POP 360 Tuesday 3 August 2010
Today's POP is Shala. Coming to you straight from the set of a Mario Testino shoot.
“Glamour, I want Shala in glamour.” That’s the pronouncement Mario Testino made on set for V Magazine. “Slicked back, I want it slick, very eighties, Studio 54, very glam.” Meanwhile my hair is in a big afro. I look around and there’s not a black person doing hair on the set. “Are you sure Mario, I mean it could take a while, to get this kink out of my hair you’re going to have to wet it.”
We decided to do something similar to what I’d done for the Met Ball, but that was still asking for trouble. Oribe, the head hair stylist did not seem fazed, in his trunk among all kinds of contraptions to tame an untame the wildest hair was a line of his own products. I must say I loved Oribe’s approach to doing hair. His philosophy is that a woman knows her hair best and the best way is to listen to what she has to say.
Long story short, if you’re tying to look as swanky as Josephine Baker, or a silver screen siren in two seconds, wet your hair and put some Rock Hard Gel in there and you’re good to go, to the disco, dance till dawn, break a sweat but not your do.
