Inspiration:
Through crisis, moments of creativity emerge to nurture the spirit and provide escapist relief from the harsh reality. For her fall 2009 collection, Catherine Malandrino has drawn on the Surrealist movement, which emerged in the 1930s after “Black Thursday” as a way for artistic ingenuity to uplift the community and inject life back into society. The new Malandrino collection is inspired by the colors of Surrealism, as well as the mood and feelings portrayed by the movement itself.
The Look:
To achieve this Surrealist inspired look, Malandrino, Odile Gilbert, and Eva Scrivo collaborated for an end result both unexpected and curious—alluding to the artists of this era. A sleek, sophisticated chignon pushes the creative envelope when crafting multiple shapes, while colored extensions and netting add dimension and life to make this updo anything but typical. “The colored extensions themselves are a beautiful intermingling of light to dark tones, which we will customize for a unique look on each model,” says Odile. "It's modern art without being pretentious.”
Style: Step-by-Step
1. Prepare hair with Shine Define to protect hair from hot tools used during styling and also leave a shinier finish.
2. Tightly comb up hair to the front/top of the head into one ponytail; spray with Sebastian Professional hair spray: Shaper Zero Gravity as you comb, then Re-Shaper to hold.
3. Separate the models’ hair (if long) into three sections.
4. Using extensions, create three-four chignons interweaving pieces from the models’ real hair.

Color: Step-by-Step in Salon
1. During the consultation process, let your colorist know if you are looking for a bolder feeling or a more natural look.
2. Using the Wella swatch book, work with your colorist to choose the tonal pillar most appropriate for your desired end result.
3. Colorist should begin by sectioning off the top of the head and clip out of the way. Working in horizontal sections around the head, they should use a combination of highlight and lowlight tones and paint vertically down the hair shaft. Alternating the order of the color placement gives the haircolor a more organic, less symmetrical feel. The final result will be a soft melding and interplay of tones that change as the hair moves.
