Samantha Shimmer is a 22-year-old actress. She’s limited when it comes to changing her appearance but felt like her one-length hair needed a little more personality.

Samantha had medium textured, natural wavy hair. It was previously lightened and the ends were feeling a little dry from the processing and spending time in the sun. She was overdue for a haircut but wanted to maintain as much length as possible. In looking at her ends, she needed at least two inches taken off from the length and some face framing layers to accentuate her gorgeous bone structure.

I shampooed her hair using Oribe Brilliance and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner, for it’s high shine and moisturizing capabilities. I added the Oribe — SuperShine Moisturizing Cream to her mid-lengths and ends as a leave-in conditioner and a heat protector for blow drying. I sectioned her hair into a central vertical parting and cut her hair using a circular cutting technique to create face framing layers while debulking and maintaining length. I incorporated long layers throughout the hair for added body and movement, then back-cut a long fringe for softness.

Before styling, I sprayed Oribe — Royal Blowout throughout her hair for lightweight hold, heat protection and to repair the ends. I blow dried her hair with a large round brush then touched up the wave with a curling wand. To finish, I used the Oribe — Apres Beach Wave and Shine Spray for a soft touchable and tousled finish.

Samantha is no stranger to make up so we amped up her look with monochromatic smoky makeup. We played up her hazel-brown eyes with rust-brown and flesh coloured eyeshadows. We evened out her complexion with a full coverage vegan-friendly foundation and contour her face with bronzing powder. We filled in and framed her eyebrows and finished the look with a rust-brown shimmer lipstick.
