Holiday Hair Inspiration + a Quick Giveaway

Thursday, December 26, 2013

Happy Day-After-Christmas, friends! We're still in Virginia until Saturday, but after that Rob and I have plans for a quiet and romantic New Year's Eve dinner at Fogo de Chao in Minneapolis. I'm really looking forward to getting dressed up and spending our last unmarried NYE together. In 2014, we'll be Mr. and Mrs. Peterson! I'm planning to put on a fancy dress, some heels, and do something really fun with my hair.

I'm not too much of an up-do lady, although I love an elegant up-do for really special events, I usually show up to a holiday party with my normal hair--curled, but maybe with a bit more volume than usual. I'm a fan of vintage styles, and really love the whole victory roll look (as you can see here). For our New Year's Eve dinner, I want to try something similar to that, but maybe a bit less costume-y. Lucky for me, Pantene sent a huge box of awesome products to help make my holiday hair styling a breeze.


Read further to check out the style I'm using for inspiration, the Pantene products, and to win a set of your own!


I came across this tutorial in Cosmopolitan the other day and just really loved it. I'm not sure how it's going to work with my bangs but I'm excited to give it a try!

This is what Pantene sent me:
Pantene Heat Shield Shampoo + Conditioner
Pantene Advanced + Keratin Repair KeraGloss Oil Mist
Pantene Smooth with Argan Oil Shine Serum
Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Silky Moisture Whip
Pantene Stylers Extra Strong Shaping Hairspray
Pantene Root Lifter Spray Gel
Pantene Volume Triple Action Volume Mousse
Pantene Stylers Heat Protection Spray


Want to win a Pantene package for yourself? Simply comment on this post and tell me your New Year's Eve plans! Don't forget to enter in Rafflecopter below! I'll pick a winner tomorrow.

  13. Pantene has a lot of new products out that I want to try, like the moisture whip and argan oil shine serum. My long, thick hair tends to get dry and kind of limp in the winter months, so products like those really help keep it looking healthy.

    My New Year's plans? Celebrating my sister's birthday (she's a NYE baby!) with a small group of friends. Plenty of paleo apps and fun cocktails! :)
