Princess Leia Sketch

DO THE TWIST
WITH JOICO GLOBAL BRAND AMBASSADOR, LARISA LOVE

Leave it to Joico Global Brand Ambassador, Larisa Love, to put a super-flattering 2020 twist on a galactically iconic hairstyle. Though the original look has been compared to wearing a pair of cinnamon buns over each ear, Larisa’s new approach (lower, further back, more intricate) is decidedly chic and modern. She shows you exactly how to create this star-studded double-updo; and demos the K-PAK Color Therapy styling products that get you there:

The product collection Larisa's using to create – and protect - her iconic look!

K-PAK Color Therapy Color-Protecting Shampoo
This color-preserving shampoo washes away dirt and debris while being gentle to color-treated hair. With its luscious lather, formulated with antioxidant-rich African Manketti and Argan oils, you’ll actually help extend the life of your shade’s vibrancy and fight future damage every time you wash.

K-PAK Color Therapy Color-Protecting Conditioner
Our extra-conditioning formula, with African Manketti and Argan oils, helps shield your hue’s vibrancy, while hydrating overtime to strengthen hair and reduce breakage.

K-PAK Color Therapy Luster Lock Multi-Perfector Daily Shine & Protect Spray
This “wonder spray for healthy-looking hair every day” is a silky, leave-in treatment that that delivers a powerful shield of protection against styling stress, thermal damage, and UV exposure – all of which can fade your haircolor. The results are remarkable and visible…smooth-as-silk hair that shines like nobody’s business.

K-PAK Color Therapy Glossing Oil
The daily hair treatment that creates 150X the shine in a single drop. In addition to boosting big-time shine, it also preserves over 85% of investment hair color, and tames frizz without weighing strands down. Super nourishing African Manketti Oil, Argon Oil, and Evening Primrose Oil team up to create hair that’s instantly 9X stronger; while K-PAK’s SmartRelease Technology releases RoseHip Oil, Arginine, and Keratin to repair, strengthen, and protect hair from future breakage, repairing years of damage in just a single use.

Power Spray Fast-Dry Finishing Spray
Delivering big-time staying power in the form of a fine, aerosol mist, Power Spray offers a one-and-done application that locks down your look without flaking or frizz. Developed with crystal-clear, flexible copolymers to provide serious, tack-free hold, and nourishing Moringa Seed Oil for healthy damage-resistant hair, this hard-working bodyguard boosts shine and softness; protecting your strands from the havocs of weather, pollution, UV rays, and even the wear and tear hair suffers when constantly exposed to heat stylers.

Creating the star style

You’ll feel like a princess when you wind up with Larisa’s iconic Hollywood look. Here’s how:

  • Shampoo and condition with Joico Color Therapy Color Protecting Shampoo and Conditioner.
  • Work a few drops of K-PAK Color Therapy Glossing Oil through ends of hair to add a gleam without weighing down strands.
  • Apply Luster Lock Multi-Perfector Spray throughout hair to detangle, protect from heat styling, and bring out maximum shine.
  • Brush through, then blow-dry smoothly using a round brush for tension and finish.
  • Part hair down the middle, taking the part all the way to the back of the nape.
  • Divide hair into two behind-the-ear low pigtails, securing each with an elastic.
  • Add additional Glossing Drops to ends for more shine and smoothness.
  • Apply Power Spray over the sides and front of hair, smoothing strands down as you go.
  • Comb through each ponytail, adding a bit more Glossing Oil to ends for a sleek finish.
  • Starting on one side, divide the ponytail into two sections, twisting each tightly, and then twisting them together into one unit. Secure end with an elastic.
  • Loosen and pull on the twist a little with your fingers to create dimension.
  • Now, coil it into a round chignon against the head, and secure with hair pins. Repeat same on the other side of the head.
  • Add a final application of Power Spray for extra hold.
