If you believe the publicity, The Hunger Games is poised to be the next teen sensation. The first in four films adapted from the popular novel, an artistic relationship between Hollywood stylist Cherry Petenbrink and Joico to establish the film’s look has begun.
Petenbrink says she wanted the look to be ‘trend-setting and visionary, not clown-like’, creating a style consisting of brights and pastels for the film’s leads and over 500 extras. Using Joico’s Vero K-Pak hair colour in a vast shade selection helped her vision come to life.
Adding an element to the challenge was protecting and perfecting the hair in the blazing North Carolina summer. She also reveals that Joico Design Collection Stylers, Dry Spray Wax and Humidity Blocker, Joico JoiMist firm hairspray and Joico Brilliantine Pomade were the go-to formulas for designing and maintaining the film’s futuristic hairstyles.
