Inspired by charcoal drawings of artist, Michelle Weadock, Christine Zilinski and her lead Salon Concrete Senior Stylist, Mallory, created dark, gothic-like drawings depicting a combination of iconic women, including Marilyn Monroe, and sketches of butterflies with gray scale tones and accents of bright pink. The result was Color Drain, a nod to the gray scale of the charcoal drawings with each model showing a piece of a gradient scale, working from platinum blonde to the bluest black.

The matte finish of the hair also represents the dry texture of the charcoal itself. To incorporate the butterfly drawings into the hair collection, each haircut was symmetric to embody the almost mirror image like quality of the butterfly wings. Hair wefts were splattered with muted pink tones which tied in the brightness from the butterflies, as well as created an airy-like movement.
