Suddenly it was cool to have your hair lank . . . It was a whole different way of looking at things, and it shook up the whole industry.

I took Instagram off my phone! I took it off because I found I was looking at it too much.

I think to many people, textured curls still signify 'difference.' And kids like to pick on what's different.

To be a good hairdresser, you have to understand what the vision is of the designer or the photographer and then sort of add your thing.

All hair is away from the face - there's no emotion and all of the personality is taken away. I envisioned the way a 'virtual girl' is drawn in a cartoon. Then I added these different colored extensions - white, red and black, which adds to the synthetic feeling of the hair. I used colors which looked most dramatic against each of the models' real hair. The different colors give you that pop of fakeness so we're not talking about reality. Like a futuristic princess.

I used to have more meltdowns backstage than I do [now].... It's not that it was ever cool, but right now, it just seems very uncool to have a meltdown. I'm not saying I'll never have one! But I've learnt to stop it just before it happens.

I try to be aware of technology and Japanese animation and old Belgian paintings, and get all my references from bits of everywhere.
