ABOUT HER COLOR
Before styling, @penelopeobeso refreshed her red hue with oVertone Ginger Healthy Hair Duo and followed up with The Remedy — a wonderful, deep conditioning mask ideal for dry hair.
“My hair feels less dry since I started using The Remedy and Ginger Healthy Hair Duo, and my hair color looks vibrant! I love it because it keeps my color looking fresh in between salon visits.”
@penelopeobeso needed the ultimate shine and softness you can only get from clean hair to execute the perfect prom look.
“My hair gives me so much confidence. I love doing cute hairdos when I go out or train at the gym. I believe in the saying, ‘if you look good, you feel good,’ and that’s exactly the feeling I get with oVertone when I have fresh, clean hair."
LET'S GET STYLING
STEP 01: Start with clean, dry hair. @penelopeobeso washed her hair using oVertone Ginger Healthy Hair Duo to refresh her color and followed up with The Remedy for extra hydration.
STEP 02: Before styling, use The Style Shield Heat Protectant to help protect your strands from heat-based styling. This heat protectant leaves hair soft and will help with frizz without weighing it down.
STEP 03: Separate the top layers into a high bun, leaving out the bottom layers and hair framing the face.
STEP 04: Using a curling wand, start curling the bottom layers by grabbing two inches of hair and wrapping it around the wand away from your face. Let the curls loosely fall into the palm of your hand, scrunching the lock softly towards your scalp and releasing to reveal a perfect loose ringlet. Repeat this process on the bottom layers, followed by the top.
STEP 05: Lightly brush the curls for a timeless “Hollywood-style hairdo."
STEP 06: With your bangs parted to one side, comb down the other side behind your ear. Use hairspray to keep that side sleek and in place.
STEP 07: Add small dots to your part using a decorative hair gel glue. Make sure they’re evenly spaced. Next, apply gems to the adhesive spots and make sure they hold.
STEP 08: Finally, tease your hair to add a bit of volume, followed by hairspray to keep everything looking fab.
What we love about this prom-ready look is that it’s elegant, fun, and easy. We recommend having your hair in peak condition before styling for the best results. That’s why @penelopeobeso used our Ginger Healthy Hair Duo to maintain color, The Remedy to moisturize and hydrate, and The Style Shield Heat Protectant to de-frizz and protect from heat-based styling.
“My hair means everything. I’m always buying the best products because it’s a huge part of me and my personality.” — @penelopeobeso
Wearing your hair down is timeless and stunning on any hair length and type. It can look fancy, and salon approved without having to take hours. We hope you recreate this look to create beautiful memories with friends to look back on. Make the most of it and dance the night away in @penelopeobeso glamorous prom queen-ready look.
