Pretty In Pastel

Spring is here and I am inspired!  So fun working with some amazing friends on this personal project.  Our super cute model Hannah rocked all of these looks and I am so excited to finally share it all!

Hair Talk:

For this shoot I got a bunch of platinum colored wigs from The Hair Shop and played around with Jerome Russell's colored hair sprays.  In order to create soft pastel colors, I made sure to evenly spray the color as  far away from the wigs as possible to diffuse it.  One trick I picked up in the experiment that worked like a charm was using white colored spray and Klorane's Dry Shampoo as a finishing touch to really give it a powdery soft texture

I'm a big fan of Graham Dunn's work, so it was a pleasure to finally work with him on this editorial for Foam magazine.  We shot at this really cool commune  in Topanga Canyon then moved to the gorgeous beach.  Besides the insanely cold winds, the day was beautiful  It's still weird to think that I make a living by working with cool people in cool places all day.  What a life!

Hair Talk:

1.  I misted Sabine's hair down with Unite's Beach Day and rough dried it with my fingers and a blow dryer.  Concentrating on lifting the roots and almost scrunching the mid-shaft to create a lived in second day texture.

2. Once the hair is completely dried, I used a 1inch iron to randomly curl the middle of the hair,m leaving the ends and roots untouched.  When curling, make sure you curl each strand in different directions .

3. Finish up with a little Big Sexy Hair's volumizing dry shampoo on the roots to soak up any oil and to give a little lift.  Evenly mist Unite's Trick Spray and a light hair spray on the ends for texture and separation.
