Winter Hair:  Take care of your hair this season! Fight harsh winter elements by hydrating, protecting and nurturing brittle, flat and damaged hair. Wella System Professional Power Mask is designed to smooth and condition severely damaged hair, while improving manageability and shine.

Tip: Cold weather drains the moisture from your hair. Wear a scarf, hat or cap to protect your hair from the cold and wind. This will also help to prevent knots and dry ends. Stash a smoothing balm in your purse to tame flyaways.

DKNY Fall 2010 – Hair by Wella’s Eugene Souleiman and Eva Scrivo.

The Look: A refined side-swept ponytail projects a sexy equestrian vibe with a subtly strong, yet not too masculine look. The ponytail’s length falls over the shoulder on the side where hair is parted, while just a few face framing layers are left to brush along on the opposite side of the face. The effortless elegance of this asymmetric look complements the proportions of any face because it offsets any imbalance of the facial structure.

Inspiration: The fall ’10 DKNY collection encapsulates NY art and soul, reflecting the convergence of creative worlds and individual style that is the spirit of New York City. The graphic, modern, and unique style resonates throughout the collection, including silhouettes as tall and lean as the skyline. A neutral palette of blacks, charcoal, umber, vicuna and oxblood is brightened with accents of bluebird, sapphire, peach, and oyster. Pieces are architecturally paneled with color, texture, and pattern, but maintain the versatility of the classic urban and sporty chic modernism befitting of NYC sophistication.

Looks like it’s time to break out the Manic Panic. The big beauty trend for hair at Fashion Week was bright, chunky streaks of color that brought to mind punk-inspired street style circa 1996. At the Cynthia Rowley Fall 2010 fashion show, Eva Scrivo for Wella Professionals custom colored hair extensions in shades of emerald, lapis, amethyst, navy and turquoise to replicate the rich jewel tones present in the collection. Each hair extension was completely saturated with professional salon haircolor and then woven into the hair and styled, creating an element of surprise and intrigue when models hit the runway.

In this interview Eva Scrivo talks about why she has decided on a career in hairdressing and some of her biggest breaks as a top colorist. Gives advice on hair and on what does it take to have a career as a top hairdresser. You will also find out which city Eva loves the most.

Marta Walsh: When and why did your fascination with hair begin?
Eva Scrivo: Growing up, I was an avid student of the arts. Painting, pottery and theatre were all subjects I loved. This absolutely laid the groundwork which led me to choose a creative field like hairdressing as a career.

For Thakoon’s Spring ’10, Eugene Souleiman, runway hair extraordinaire and Global Creative Director for Wella Professionals, and Wella’s master runway colorist Eva Scrivo collaborated on the overall hair look, which resulted in a merging of East and West for a sleek, sculpted, surfer inspired ‘do. Model Abby Lee (below) sported the style off the runway also and the hair color adds a completely new dimension to the look. Scrivo hand painted extensions using Wella Professionals to create depth of color with a natural, ombre effect – a trend we’ll be seeing much more of come spring!
