Wig work allows hair artists incredible flexibility, giving professionals a possibility to chop, style and color without borders. It’s always impressive to work out how the trendy community uses talent to head extreme or hold back to create beautiful finishes. For this collection, Christopher Dove offers his view of the hair of the long run, inspired by The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Dove, in conjunction with The Doves team, created most of the wigs for the film.

It’s unusual when a salon owner/platform artist/global spokesperson/celebrity stylist can find the time to also create wigs for a movie. But Christopher Dove, co-owner of The Doves Studio in Santa Monica, California and Top Artist for Wella Professionals and Hairdreams, couldn’t resist when Linda Flowers, Hair Designer and Department Head, invited Dove and his team to create wigs for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Under Flowers direction, Dove and his team of 10 created greater than 200 wigs for the film. They spent several months working hundreds of hours to perfect the pieces. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is the second one inside the Hunger Games trilogy. “It is decided sooner or later,” says Dove, “I was asked to come back up with some ideas about how the folk often city, the Capitol, would look. The very wealthy residents are quite individual, but fighting to face out.”

With this data as inspiration, Dove got busy. After the movie wrapped, while the remainder of the team got back to salon work, Dove couldn’t stop creating The Hunger Games wigs. He continued to design looks he thought would still work inside the film and for girls at some point. “It’s all about interesting shapes and colours which have mixed textures and multiple shades. Texture on top of texture, color on top of color. The appearance are more couture than avant garde.” To benefit more in regards to the wig creation and color formulas, visit modernsalon. com and search “Hunger Games.”
