The 24-year-old is a DJ and artist by profession. And if that’s not exciting enough, her hobbies include skating, surfing, sewing, and collecting digital cameras. But perhaps the most impressive hobby she has is coloring her own hair. And no, we’re not talking about a cute ash, copper, chestnut, or even auburn color. We’re talking full-on blonde with neon pink and green tips, purple-green-blue curls, maroon balayage, and so much more unique color combos!

Baby Oliv
Baby OlivA College of Fine Arts and Design Painting graduate, it’s not hard to see where her creative roots—that she’s since translated into her beauty looks—come from. Besides citing Pat Cortez and the Gibbs Sisters, as her inspirations, Oliv shares that it was a natural thing for her to love beauty and even fashion as it was part of her childhood, “Growing up, I was always surrounded by very kikay women in my life. I like dressing up, looking cute and feeling confident for myself”.

Baby Oliv: Oh man, ever since I saw Paramore’s Hailey William’s hair when I was like 10, that was it for me. I remember buying a 70-Peso box dye to give myself some highlights.

BO: The first time I dyed my hair was when I was in first year high school. My parents were out for the night and I did chunky highlights on the nape and behind my ear because I thought I could just tuck it and “hide” it at school. But the teacher saw it, made me dye my hair black the week after! She was a moment though.

BO: It’s my favorite way to express my individuality but sometimes it’s a love-hate relationship. I’ve had colored hair for almost 12 years. I’ve been brunette for a couple of months throughout the years but it’s honestly not giving! Mas bet ko talaga colored hair. It helps me curate the way I feel at the moment.

BO: It’s been amazing. I’m so happy to find people who share the same love for hair, makeup, and fashion. I often take inspos from my online mutuals! My heart flutters when people tell me I’ve helped them be more confident with their hair and have pushed them to explore different styles! I always say life’s too short to stick to one style.

BO: Most memorable hair fail was probably when I dyed my hair black then tried to bleach it thinking it would lift! My hair just turned gummy. Lesson learned: never dye your hair black if you’re planning to go light after a couple of months!
