Create & Cultivate's Good Hair Day with Paul Mitchell

Photo by #createcultivateCHI attendee @wayfaringrachel

There was great hair a-plenty bouncing around #createcultivateCHI. From perfectly tousled waves (as Instagrammed above by @wayfaringrachel) to heat-wave friendly braids, and we followed the trail right back to our very own Beauty Lounge where Paul Mitchell was serving up some really, really good hair days. Along with envy-inducing hair, our attendees left with a bevy of Paul Mitchell products (one of our favorites is their Extra Body hairspray) to keep up the look at home. The Paul Mitchell crew also did hair for some of our panelists, so be sure to check out Rachel Parcell’s flowing locks and Nadia Aboulhosn’s high-pony for even more inspiration!

Thanks to skincare from Simple, technology from Nu Face, Venice Collection manis from OPI, makeup by The Glam App, and of course, Paul Mitchell on hair, we hope everyone left feeling confident inside and out, Instagram-ready, and primed to take on the world!

Tag your best beauty moments with #createcultivateCHI and #paulmitchellus so we can follow along! 

Phhhoto x #createcultivateCHI

From Sturgis and Ren on the A/V Club panel to watching all of you flashing pearly whites and Simon G diamonds for the camera, PHHHOTO gave us some of our favorite #createcultivateCHI moments. Take a look at all of the Phhhotos from the conference here and if you haven't already, download the app ASAP to keep the fun going. Pro Tip: Phhhoto is also one of the best new communities out there to get noticed and reach a whole new audience. If it's good enough for Beyoncé (a lowkey Phhhoto power-user), it's good enough for us!
