When it comes to party hair, I think ambition needs to be balanced with reality. Would we like to do a big bouncy blowdry with bows? Of course we would. Will it be utterly destroyed by the oddly prevalent wind tunnels in the Underground and that odd drizzle that seems to mysteriously descend whenever a big event is about to happen? Of course it will.
Add in the factor of not quite enough time — and in likelihood — energy needed to be distributed between outfit, make-up, and nails. Unless a hairdresser is involved, you’re unlikely to spend the scarce time between wrapping presents or lying on the sofa watching one of Netflix’s best Christmas shows than doing something complex to your hair.
