Style

Start with a O&M Smooth + Shine Shot Treatment. Rinse, then apply a fine mist of O&M Know Knott. Dry until about 80% of the moisture is out and apply O&M Rootalicious Root Lift Spray and blow the hair out with a natural bristle round brush, smoothing the mids and giving a curl to the roots. Smooth hair into a pony in front of the crown using O&M Style Guru Styling Cream for a smooth, shiny effect. Mist O&M Atonic Hair Thickening Spritz through the ends to act as a heat protectant and add hold. Then, using a curling iron, give curl definition to medium sized sections. Form a bun around the pony and pin sections forward to create height and fall over the hairline. Finally, set with O&M Original Queenie Firm Hold Hairspray for hold and also give a fullness to the style (thanks to the plumping effect of Lilly Pilly).

Color

Use O&M CØR.color 3.0 Dark Brown at the roots with O&M CØR.color 20vol Activator. Through the ends, use ½ O&M CØR.color 3.0 Dark Brown + ½ O&M CØR.color 0.00 Clear with 2 parts O&M CØR.color 5vol Activator. Into the mids mix, add O&M CØR.restore for extra nourishment. It’s mix of amino acids mimics the hair’s own amino acids to strengthen and rebuild previously colored hair.

Natalie Portman

Style

First, prep the hair with an O&M Volume + Shine Treatment Shot. Blow the hair dry to 80%, then mist with O&M Surf Bomb Sea Salt Texture Spray for volume and texture. Take large sections and spray over them directly to create a root lift with smooth ends. Part in the center and curl the hair with a large curling iron, stacking up the head in a horizontal pattern. Allow to cool, then using the O&M Classic Hair Brush, brush hair out. Using O&M Frizzy Logic Shine Serum, define the wave through the hair and lightly spray with O&M Desert Dry Volumizing Texture Spray to set style and add volume though ends.

Color

Using the O&M Paint Powder Clay Lightener, gently paint mids to ends, leaving depth in between each section. On the roots use ½ O&M CØR.color 4.0 Brown + ½ O&M CØR.color 5.8 Light Pearl Brown as a demi. Smudge the root color through for a seamless blend. Finally layer a semi of ½ O&M CØR.color 8.3 Light Golden Blonde + ½ O&M CØR.color 9.5 Very Light Red Blonde over damp hair at the basin.

Style

Spray hair with O&M Know Knott Detaingling Spray to detangle and smooth, then with a paddle brush dry till about 80% of moisture is out. Apply O&M Style Guru Styling Cream and O&M Frizzy Logic Finishing Shine Spray. Continue to dry with a paddle brush, pulling from roots for volume and smoothing ends.

Mist O&M Atonic Thickening Spritz through dry hair and curl all sections away from the face with a large barrel curling iron. Cool, then mist with O&M Frizzy Logic Finishing Shine Spray before twisting into a low french roll under the occipital bone. Pin and allow ends to pop through. Secure with a decorative clip or pin and pull sections of hair around the face and rework with curling iron. Finally, spray a few times with O&M Original Queenie Firm Hold Hairspray to build up hold and strength of the style.

Color

Use foils and 3 colors to achieve this look: O&M Ammonia-Free Keratin White Powder LightenerO&M CØR.color 20vol Activator, O&M CØR.color 9.7 Very Light Brunette BlondeO&M CØR.color 30vol Activator and O&M CØR.color 8.34 Light Golden Copper BlondeO&M CØR.color 10vol Activator. Pattern by placing 2 O&M Ammonia-Free Keratin White Powder Lightener foils, then one O&M CØR.color 9.7 Very Light Brunette Blonde foil and then one O&M CØR.color 8.34 Light Golden Copper Blonde. Follow this pattern throughout the whole head and process for 55 minutes for maximum lift and deposit saturation.

Then, glaze the hair with ½ O&M CØR.color 10.03 Lightest Beige Blonde + ½ O&M CØR.color 0.00 Clear with 2 parts O&M CØR.color 5vol Activator. Add O&M CØR.restore to the mix and process for 20 minutes. 

Sibley Scoles

Style

Apply Oway Flux Potion from roots to ends and blow dry. Next, take Oway Shaping Putty and work through the sides to smooth them back and apply to the top to create texture through the top. Spray in place with Oway Sculpting Mist and a light spritz of Oway Glamshine Cloud to give extra glimmer to the style. 

Color

To create Sibley’s fun fashion-forward color, you will need to decolorize from roots to ends with Oway Hbleach Buttercream Lightener to a pale yellow/white. To tone, begin with the root area by melting in Oway Hcolor 8.1 Ash Light Blonde + equal parts of Oway Hcolor 0.1 Ash Booster / Tone Corrector with Oway Htone 9 Volume Cream Developer. For the lighter silvery ends, use Oway Hcolor 9.11 Intense Ash Super Bleaching Blonde. Finish the service by shampooing the color out with Oway Hbalance Post-Color Neutralizing Shampoo to remove all traces of color from the hair and begin to bring the hair back to its normal pH. Lastly, follow up with Oway Hbalance Post-Color pH Mask to seal the cuticle and lock the color in.
