The Makeover

"I feel it's time for a makeover," Dominican singer Janet Morla tells us as she gets ready to launch her first album. "I want a fresh, different look." We immediately paged our hair expert Christo.

Instead of using a lighter hair color, Christo opted to create fine highlights in all her hair keeping her natural color as base. "Her hair has been texturized and it's not advisable to make a drastic change in color," says Christo, who has styled the hair of celebrities such as Dayanara Torres. "The process may turn out to be too harsh and unhealthy for the hair."

Janet had a long fringe that kept her from having different styles done. To achieve movement in all her hair, Christo cut it in cascade, making sure to keep it long.

A deep conditioner is essential after a chemical process of highlights. Christo applied a Hair Rehab screen from his Curlisto line of products, and mixed it with shine. "This is an intense treatment that gives hair back the moisture it loses in a chemical process," he says.

Our stylist proceeded to dry her hair, creating mini-waves to give it volume and movement.

Makeup artist Gregg Hubbard for Christo Fifth Avenue, completes this remarkable makeover. He begins by applying The Mist by La Mer (top), which "moisturizes the skin and sets it up for makeup." He then applies the HD Foundation from Make Up For Ever, which he considers the best to cover up skin flaws.

To achieve great lashes, Gregg advises to apply mascara to each lid individually by brushing it on vertically. Then apply another layer of mascara with lateral movements on the roots all the way to the tips. This way, your eyelids will look thicker and more separate.

The result is amazing. With her new look, this singer feels ready to conquer the world with her beautiful voice and tropical rhythms. "I was afraid to get highlights because on other people they look too dramatic. But these are soft and blend into my hair," Janet says.

Now with her new look, Janet can't stop flirting in front of the camera. "I love the style. Now my hair has movement. I'm dying to go out walking on the streets and feel my hair moving with the wind. It looks super sexy."
