Mika and Ashley, renewed for the spotlight

The spotlight can bring to light every little detail, illuminate our strengths but equally show our flaws. For two talented young actresses, having their lives in the spotlight has shown others how strength is not only achieved through success but also through challenges, and how they rise after each fall.

Sounds good to be Mika

Mika Salamanca is back and burning brighter. After a long wait, she will be singing her own songs along with the tunes that she has become known for. Dreams of a career in music seemed dim and distant for a time, with stumbling blocks in the way of progress. She didn’t quit despite these difficulties. Instead, she kept doing what she loved and kept getting better until her voice was clear and strong, ready to be heard. Like her voice, her hair tells the same story of strength and resilience. She has found her rhythm in a lustrous music and acting career, and we see her flourishing.

Ashley sets the scene

Ashley Ortega knows what falling feels like. Becoming a competitive ice skater at a young age made it inevitable. It took hard work and discipline to perfect her skills and along with the pain of failing came the ability to get back up, both literally and figuratively. The struggles of life didn’t just prepare her for the layered, complex emotions she had to handle in her acting roles, it brought out self-awareness and a confidence in her decisions. We see it in the way she carries herself today and, yes, even in her hair. The vibrance and shine of each strand reflects the woman she has become.

Radiantly reborn

Each challenge helped resilience take root in their lives. Nourishing their talents with skills and life experience has brought change and growth. Both Mika and Ashley have opened up about how rediscovering themselves has led to not only inner strength but also better self-care. It shows in their bigger smiles and even shinier hair.

Breakage and dullness are signs of damage, but with the right care, bringing back strength and radiance is possible. In the same way, their careers bloom with renewed energy. Telling their stories through special Dove Reborn Theory vlogs show a clear theme – becoming stronger comes from enduring and bouncing back from difficult times. With proper care, damage can be repaired to restore what is beautiful. This becomes visible proof of persevering.
