No one can provide better advice when it comes to hair care and styling than celebrity hair stylist and brand founder Jen Atkin.
The brains of Ouai and Mane, Jen is the only person you need to listen to for holiday hairstyling tips. She spilled her pro hair secrets exclusively to E! while in Miami Art Week for her partnership with Capital One Venture X Business.
If you want to make your hairstyle last, Jen has pro advice: “The best thing is to start with clean dry hair. If your hair is oily, get some dry shampoo in there before you curl it. And I love to spray a light veil of hairspray over the hair, brush through with a boar bristle brush and then take your hot tool.”
Don’t want to bother with hot tools? Jen is also a fan of adding a blingy hair accessory to a half-up style or keeping it simple with an easy and always chic sleek bun or pony. “The wintertime is always so stressful so don’t be ashamed of doing a sleek bun,” she says.
Naturally, the celebrity hairstylist is giving the gift of flawless locks this holiday season. She opts for anything “that kind of helps you to glam on the go.” Ouai and Mane’s gift sets— whether you opt for a body care kit or hair care bundle— are both Jen-approved options that she says she’s also gifting this year.
Jen likes to keep her gifting approach simple and straightforward. “I’m really crazy organized. I have so many documents. And because I have so many people to shop for, I selfishly know that I’m earning good rewards when I use the Capital One Venture X Business card,” she explains. “It’s kind of like guilt-free holiday shopping.”
