Slow Immersion

Winnie Truong's latest show, Slow Immersion  is a surreal collection of dreamy tresses. The Toronto artist explores our relationship with hair beyond aesthetic beauty, but as a meditation on  expression, personality and security. 

Curls, waves and braids entwine with portraits and body parts to create fantasies that are both winsome and unsettling.

These drawings could be the ethereal fairytale princess--

or the thing that eats the princess.




Truongs exhibition is currently on display at Mulherin + Pollard NYC

Inspiration: The Power Mane

The CG goes in depth with Milwaukee rocker, Maxwell Emmet (guitar shredder of Revolush and Tigernite) to reveal the secrets of his stand out style and sage advice for achieving a righteous power mane.

 How long have you and your hair known each other?

Pretty much all of my life. There's that awkward middle period when  you don't talk to each other but after that, it's been a pretty solid brothership.



 What's the best part about having long hair?

Girls love to ask me about it and touch it—tell me they're jealous of my curls. It requires no talent on my part. Random people talking to you and touching you...and of course head banging ability.


Does having awesome hair make you a better guitar player?

Absolutely. I think the correlation between hair length and ability to rock has been proven throughout rock history.





































Is it possible that your hair has any super powers?

I haven't noticed any yet. However, I think we'd have to cut it to find out. It's possible-- If I cut it, I'd fear spiraling into depression...

Do you have any words of wisdom for other power mane seekers on their journey?

For the fellas I'd say, getting past that awkward medium length where you have doubts and cut it off, you'll never reaching your full mane potential.

The moral of the story is to never give up?

Never give up.


That's beautiful.


Pro Tip: Investing in a good conditioner and pony-holders, as well as the Will to Succeed are essential to cultivating a worthy power mane.

No Party Like a Gatsby Party

Baz Luhrman's sparkling adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's decadent and foreboding novel, The Great Gatsby has been making waves with designers as well as stylists.  Clean and crisp is in this summer!

Carey Mulligan as Daisy is pixie perfect in an elegantly accessorized bob.

Historically, the Bob was shock-rocking. It signified a new expressive wave of freedom and made a statement about the women who boldly wore it. The cut made its mass media debut in 1920 via the Saturday Evening Post with its infamous article, “Bernice Bobs Her Hair”.

Madness (and hotness) ensued.


DiCaprio as Gatsby sporting a smooth close cut with just enough length to keep it romantic.

In the new decade, gentlemen departed from slicked back single length cuts and transitioned into dramatic parts, Marcel waves and sexy smooth fades.

Pair it with a glass of champagne?
Perfection.

DO NOT EAT: Bumble and Bumble Thickening Crème Contour



Crème Contour is the latest brainchild of the B&B Thickening line. I decided to get my hands dirty for hair science and see if I could achieve the bodacious and lived-in look that the product boasts. 

I am PICKY about pommade. My hair is exceptionally processed, and because of it's dry texture the waxiness of pommade often achieves a less than glamorous finish and more of an product dread-lock.   

My freshly blow dried mess: the result of David Lynch mating with a bag of cotton candy. 

With the consistency of soft butter and light tea tree scent, it took serious will power not to eat the Crème. The botanical bouquet that isn't blatantly flowery or overpowering, making it ideal for ladies and gents. 

I melted a nickel sized dollop on my fingers and worked it through blow dried hair, focusing on the sections that I wanted to de-friz and define. 




From baby bird fuzz to luxe pompadour! Hair miracles happen every day...

A  little goes a long way, but adding additional layers delineated the curls without making the hair heavy or greasy. (To achieve this look I paired the Thickening Crème Contour with B&B Surf Spray for a little grit and oomph.) The Crème remains soft and shiny as it sets leaving locks looking full and nourished. 

Bonus: As someone with color treated hair who doesn't wash their mop daily, this product wears well over time.  No dingy day-after dust or stickiness.  (Pro Tip: Pair this product with the B&B Thickening Mousse for some serious photo shoot fantasy hair!)
