Holiday cocktail season means getting ready in a hurry for lots of festive events. TRESemmé stylist Tyler Laswell demonstrates an easy hairstyle that works for anything from your office holiday party to a casual gift swap. The look uses the styling company's latest products which are available at most mass retailers for $4.99 each, on average.
Laswell explains how to mist, dampen, style, and part your hair to create this chic chignon style. It involves gathering your hair into two low ponytails, and twisting them both into intertwined rope braids. Along the way, he gives some tips on how to stay warm even when your hair is wet from styling.
He also gives some pointers on how to keep your hair on point even after you take off your winter beanie. When the demo is all finished, he reveals how to smooth down any unwanted frizz and flyaways. This is one holiday hairstyle that will actually last through busy days and cold weather.

A recent survey from employment website Indeed and career growth platform Luminary found that at least half of women are considering a change to their careers over issues of unequal compensation and upward mobility as compared to men.

"I think the silver lining here is that women are in a moment where they can renegotiate the terms of work.

Amazon closed its deal to buy MGM's many content brands for $8.5 billion, and Michael Pachter, a managing director at Wedbush Securities, joined Cheddar News to discuss the e-commerce giant's second-largest acquisition to date and how he thinks it will all pay off. "To make a movie today, you just can't even think about it for less than 30 million bucks, so 4,000 movies, I mean that's several billion dollars worth of assets," he said, noting how it would also add to Amazon's little-known ad-supported IMDb TV service. "I don't know that the IMDb TV guys actually talk to the Amazon Prime Video guys, but a lot of content, it makes the value of a Prime subscription much, much greater, and people are far, far less likely to churn even if they're only buying one package every three months."
