Visionary hair stylist Cyndia Harvey gives Elephant a behind-the-scenes look at her otherworldly “Neptune Noir” segment from the Black Hair Reimagined show. Featuring netted textures, rippled shapes, and fluid silhouettes, the collection explored otherworldly forms inspired by the deep sea and outer space.
“Where it all began. Bringing the vision to life, one look at a time.”“Precisely sculpted, hand-crafted waves of colour, heat-fused with an iron to achieve a seamless, multidimensional highlight effect.”“Configuring wave direction to define the core structure and flow.”“Preliminary positioning of each wave to establish flow and symmetry.”“The first step in creating the opening look — siliconing the hair to the base structure.”“Glossed in high-shine inky black coating, adding intensity, enhancing the curves and contours of the piece.”“Giant fans necessary. Sealing the inky black coating.”“The Netted cascade hanging in place, ready for its final stitch.”“Neptune Nior — the aftermath.”
