A few days before...
I want ... a new haircut
The tradition:
Every year, we wait for the 24th to lighten our hair and go out with a brushing or a perfect wavy to sit down directly, or almost, at the New Year's table.
But that was in the world before ...
The solution:
Like every year at the same time, hairdressers' appointment books are filling up at lightning speed.
So we don't take any risks if we have had enough of our lengths and we think that the trend of extra-long hair is no longer necessarily relevant.
We cut now and we take advice and tips from the professionals for a hairstyle worthy of the name on Christmas Day.
I want ... perfect nails
The tradition:
There are two schools, those which anticipate and do a nice manicure the days before New Years Eve and those which do it at the last minute. The former may well anticipate, they always end up deploring a sparkle caused during the wrapping of gifts. And the second ends up removing everything because lack of sufficient drying time, the varnish is damaged when putting on the pot holder to take the turkey out of the oven.
The solution:
The semi-permanent varnish.
Of course, we avoid abusing it throughout the year because in the long run, our nails can be damaged.
But for the holidays, it's still the best way to have a perfect manicure from Christmas Eve to December 31st.
Be careful though, to opt for a color that will match the different outfits chosen.
And even a shade that we have at home to be able to touch up just in case.
For the installation, you can go to the salon or do it yourself by investing in a kit like the one offered by the Manucurist brands and its green version or even Le Mini Macaron.

I want ... a doe look
Tradition:
Every Christmas, we hope to have a doe gaze.
This season even more since the mask is invited for the holidays.
We have the eyelash curler that we don't like the rest of the year and the mascara with XXL promises.
Except that in reality, for lack of habit, it is difficult to handle the first object.
And, between the fumes of the kitchen, the ambient excitement and the multiple tasks to accomplish, we end up with panda eyes in two beats of an eyelash.
The solution:
Applying eyelash extensions.
Whether you want more volume, a more pronounced curve or a wow effect (or even glitter), this practice allows you to zap the mascara for almost a month if you follow the maintenance instructions.
A miracle solution that certainly comes at a cost, but what better time than the holidays to experience it?

I want ... a luminous complexion
The tradition:
With the cold, the mask and the fatigue, the reflection of the mirror offers only a blurred complexion that we will try to hide. But no time with the busy schedule of the day to do a scrub and a mask. Too bad, we cheat and we camouflage as best we can with foundation and corrector, which will be undermined by wearing a mask.
The solution:
We schedule a scrub AND mask evening the week before, all in a good hot bath (if you have a bathtub), just to really take the time to do yourself good and pamper your skin.
For those who really don't have the time, the mask option to leave on overnight can be practical.
And in the process, we take the opportunity to apply it to the hair.
Even if it means starting the clock, you might as well kill two birds with one stone.

The day before...
I want ... worked curls
Tradition:
We dream of seeing our desperately smooth hair take on a wavy look like that of the celebrities on the red carpet or
Emily in Paris
(we have to give it that).
One hour from the opening of the presents, we connect shampoo and curling iron.
At best, it does not take because our hair is not dried properly, at worst, we do not get the desired shape of curls or the effect falls off after 30 minutes.
The solution:
Wash your hair the night before and this time, voluntarily leave your lengths slightly damp before making twists.
A simple and effective technique for hair that has been worked on on D-day. In the morning, you can use the waves with an iron or a styler to give the whole thing a little more spring.

I want ... a well drawn square
The tradition:
With the holidays, we want a new haircut.
Except that the race for gifts requires, we did not have time to make an appointment with the hairdresser.
Result: we try the bun or the herringbone braid (with more or less success) to have an impression of change.
The solution:
The one we're going to steal from Kate Middleton and Blake Lively.
Namely cheating to get a square without cutting.
Obviously, we try the previous weekend to acquire the necessary dexterity and be comfortable on D-Day.
