Getting race day ready in the office
Don’t let work stop you from dressing up for the Melbourne Cup. While you might need to stick to business attire, your hairstyle can get you in the racing spirit – and will often be your best accessory.
For hairstyles that look suitably stylish but don’t look out of place at your morning meetings, try a low side bun with a braid, an easy chignon or a neat bun with a small fascinator to embellish. Be sure to
How to wear a fascinator in the office:
If you are wearing a fascinator, make sure you choose a hairstyle to suit its style. Opting for something simple and elegant typically works best. Part your hair on the opposite side that your fascinator will sit. If you are wearing a big hat, avoid hat hair by wearing curls or a loose bun
The perfect hairstyle for your colleague to help with in the office:
The French roll hairstyle is a racing favourite, and one that isn’t too difficult with the help of a colleague for the finishing touch!
- The day before, blow dry your hair with the Philips MoistureProtect Hair Dryer, running your fingers through it rather than a brush to enhance natural waves. If you have particularly dry hair, use the moisture button to help moisture preservation.
- With your fingers, gently brush all hair back as if you are going to put it in a mid-ponytail.
- Follow your fingers through until you reach the ends and start to roll hair to the left or right side until it rolls to your head.
- Let a colleague help you pin the twist securely to the rest of your hair, finish with some holding spray.
From the office to after work celebrations hairstyles:
Great hairstyles that work perfectly from work to celebrations include an elegant ponytail or a messy braided bun, which you take out for a wavy hair look outside of the office.
I always recommend carrying a compact hairspray and brush, like the Philips Ionic Styling Brush, in your bag to give your hair a touch-up before leaving the office!
