Hair modeling for my good friend Alis in a class on Oribe products…
I experienced, not one, however two major revelations in that class on Oribe hairstyling products earlier today at Corte Madera’s Fox + stone Salon.
The first, exactly how to pronounce the word, “Oribe.”

Karen was there at the beauty salon to instruct the stylists there about Oribe’s products, as well as I was invited, together with two other ladies, to be a hair model.
Which brings me to the second revelation I discussed — that I now understand what it feels like to be a puppy at a canine park, since there was a great deal of petting going on…and by that I imply that the stylists in the class were instructed to consistently touch my hair as well as that of the other models.
Yup, one more one to cross off ye olde container list. “Have 20 people touch my hair in one day.” Verifica.
Three Hair Models, three Hairstyles
There were three separate stations, one for every of the models, among which the stylists would relocation to play with the products on each person’s hair.
There were three hair themes — curl Power, Full-Blown Bombshell (which I was desperately wishing to be chosen for, not gonna lie) as well as Big, strong as well as Beautiful, which was the style I was assigned.
Big, strong as well as Beautiful
My hair’s task was to sit there as well as showcase three products from Oribe’s line — their foundation Mist, Creme for style as well as Maximista Thickening Spray.
Oribe’s recipe for Big, strong as well as lovely hair
I utilize Oribe’s Shampoos as well as Conditioners at house as well as have had truly great luck with them, so it was fascinating to discover much more about the products, the very best methods to utilize them as well as what makes them tick.
Step 1: laundry as well as Condition
After washing my mop with Oribe’s Shampoo for Brilliance as well as radiate ($46) as well as Conditioner for lovely color ($42), they sat me in my chair as well as went to work.
Step 2: Prep With foundation Mist
Oribe’s foundation mist ($24) works type of like a makeup primer for your hair. I discovered out that it’s not truly developed for hold, however rather to prepare hair for styling by evening out the structure of every strand from root to end.
My stylist friend Alis, who works at the beauty salon as well as invited me today, explained it like this: in some cases hair has natural dips in the strands, which are like potholes. foundation mist does something called “evening out the porosity,” which implies that it fills in those potholes, turning the strands into one long, smooth road.
With the strands filled in, any type of styling products layered on top apply much more smoothly as well as evenly, as well as essentially carry out better.

On top of that, foundation mist likewise provides UV protection, which is especially practical for color-treated hair.
To utilize it, just spray everything over your hair, from roots to ends, as well as don’t be scared to saturate those strands!
Step 3: condition With Creme for Style
After prepping my hair with foundation Mist, the stylists worked in Oribe’s Creme for style ($38), a creamy leave-in conditioner suitable for thick, heavy hair.
Layering is an essential part of the Oribe philosophy, as well as this lightweight cream adds firm, yet flexible, hold as well as volume, among other things. You can apply it to either wet or dry hair, curly or straight, for shine, separation as well as body. It’s likewise excellent for providing additional oomph as well as structure to blowouts.
The stylists squeezed a pearl-sized amount into one of their palms as well as scrubed their hands together to thin as well as distribute the product, which they then used from the mid-shaft, all the method to the ends. Whatever was left over, they ran with my hair at the crown of my head.
Creme for style likewise conditions hair, as well as like foundation Mist, it offers UV protection.
Step 4: Crank Up the volume With Maxinista completing Spray
Next came the strike dryers! two stylists dried my hair up until it was about 80 percent done. then it was time for the completing touches with a round clean as well as the final product for my big, strong as well as lovely look, volumizing Maxinista Thickening Spray ($28), which is utilized to produce huge volume, like the kind you see in big,puffed-out, blow-dried hair.
That’s my good friend Alis on the right
It provides light-to-medium hold; they used it section by section, from roots to ends, before utilizing a big round clean as well as a strike dryer to surface the look.
I discovered that a technique to utilizing Maxinista is to keep a bottle of foundation mist nearby, since sometimes, if the hair gets as well dry while you’re strike drying with Maxinista, it can begin to feel sticky, however if that happens, just spray a bit bit of foundation mist on the section that you’re currently working with, as well as no much more sticky!
When they were finished, my hair looked bouncy as well as full, particularly at the roots, which is something I have difficulty with in some cases since my hair has a tendency to be heavy.
Now if I only woke up with hair such as this all the time!
The final look
At the end of the class, the trainer highlighted a few other products from the line…
