What to look for in hair gifts?
Be mindful of whether you are picking up a gift for a relaxed or natural family member or friend. This distinction will narrow your choices while keeping things relevant. Next, you want to decide on a hair product or tool.
If you know enough about them, you can opt for a product. When choosing a hair product, go for a smaller item. It doesn’t have to be a sample size, but you don’t want to give them a gallon-sized tub of moisturizer either. Keep in mind that the product may not work for them or their hair type.
You can go in a different direction and get a tool. This will open up a lot of possibilities for you. Styling tools are great gifts. Does she need a new flat iron* because hers shoots out sparks when she plugs it in? Maybe a new blow dryer* or even a hooded dryer* for the diva who does her own hair.
Basics are also great gifts when given in bulk. You don’t have to rack your brain for this one to be a hit. Simply buy a large quantity and see the steps above on getting creative with the packaging. Remember that you want your gift to be well received, but also useful.
4 Hair Related Christmas Gift Ideas
Heat styling tools
Titanium and tourmaline flat irons* have gained popularity lately. They’re marketed as being better than traditional ceramic irons. Picking up a new one would be a great gift. If you opt for this type gift, make sure to also pick up a return receipt from the retailer.
Bobby Pins*/Hair Pins
At first glance, this seems odd, but ask any woman with hair how many bobby pins* have mysteriously disappeared in her life and you will hear, “A million!” Very useful and practical gift.
These combs are beneficial, but they tend to cost a bit more than the average comb and they’re also not always readily available in stores. Grabbing one and gifting it would be a great way to say Merry Christmas.
T-shirt
A well-made t-shirt with a clever slogan or sassy saying is sure to go over well. With so many creative designs floating around, you can find the perfect one for the big day.
These gift ideas work well separately but don’t be afraid to mix and match any of them for added effect. Happy Holidays.
