Pantene Wants You To Have Rockstar Hair This New Year’s Eve — Check Out The Look (Modeled By Me)!

The countdown to 2012 has officially begun and, unlike all the doomsday prophets and fatalistic ramblers who predict the world coming to an abrupt end (and not in the beautiful manner Lars Von Trier imagined for his film Melancholia), I believe the new year will unfold much like any other year: with the promise of new and exciting horizons, with the possibility for enlightenment and personal growth, with the dream of soul-stirring connections, and the reality that disappointments and hindrances will surface alongside triumphs and successes. But, for tonight, we’re focusing on the promise the new year holds, on wiping the slate clean and entering 2012 with clearness of mind, endless gratitude, and a sense of purpose.

If your New Year’s Eve celebrations involve hitting a nightclub or attending a special bash, ensure that all eyes are on you with a cool-as-can-be hair look that conveys the idea that you bring the party to any place you enter. To party like a rock star, then, celebrity hairstylist Carlos Vera (who has worked with Thalía and Shakira, among others), a vital member of Pantene’s team of hair gurus, suggests a pompadour look with lots of volume at the crown, slicked sides and pin-straight, flat-ironed ends.

In the brief video above, Carlos Vera discusses how to get this look and what Pantene products to apply when styling your tresses. I had the honor of being Vera’s model for this Pantene video (I was one of three New York-based Latina bloggers participating in this #TuPantene campaign), and I fell in love with the final look so, hopefully, you will too!

Check out the Pantene video, get some inspiration for your NYE hair look, and I’ll catch you gals in 2012! Happy New Year to you all!
