MERCEDES BENZ FASHION WEEK SWIM

CURLY VS STRAIGHT

Hair… Curly vs straight?!jonathon powell, hair, fashion, stylist, curly vs straight hair

It’s either too curly or it’s too straight. It has too much volume (and eventually turns to frizz) or its too flat & won’t even stay up.

Truth is, the age-old question remains: What’s better curly or straight hair? And is there such thing as too curly or too straight?

Here is my curly vs straight hair resolution: Love your own crowning glory & find the product that’s right for you!

If there’s one thing I’m known for… It is definitely my hair. You know, I’m the “girl with the curls.” And over the years, I’ve definitely learned to love & tame the mane. That wasn’t always the case, in fact, my middle school years where quite disastrous for my hair-life. (LA Looks was my saving grace. Eeeek, gross! Let’s pretend I never said that. I wouldn’t put that junk in my hair today, even if you paid me!! And don’t worry I wont show you pictures or should I? ;) ) Thank goodness middle school was only 3 years of my life & now, I know better styling products exist.

Even though I eventually learned to style & manage my hair, the question still remains… Curly vs straight? Well, after spending some time observing hair trends at this year’s Mercedes Benz Swim Week. Guess what I found? Both are equally stylish & equally beautiful and with the help of Jonathan Products you can achieve any of the looks with ease! See for yourself:

For the Poko Pano show, lead hair stylist, Jonathon Powell created a sleek & sultry look using GG Gatsby’s new collection of straightening hair products. The models looked stunning!

Powell  was also the lead stylist for the L*Space – Monica Wise show where he created a sexy “wet look” bringing the perfect beach waves to our humid Miami beaches. “The Water is Waiting” theme inspired his hairstyles and the new Hydracurls collection helped bring them to life by adding the perfect blend of flirty & fun.
