Pompadour Roll

Inspired by springtime in Paris, Catherine Malandrino’s spring 2009 show was layered with lovely ’40s- and ’50s-inspired silhouettes. To complement the collection, an updo from the latter years of the era was adapted—only instead of Lucille Ball’s neatly pinned head of curls, lead hairstylist Odile Gilbert added a splash of rockabilly by way of a skinnier, more compact chignon. Another point of difference? Multidimensional highlights, courtesy of Wella Professional: “We added highlights on the models to give more definition to the hairstyle,” says Gilbert. To achieve the updo, Gilbert fashioned a ponytail on top of the head, curled the hair, and added a piece of colored hair extension. After rolling and pinning tresses into a high chignon, she smoothed the sides with Sebastian Professional Taming Elixir; to hold the look, she finished with Sebastian Professional Shaper Fierce.
