Halloween is the time of year that you can transform yourself into anything you can imagine. Here, Pravana offers a how-to on one of this year's trending #unicornhair-inspired looks for Halloween. Try this fun look on your clients! It will have them gracefully galloping into their next Halloween party.
STEP 1: Custom color your favorite hair extensions or wig using Pravana Vivids. Pravana Guest Artist Toni Rose Larson used a combination of Vivids Locked-In and Pastels with just a touch of Neons for this multi-colored fantasy look on a Halo Couture extension piece. The formulas she created for the blended rainbow hair look are below:
2oz PASTELS Mystical Mint + 2oz NEONS Green
2oz Locked-In Yellow + dot of VIVIDS Clear
2oz PASTELS Blissful Blue + 1/2oz NEONS Blue
2oz PASTELS Luscious Lavender + 1/2oz NEONS Pink + dot of VIVIDS Violet
2oz Locked-In Pink + 1/2oz NEONS Pink + dot of VIVIDS Clear
Pravana stylist Jamie Muniz incorporated braids and twists in the hair for a unicorn-inspired style and secured with Nevo Super Shape hairspray for all-night hold.
STEP 2: Complement Vivids hair with makeup. Silver eyeshadow, rhinestones, a bright lip and fine glitter combined with a flawless base will turn your client into a perfect fantasy creature. Add wispy, natural-looking false lashes for a doe-eyed look.
STEP 3: Don’t forget the most important part- the horn! This unicorn headpiece from Daisy Viktoria brings the entire look together.
