Countdown to beauty

You only have an hour to go before a night out, so put aside some 'me' time to pamper yourself. Even if you're on the go, it's the difference between looking good and feeling beautiful.

If you can't rely on limitless time to get ready for the season's parties, you're not alone. Whether you're popping out after work or you need to get ready for an event in the middle of a busy weekend – it's easy to get looking your best in no time at all. And to make sure you don’t dally, try setting an alarm clock for your departure time.

Create a lovely tousled hairstyle with Sunsilk Curls Mousse. Comb a clementine size amount of mousse evenly through your hair, then separate the strands of hair. Wrap these strands around one or two fingers, starting from the root, and secure the loop of hair to your head using a clip. Repeat the same around the hair so you end up with at least ten strands. Dry your hair completely, and now the fun bit: remove each clip and rearrange the hair so that you get a wavy look all around. Use a wide toothed comb to reshape the style and apply a little wax if you want better definition. Remember to use Sunsilk Staying Power Hairspray to ensure the style lasts throughout the evening.
