Get the Look:
PREP: products used to start/enhance
– Foundation is key when creating a style that needs to last all day. Starting wet, cocktailed (mixed) Matrix StyleLink Heat Buffer, Turbo Dryer and Volume Builder to create volume at the root during the blowout, while protecting the integrity of the hair.

PLAY products used to create/experiment
– Once dry, use a nickel-sized dollop of Matrix StyleLink Height Riser, and Matrix StyleLink Texture Builder spray throughout. Creating texture and grit, with a matte finish was the goal.
– Begin knotting, twisting, and piecing her mohawk from the crown down the back. Bobby pins with the pre-existing texture create a hold that will last all day.
– The added drama and height in the front is created with subtle backcombing a bit more of the Matrix StyleLink Texture Builder spray. I wanted a messy, wind swept, piecey look.
PERFECT: products used to finish/perfect
– Once you’ve achieved a look you love, a bit of Matrix StyleLink Shape Switcher can also be used to create more definition and separation of any ends left out.
– Also, starting with hair that is well cared for is key. Use Matrix Biolage Cleansing Conditioner. This soap-free cleanser, without sulfates, parabens, or silicones is great for daily use. It won’t strip your hair of natural oils, or it’s color!

“Creating a style that’s red carpet ready, one that lasts from the pre-party to the after party, is only as good as the product cocktail it’s created with. I love the soon-to-be released StyleLink line from Matrix. It allows you to personalize a solution for every hair type. This line, along with the new Cleansing Conditioner from Biolage as a daily routine, gives you a perfect canvas on which to create show-stopping looks! From prep to style to hold – Biolage and StyleLink have you covered!”
