There is always a hair colour trend whether it is rainbow brights to ombre styles.
On the AW19 Mary Katrantzou’s catwalk show, hair colour pro, Josh Wood, showed us the behind the scenes colour creations. Josh is known as the go-to for catwalk colour, he is the man behind candy floss hair at Marc Jacobs’ Spring/Summer Show. For Mary Katrantzou show he wanted to create hair that went with her prints.
Josh told GLAMOUR UK :”Mary’s collection is sectioned into four worlds relating to the four elements; earth, wind, fire and water. We’ve worked with the amazing fabrics in the collection to create two patterned hair techniques that we’ve called ‘Colour Clouds’ and ‘Horizon Colour’.
“For ‘Colour Clouds’ we created a centre of intense colour that blurs and blends out to the palest colour on the edges,” says Redken’s Global Colour Creative. He reveals the team looked at Rothko paintings for colour inspiration, and Monet for the colour blends. Also, working with show makeup artist Lynsey Alexander, to see how the relationship with the hair colour worked with the colours in the collection.
The team set to work with sponges to layer, paint and smudge Redken’s professional City Beats colour onto the hair pieces. “At the fitting we tried them out and this look worked best on dark blondes and lighter shades, so these pieces will be added to the girls that have a light hair base.”
He added: “For the darker haired girls, we’ve created ‘Horizon Colour.
“The extensions are coloured dark at the root, in shades of ink, emerald, or violet and fade out in a reverse ombre to paler ends.”
He wanted the finish hair look to be very undone with raw natural texture to showcase the colours.
