Inspiration can come from anywhere at any time — it then becomes translated into a look with shapes and colours representing our thoughts and ideas. Taking a look behind the scenes at the Industrial Culture image by Brian Leo McCallum of Roar Hair & Beauty, he notes that he drew inspiration for the industrial culture concept from a mix of sources. The colours of the ancient Mayans married together with an industrial feel of oxidised metal to create an image that shows a soft and strong look simultaneously! Below McCallum explains more about his look and how he created the image.
How To Get The Look: Industrial Culture
When creating the look, our goal was for the colour placement to entirely compliment the haircut and vice versa. This combined with the grey background really gives that industrial/metal vibe.
- First, we started with the haircut. The head was sectioned off in key areas where I wanted to keep out longer pieces or “tendrils”.
- Then I worked a tight crop haircut between these sections using a round graduation technique and disconnecting the fringe.
- I then used a “Halving” technique where half of my tendril section was coloured using a light sliver and the other half coloured using either our Maya Jade colour or our Aztec Peach colour. This technique provides a seamless blend of tones and really completes the look I was going for.
