This holiday season's trending looks are all about glitz, glam, updos and curls.

Well, the Holiday Half-Up Crown created by Keratin Complex artist Haley M. Estep combines all these attributes! 

How to Achieve the Holiday Half-Up Crown:

  1. Shampoo and condition hair with Keratin Complex Keratin Care Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner
  2. While the hair is damp, spray hair with Keratin Obsessed Multi-Benefit Treatment Spray, formulated with nourishing keratin.
  3. Brush through and follow with Keratin Complex Styling Lotion throughout damp hair for lightweight styling control and protection. 
  4. Blow dry using a round brush to accentuate volume and movement. 
  5. Starting on either side of the head, curl hair away from the face working to the middle of the back, to create waves throughout the hair.
  6. Repeat on the opposite side. 
  7. Lightly brush through the waves and spray hair with Keratin Complex Texturizing Spray at the base to enhance volume and on the mid-shafts and ends to add definition and separation. 
  8. Take a small section of hair from the front of both sides of the head and loosely twist each section to the center back of the head.
  9. Combine both twists with a band and gently pull edges of the twists to create a soft, elegant crown. 
  10. Use a stylish clip to anchor the twists to the style and to cover the exposed band. 
  11. Spray finished style with Keratin Complex Firm Hold Hairspray for strong yet brushable hold. 
  12. Add some holiday glitter or confetti for a festive finish.
