Show Some Style on Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is not all about presents and celebratory brunches – we know, it’s actually about looking as hot as we possibly can so it will sting less when our mom berates us for not yet making her a grandmother.

And, while it’s likely we will spend most of the day tearing our hair out anyway, we should at least start it out looking fabulous. Suave Celebrity Hairstylist Luke O’Connor was cool enough to share some hot looks to get us from brunch to breakdown. (Sorry mommy, I love you!)

Stunning and Simple Side Bun

* For smooth and frizz-free locks, prep hair with Suave Professionals Sleek Shampoo and Conditioner.
* Next, give hair body and control by applying Suave Professionals Extra Hold Styling Foam to damp hair.
* Gather the top layer of hair and pin up at the crown. Blow-dry the rest of hair in sections using a medium round brush to lock in volume. Unpin hair at the crown and blow dry in 1 inch sections using the round brush.
* Blow dry bangs by rolling the hair around the brush away from the face and directed to the side for swooping bangs. Keep side-swept bangs locked in place with Suave Professionals Extra Hold Gel.
* Next, take a 1.5 inch curling iron to curl the large sections of hair.
* Finally, gather hair into a pony tail and loosely twist down to create a low chignon off to the side. Secure with pins and let loose pieces fall naturally for a look that’s effortlessly chic.

The Half-Up ‘Do

A fun look that gives the best of both worlds, try wearing your hair half-up. This method is a sophisticated update to the traditional look, giving hair a gorgeous volume.

* Use Suave Damage Care Shampoo and Conditioner in the shower to condition, revitalize and protect hair from over-processing.
* Take the top section of hair and blow dry back with a medium round brush.
* Then, pull bangs forward with the round brush and point blow-dryer at hair from underneath, curling bangs up with the brush. Part hair on the side. Blow dry the rest of hair until dry and then curl with a one-inch curling iron (for looser curls, use a larger curling iron).
* Next, tease the crown of the hair with a comb, using a downward motion to create beautiful volume on top. Smooth teased crown with a comb and secure this section of hair in the back with bobby pins or sparkly barrette for a little extra glam. Use Suave Professionals Freeze Hold Hairspray to keep hair in place all night.
