Hey Stacey's Top 5 Christmas Gift Ideas

We're four days into December and the sound of Santa's sleigh and the shops Eftpos confirmation beeps are being heard in the distance. Although fun because you're with your friends & family, Christmas brings the stress of getting the perfect gift for your loved ones. Today's blog are all about the recommendations we think anyone who is into hair & beauty would want and would ask for! A few things may or may not be from our own personal Christmas wishlist 😂 Continue reading below for a full list of gift ideas for all sorts of people with all sorts of budgets!

1. Hey Stacey Hair Extensions

Of course, this should come as no surprise to our readers 😉 If you suffer from hair insecurities such as damaged, thin and short hair than Hey Stacey is the solution for you. Hey Stacey hair extensions are created to give you healthy, thick and long hair that appears natural and won't break your bank. We believe in providing luxury that anyone can afford - we want everyone to be able to have the hair of their dreams and to feel unapologetically beautiful. Who doesn't want to feel beautiful and like the best versions of themselves? Our hair extensions are made with 100% remy human hair. This means that during the creation of each set of hair extensions that the cuticles are aligned, doing so will allow the hair to mimic your natural hair and to feel like your natural hair. Here at Hey Stacey we are all about seamless blending and amplifying your natural beauty. Everyone is beautiful in their unique ways, we want to provide a product that instils you with the utmost confidence and elevates what you were born with so you feel unapologetically beautiful.

Hair extensions are a great investment because you can purchase a set that are permanent or temporary - such as tape hair extensions or clip in's, whatever your poison. Giving hair extensions this Christmas will allow your gift receiver to add instant length and volume to their locks. But hey, we won't be opposed to encouraging you to treat yourself along the way, you have to make an appearance at the Christmas gatherings too 😉

2. Slip Pillowcase & Hair Scrunchies

RRP: $145

We've spoken about the importance of sleeping on silk pillowcases instead of cotton or any other fabric but for those who don't know, sleeping on silk pillowcases is proven to be much better for your hair and skin. Sleeping on silk pillowcases and sheets will help with anti ageing, sleep crease and bed head. Silk fibres are significantly less absorbent than many fibres used in pillowcases and sheets. Silk can help keep your skin's moisture and pricey face & hair products where they belong - that being on your face and in your hair. Silk pillowcases can reduce friction from your sleep which can reduce any stretching or tugging on your facial skin. A common questions is what is sleep crease? As your skin ages, it will lose it's elasticity and sleep creases will become more pronounced and last longer. Sleep creases tend to go away later on in that day but however they can gradually become more prominent and permanent over the years. As we mentioned, silk reduces friction which will allow for your skin to glide along the pillow rather than creating sleep creases from extra pressure in your sleep on your skin.

But let's talk about the bed head we all face, well most of us face as women with hair... ordinary pillowcases can cause your hair to pull and tangle throughout the night and during a good, or even bad sleep which can lead to bed head or bed hair as you may call it. This can be damaging to your hair long term, it can create split ends from friction and tangles caused from the fabric used in ordinary pillowcases. Sleeping on silk will eliminate friction and be more delicate on your hair therefore prolonging it's health and keeping all the products you use on your hair, in your hair and not left on your pillow.

We personally love the brand, SLIP because they have a wide variety of products and use high quality fabrics and materials to do everything and more to what we mentioned above. If you're looking at giving silk products as a gift, we would recommend purchasing a pillowcase as a must as well as silk scrunchies to take that extra length in providing your hair with care. It's probably common that you've heard using normal elastics can cause more harm than good to your hair so we recommend using silk scrunchies when you can and especially when braiding your hair at night as you should 😊

3. Hair Accessories

It's the party season, we have Christmas and we have New Years just around the corner. Give the gift of sparkle! Our favourite brand, hands down for hair accessories is the newly launched Evalina Collective which is exclusively sold at Australian #1 hair supplier, AMR Hair & Beauty Supplies. You can purchase Evaline online and in store at Ingleburn and Penrith NSW. You may have seen us use and tag them over on our Instagram and that's because we swear by their bling and their mission to make you feel beautiful and confident through hair accessories. And let's be real, here at Hey Stacey we don't need an excuse to elevate and add a little sparkle to our looks, who doesn't love a little sparkle right?

The beauty of Evalina is that there is something for everyone. There's clips and scarves for the minimalist, something subtle for the beginner and the extra AF accessories for anyone that wants that extra shine and sparkle baby! Oh, did we mention the price? Nothing costs more than $34.99, we love a bargain at this time of year! Thank us later 😉😘

4. Dyson's Airwrap Styler Complete Iron Kit

RRP: $799.99

Calling out to all the boujee buddies who want to treat their loved ones with some luxury! First you get the hair extensions and then the hair dryer/styling tool to compliment the two. This 5-star rated device comes with hair guarantees that would having you swiping your card faster than you have time to blink. With a V9 digital motor, Dyson's Airwrap hair styler 13 blade impeller spins up to 111,000rpm which produces a pressure that creates what they call the "Coanda Effect". The Coanda effect uses air to attract your hair and to then wrap it around onto the barrel for efficient blow drying. If you're thinking about whether your not it's good for your hair in the sense of heat control here comes the good news... this device continuously measures its airflow temperature and will automatically regulate its heat levels and ensure it stays below 150 degrees. Nifty right? The Dyson airwrap styler is perfect to help reduce frizz and flyaways. The gift kit includes:

1x Pre-styling Dryer
1x Resistant Mat
1x Tan Storage Case

Need we say less? And yes, you can assume this was on our wishlist, because it most certainly is. Take my money 😂

5. Salon Gift Voucher

With 2020 being what it is, it's really important we support our small businesses around us and our beloved salons are one of those small businesses. The gift of a voucher to their go-to salon will always go down well. Whether it's even a blow-dry and styling voucher, or you can go all out and shout them the whole shambang and organise their colour, cut and style. You may need to do some investigating to find out where they go but it'll be worth it. If you're not convinced by a salon voucher, purchase products that exist to help maintain the integrity and shine of who you're buying for from salons. Now, we feel it is our duty to prewarn anyone that doesn't know what they could be getting themselves into cost wise. Let's say you're purchasing for someone who isn't a natural blonde and needs a root retouch, toner and Olaplex in their routine salon visit, depending on the salon they go to, this could cost anywhere from under $200 to well above $500. Beauty is a process and it cannot be rushed. Time cost money and so does good quality products, so this is your prewarning if you aren't sure what the average salon bill is.

We're all about giving as a business and as people. We want smiles all around us from our customers, our friends and our family. If you go all out for your loved ones or just need an idea of where to look for Christmas gifts, we hope we've inspired you and given you some ideas of your own to what to get this year. We encourage supporting your local businesses to help them out from the year, whether that is your local fashion boutique, salon or butcher for food for your Christmas festivities.

With that being said, the team here at Hey Stacey want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We hope Santa is good to you, you feel loved & cherished and have the best time during your holidays or time spent with loved ones. Cheers to 2020 and a warm welcome to 2021, we can't wait to share with you everything we have planned and everything we have to offer.

Love Hey Stacey xx
