Natural Flow
Hair is taking new heights this season, especially during Cynthia Rowley’s Spring 2020 presentation. “The show is centered around the idea of travel, adventure, diversity and paid a special tribute to Dr Seuss’ iconic Oh! The Places You’ll Go,” said Kevin Hughes, Moroccanoil Artistic Director. To create the whimsical hairdo, the stylist created a center part and generously applied Moroccanoil Smoothing Lotion through the top area of the hair, stopping at ears length. Then sectioned off and teased the hair with Moroccanoil Professional Curling Iron to create subtle waves in the hair. To achieve the wavy and voluminous looks, try the Moroccan brand’s texture product.
