Pravana #FestivalStyle: Braids and Building on Styles! Coachella Colors #PravanaVivids #part2

If you rewind to earlier today, you will find the Part 1 post on Pravana Festival Hair! Here’s the much-awaited part 2–which is much longer than part 1. Do realize that hair styling by Kait Marie are the featured breakdown(s) along with makeup by Karen Sarahi. So check this out and get a bit of the scoop on Pravana in case you haven’t heard of this brand or have questions about this phenomenal brand that I love so much. ( I think I am on Pravana Perfection Smoothing treatment #6 by now!)

PRAVANA hair care and hair color products are always free of parabens, sulfites, sulfates, cocamide DEA, formaldehyde, phthalates, and many other ingredients commonly used in cosmetic products but known to be harmful to users or the environment. This hybrid approach, which marries time proven botanical extracts and natural proteins with modern elements such as nano-amino acids and micro-polymers, provides hair care that is truly super-natural while also protecting the planet and its people.

Want to see what makes Pravana so special and so “Coachella perfect”? It’s the hair color that gives you the freedom to go deep, crazy great and also innovate what your personal style is — if only for a weekend!

Festival season officially kicked off last weekend! If you’re looking for creative hair color ideas, or don’t know yet what to do with your hair style, PRAVANA invites you to check out the latest videos, PRAVANA PRESENTS: VIVIDS Festival.

It’s a two-part series, first covering the hair color technique, inspired by the ever-changing colors in mood rings and done by celebrity stylist Danny Moon who was responsible for Nicole Richie’s lavender locks. You can see part one in the post from earlier on 4/17.
