BALLOON Collection by JAVIER GOMAR

Who has not ever caught a balloon? Playing with them, we see how depending on the pressure we exert, we can highlight and change their shape completely. You can see how there are different types that we can mold under our criteria and imagination, but could we get the hair to adapt as if it were a balloon?

The idea of this collection, Balloon Collection, is based on investigating whether it is possible to dry the hair in a way that makes it completely opaque, while maintaining the volume and brilliance of the colour.

Once the previous point had been developed, Javier Gomar discovered a way to change its shape with his fingers as if he were holding a balloon of hair in his hands. For this reason, in this collection he has looked for geometries with the different cutting styles made with the aim of being able to mold them with ease. In addition, it is visible how, depending on the pressure exerted at all times, it is possible to highlight the areas, creating different blocks, more polished or different volumes on the same plane.

To carry out this amazing project, he has followed the commercial vanguard as a vehicle style. In other words, an evolution of hair that, from an avant-garde starting point, achieves its more commercial version that Javier Gomar likes so much. Another of the great achievements of this collection at a technical level is that it has been worked entirely with complete pieces – without false pieces added later. To do this, the hairdresser has investigated the way that would allow him to make hair being pressed to a certain point, creating plane jumps. In the process of creating these spectacular images, the use of different tools and techniques was necessary, although in the end it was the work with the hands that allowed visualization to be achieved. As for the coloration, the color transition has been sought in a slightly more transgressive version than that of such cold colors. The background has been designed entirely in plastic with the idea of showing a changing environment that is far from the 100% white backgrounds of past collections.
