Fall/Winter 2009 Hair Trends with Eric Del Monaco

ChickAdvisor met with Eric Del Monaco, Official Hair Artist and Colourist for L’Oréal Paris in Canada, to chat all things trendy in hair this season.

Backstage at Toronto Fashionweek, Del Monaco managed to answer our burning tress questions, chat with friends, give the final approval to hairstyles going out onto the runway, all the while effortlessly creating the structural updos seen on designer Zoran Dobric’s runway models.

“Last season was very clean, very polished,” said Del Monaco. This year you will see texture, he continued. Del Monaco explains that the outer layer of hairstyles will look polished and smooth, but the inner layer is rough – there will be a lot of back-combing this season, which will give styles volume and a bit of an edge.





“Dobric’s designs are always very geometrical,” explains Del Monaco, “I wanted the hair to have the same feeling.”

Del Monaco assures us that the updo he was putting the finishing touches on is something that can be done by girls at home.

It’s just two ponytails, one that gathers all the hair at the back, and one at the front. The ponytails are then pulled up, and forward. With a lot of twisting, back-combing and pinning, Del Monaco creates a structural and sweeping updo.





His favourite product for achieving this look, whether on the runway, or heading out to a club, is L’Oréal’s Studio Line Mineral FX hair cream. The look this season is rough, but “hair still has to be clean and hydrated” says Del Monaco.





To keep everything in place Del Monaco enthusiastically holds up his bottle of L’Oréal Elnett hairspray. “It’s vintage hairspray,” he exclaims. Not only does it bring back childhood memories, but it’s also the product used backstage at all of the Paris and Milan runway shows. Tres chic.
