withcurlerclipsfor extra hold.

  • Why do my curls look uneven? 

    Uneven results usually mean uneven rolling technique. To remedy this, keep your sections consistent, apply heat and cooling time evenly, and check your roller placement from root to tip. 

  • Can I combine Velcro rollers with other hair styling tools? 

    Velcro rollers play well with other hair styling tools. Use them after curling irons to lock curls in shape, or roll sections post-straightening for extra volume and smoothness. They’re also perfect for adding hidden lift to half-up styles or popping in after a blow-dry for a polished finish.

  • Should you put Velcro rollers in wet hair? 

    You should not apply rollers to wet hair. Instead, apply to almost dry or completely dry hair for best results. 

  • How long should you leave your hair in Velcro rollers? 

    If opting for a heat-free rolling technique, leave your hair in rollers for 6–8 hours for best results. Some people choose to do this overnight.  

    If setting your Velcro hair rollers with heat, they’ll be ready to remove in minutes. 

     Don’t underestimate the power of Velcro hair rollers – they’re a low-effort, high-impact tool that transforms flat hair into full-bodied drama. Ready to get unrivalled volume, shape, and bounce? Shop Velcro rollers here
