Original Minerals, the Australian pioneers of Clean Color Technology and stress-free haircare, have a philosophy to remove harsh chemicals in favor of quality botanicals and essential oils. This ultimately gives you gorgeous salon professional results. O&M Global Creative Director Janelle Chaplin is here to help you master a new spring hair trend: the wet slick look. “I’m seeing a lot of girls with longer locks sporting the slick boys’ look, and I even created a similar look for By Johnny during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Australia. It’s as if the girls have just raided their boyfriends’ hair gel!” says Janelle. As seen for Spring/Summer 2015 at shows by Zac Posen, Holly Fulton, Versace, and By Johnny, now you can achieve the look with O&M.

How To Get The Look:
- Working with hair that has dried naturally, apply water around the hairline
- Apply a sculpting product like O&M Style Guru to hold and set the look
- Use a fine tooth comb to comb the hair around the front into the desired shape, leaving to set
- Let the rest of the hair fall out or tie in a loose low pony
- Apply a shine serum like O&M Frizzy Logic on the ends to finish
All O&M products are free from Sulfate, Parabens, MIT, Phthalates, Triclosan and Propylene Glycol, meaning they are as kind to your body as they can be, without compromising on quality and style. The entire line is 100% recyclable, reinforcing O&M’s commitment to being as gentle as possible to both your body and the environment.
Middle parts are also taking center stage! Here, Janelle walks you through getting the perfect middle part.
Spring/Summer 2105 Donna Karan
How To Get The Look:
- On dry hair, apply a styling spray like O&M Atonic, then blow dry hair forward from the crown using a smoothing brush
- Point your index finger to the center of your forehead and with a tail comb in the other hand, draw a line from the center of the crown towards your index finger, parting hair to either side
- Apply a root lift spray like O&M Rootalicious in the part to secure and add volume
- Use a texture spray like O&M Surf Bomb through mid-length and ends for a tousled effect
- Finish with a light blast of heat from your blow dryer to set and apply product for longer hold if desired
Another cool hair trend for spring is the undone look. “Everyone wants to achieve the undone, chic vibe this season! I call this second day hair look,” says Janelle.
Spring/Summer 2105 Versace
How To Get The Look:
- Working with your natural texture, blow dry while straightening the ends slightly with a smoothing brush
- Use dry shampoo or a texture spray like O&M Surf Bomb all over hair
- At the top of your head, twist hair and pin before blasting some heat on it from your blow dryer
- Remove the pins and shake out hair
- To make the undone look more polished, apply an even amount of shine serum like O&M Frizzy Logic to mid length and ends
