New Work: Beauty Makeup with Sleek Ponytail using Moroccanoil
Lately it seems like you can’t go anywhere without seeing ads for a product called Moroccanoil– the latest in hair care products that comes in a pretty blue package sporting an orange “M” logo. Question, what really is Moroccanoil?
While backstage at Baby Phat during New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010, I was given a full size bottle of this new hybrid product. I describe it as “hybrid” because of its finishing shine ability combined with flyaway control with a touch of texturizing serum. This product can work on all hair types and can be used to shape, smooth, texturize, de-frizz, and much more. There are endless possibilities for hair styles with this miracle hair care product!
For one of my latest shoots with photographer Nicholas LaClair, I wanted to create a sleek, tight-back ponytail on model Oksana. I immediately grabbed a dab of Moroccanoil, warmed it between my hands, and started to gently coat her hair with the product. Once the pony was set, I warmed another dab of Moroccanoil between my hands to seal the style. The result was a clean pony that was luminescent, healthy looking hair!
Here are some of our shots:
