Enchanted by Donna Mitchell
Hairstyles with creativity, playfulness, and freshness. Fluid movement keeps the collection up-to-date.
Super-Straight Sleek Bob
Opt for an icy blonde color, blow-dry straight, and polish the hair with hair straighteners to achieve the super-straight sleek look.
Applying serum or shine spray will make the color tone more vibrant. Ask your salon for a violet toner to enhance the bob.
Loose Curls and a Sleek Fringe
Use ghd straighteners to create loose curls in the short hair, and use your fingers to separate them. For the perfect supersleek fringe, run the straighteners through the hair again.
For the best results, use L'Oréal Professionnel Lumino Contrast Radiance Shampoo and Conditioner, plus a shine spray.
Hair Set Using Heated Rollers
Choose a toffee or caramel base with golden highlights for a luxurious finish. Set the long hair using heated rollers; Babyliss Pro heated rollers are a great option.
Remove the rollers once they have cooled and brush through with a soft bristle brush. After smoothing out the root area, scrunch the curls and finish with a finishing spray or serum to hold the hair in place.
Large Curl
For a second look, set the hair in heated rollers. Once cooled, remove the rollers and use a paddle brush to smooth the curls and the hair around the back of the head to the left-hand side to create the large curl.
To maintain the smooth, rounded curl, finish the hairstyle with a generous application of firm-hold hairspray.
Point Cut Fringe
Request an intense dark mahogany tone. This bold, hard-edged short haircut features a point cut fringe. Use a smoothing shampoo and conditioner for a sleek look. Dry the hair with a paddle brush and smooth it with hair straighteners.
To finish, use a shine spray such as L'Oréal Professionnel's Gloss Control.
Just Out of Bed Look
For the messy "just got out of bed" look for short hair, use a volume-boosting mousse—L'Oréal Professionnel's Full Volume Extra—and dry the hair upside down.
Finish with a texturizing shaping gum. Try L'Oréal Professionnel's Play Ball Fiber Mess for added texture and flexibility, then blast with hairspray.
Fringe Across the Face
When blow-drying the hair, use a small radial brush to dry it to one side. Apply some light shaping crème, bringing the fringe slightly across the face. Finish the short hairstyle with glossy shine spray or shine serum.
Super-Sleek Glossy Look
For a super-sleek glossy look for long hair, start with an intense dark brown shade. Apply L'Oréal Professionnel's Tecni Art Liss Control smoothing gel, then blow-dry the hair straight.
Use straighteners to polish the hair and finish with shine serum.
Long Hair with Soft Curls
Use a curl-enhancing product—L'Oréal Professionnel Tecni Art Pli—before styling. Use a curl wand to create soft curls, taking large sections and wrapping the hair around the wand. Scrunch the hair and hold with firm-holding gel spray.
Hair Up with Rolled Hair
Use a bristle brush to smooth and add shine throughout the hair. Section the hair into three parts, brush through each section, and spray with shine spray. Take one section, create a loop, and roll the hair down onto the head.
Once the loop is in position, secure it with Kirby grips and use strong hairspray. Repeat with the other two sections to achieve a stylish, distinguished hair-up look.
