Step by Step
To start, Narad focused on hydrating Olivia’s hair and locking in moisture. He relied on two must-have products: the 7SECONDS Detangler and SILKY:SMOOTH Heat Activator. These powerhouse products worked together to give Olivia’s hair a silky, smooth finish that’s perfect for a high-gloss magazine cover.
Next, Narad added volume and texture to Olivia’s hair using the BOOSTA Volumizing Spray. This amazing product gave her hair a boost of lift and energy, and Narad followed it up with the BOOSTA Finishing Spray once her hair was dry. The result? Hair that’s full of body and movement.
But the key to keeping Olivia’s look fresh and fabulous throughout the shoot was Narad’s clever use of UNITE’s U:DRY products. He mixed the High Volumizing Dry Shampoo with the Fresh Conditioner to absorb any excess oil and add a touch of volume and shine to her hair. This genius hack kept Olivia’s hair looking stunning from start to finish.
So, there you have it – the secret to Olivia Attwood’s show-stopping You Magazine cover look. With these few simple products and some expert know-how, you can create a similar look at home. Give it a try and get ready to turn heads!
Pro Tip:
