The holidays bring everyone together, and they also bring holiday parties! You never know when you’ll get invited to a last-minute one with your high school friends, or maybe you’ll even road trip to attend one with your college friends. (I miss mine too much!)

If you want to keep your hair looking great throughout the holidays and through every event you’re going to, you’ll need good products on your side. To help, I’ve listed my four favorite hair products right now:

Hot Tools Rainbow Gold 1 1/4? Curling Iron

Hot Tools Rainbow Gold 1 1/4? Curling Iron – $53.99

I am obsessed with this curling iron by Hot Tools. Not only is it crazy pretty, but it works perfectly and makes the most incredible curls. It gets really hot and stays hot, so your curls happen faster and last longer. I honestly can’t say enough about this! It makes the prettiest loose curls that still look natural. 

One word of warning: If you buy this, you will instantly become popular in your dorm. I am basically forced to do all my friends’ hair with this just because they love the results so much. It’s a little pricey but trust me, it’s so worth it for the curls you get. 

Samy Fat Hair Mousse

Samy Fat Hair Amplifying Mousse – $7.99

I’m throwing it back to the days of scrunched hair with this one! I’ve learned to love mousse again, and this one, by Samy, is especially good. The name doesn’t lie: Your hair will be large! As a bonus, this smells so, so good. 

Nowadays, I don’t scrunch when I use mousse. Instead, I put a small ball of this in my hands and run them through damp hair, then I blow dry my hair upside down to get the most volume I can. This method gives my hair insane volume. If I don’t want the full volume, I only flip my head upside down for half the time I’m blow drying. Buy this immediately if you want giant, voluminous hair!
