Color aside, what about bouncy, beautiful curls? If you weren’t impressed already with their amazing color work, these curls by Olaplex Advocate @hannahhsnyderr will definitely do the trick. Curly hair is some of the most fragile hair and is more prone to damage than other hair textures. Olaplex treatments do wonders for bringing all hair textures back to its natural state and is a curly client’s best friend—check out @hannahhsnyderr’s shot featuring highlighted natural curls with a perfectly defined curl pattern!

We love a competition where everyone’s the winner—both the hairdresser and the client. It’s safe to say these BTC #ONESHOT finalists are changing the hair game, one healthy process at a time!
