SUPERMODEL HAIR BY FRENCH HAIR LEGEND SERGE NORMANT
How did Serge Normant create Cindy's lush style? He tells VIOLET GREY it takes just four easy steps in
1. Prep & Dry: To begin, apply Serge Normant Meta Lush Volumizer to damp locks, concentrating on the roots, and blow-dry strands smooth with a medium-sized round brush. The goal is to dry hair while creating bend at the ends and lift at the crown. 2. Add texture & lift: To further amplify the roots and create extra fullness, grip, and texture, spray Normant's Meta Revive Dry Shampoo onto partings all over the head. 3. Curl & Pin: Create pin curls in a few deceptively simple steps. Wrap hair around a 1 or 1.25-inch iron, hold until hot slide the iron out without unraveling the hair, and pin the intact curl to the scalp to cool. 4. Brush & Smooth: Once hair is completely cool, release the pins and gently brush through the curls with a natural bristle brush (Violet says try Y.S. Park's Tortoise Wood Air Vent Cushion Flat Eco Styler Hair Brush.) For a soft finish that's touchable, avoid hairspray. Instead, run a few drops of Normant's Meta Sheer Finishing Oil through locks to finish the look.

CINDY'S ANTI-AGING STRATEGY, AS TOLD TO VIOLET GREY: On taking care of your skin: "…Results are cumulative. When a 35 year-old starts taking care of her skin, she won't look different. It's when you're my age that you start seeing the payoff."
On honoring a milestone birthday: "I thought that writing a book, compiling photos and writing essays about my experiences might be an interesting way to turn 50. It's probably what we should all do on our birthdays, to take a look back to examine our lives. When you're in the middle of something you can't see as clearly, so… it's been a great journey for me to look back and reflect…"
On aging with grace: "The secret is that there is no secret. Do all the stuff we know: Don't smoke, get enough sleep, drink plenty of water, find what makes you happy."
On missing the nineties: "Remember back in the ‘90s when people thought that a big bowl of pasta was a low-calorie option? Those were the days! Today, eating that is like eating a sundae.
