THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THE NETHERLANDS IS NOW SOLVED

This is how you get the hair you've always wanted

Somehow, I still often struggle to achieve a good beach look. I have the tips, the tools too, but the products sometimes leave a bit to be desired. And yes, it has to be a trinity to get the look right. On the catwalk and in tutorials, it always looks très easy, but in reality, it usually ends up being a disastrous hairstyle that resembles a greasy mess on your head that looks quite like a bird's nest. Somewhere, something is going terribly wrong. But the solution is near, and I am really happy about that.

Antonio Corral Calero is the Global Brand Ambassador for MoroccanOil. He can rightfully put that title on his business card, as he has been traveling the world since he was 17. Because of this, he speaks six languages fluently and discovered his love for MoroccanOil during those travels. Quite a funny story, because in Colombia he came into contact with MoroccanOil. He received a sample, tried it on one of his most valued clients, and was incredibly enthusiastic. And very, very coincidentally, that valued client, without him knowing, was quite good friends with the brand. Well, then the ball started rolling. And then he traveled even more. And then every year at the Oscars, he created the best winning looks. I mean, Antonio Corral Calero is not the Global Brand Ambassador for nothing. It’s like a fairy tale, so fun and special.

You would think he has a crazy busy schedule and is constantly flying in and out. And that’s true. But he always tries to add an extra day to his appointment when he’s abroad. Why? Just to look at the hairstyles in the streets of the city he’s in. Very inspiring, intriguing, and it leads to the finest products that people really need. And he knows it.

“We are just going to make it, all thanks to Antonio.”

So we end up at the problem that is present in the Netherlands. Because we seem to have trouble with thinning hair (well, it’s not just a rumor, it’s simply true). It all falls quite differently. That’s why the MoroccanOil treatment has also come in a light variant. Then it doesn’t collapse so sadly, but you do have the perfect base for conditioning, styling, finishing, and that sparkling shine.

But another thing we need: the beach look. That fails quite a bit for us. It remains a popular look that really won’t disappear from the streets. And that’s why we can add three key products to our beauty wardrobe. The texture spray gives a boost to volume at the roots. Especially very handy if you have those beautiful long blonde mermaid locks that often make everything look smooth and lifeless. It’s a dry spray that provides texture without becoming sticky. Then you have the beach wave mousse. It ensures that your hair can really stay styled for a long time. Finally, the clay. Always a bit exciting, but perfect for the day before. You style your hair, dry it for 80 percent, knead the clay in, sleep a night, and wake up like Cinderella. A miracle product, it seems to me. And then the biggest advantage: all products have that divine scent we are used to. Texture in the hair can normally be a bit daunting, but thanks to the argan oil, it will remain very soft. And yes, we are used to that from MoroccanOil.

Doesn’t it all sound too good to be true? Yes, it really is. With these products, it won’t become a greasy bird's nest that you create, but you will feel like that Australian beauty rocking on her surfboard. And that’s a pretty nice idea for us Dutch girls, who don’t have that Australian sun, can’t surf, and just want to achieve all looks in no time. We are just going to make it, all thanks to Antonio.
