This hairstyle collection is dedicated to Adrian Wood, creative director and co-founder of eye'candy, who sadly passed away in December 2005.
Inspired by the elegance of aristocratic beauty from a bygone era, this collection combines womanly silhouettes with the innocence of youth. Classic styles take unexpected twists with fairytale curls and light, playful textures.
Sweet Fringe
A certain amount of mischievousness suits even the most refined women. This level of texture in a chic short haircut is just the right thing to express the free spirit that resides within. A beautiful floral shape unfolds its splendor in a light blonde glow, with the layers increasing in length from the top to the adorable little tip at the lower end of the bangs.
Asymmetrical, diagonal, and softened with a point-cutting technique, this small pixie cut has a big impact. Wear it with gently tousled styling and spiked-up sections of hair, or smooth it out as shown in the next image.
Silky Short Cut
Fresh-spun silk is perhaps the only material that could equal this charming short hairstyle in its softness and arresting appeal. Short in the back and jaw-length in front, this flattering hairdo makes it clear that she is unique.
Fine texture throughout the tips makes the edges soft, an effect that is further enhanced with the baby blonde hair color. The asymmetry is achieved with a side part and different lengths on both sides. Tucking one side behind the ear adds even more adoring looks.
Party Styling
What to do with a short haircut to get it ready for a glamorous night and the party of the year? Consult with your stylist about the best styling products for your hair type, and then get creative! This alluring example features sides combed down and behind the ears, while the longer top hair was styled upwards, then forwards, and then all around in a wild rush of blonde.
Another accentuating strand on her forehead moves in the opposite direction. Get inspired and play with your hair. Overlap it, layer it, or spike it up. Gels, pomades, and waxes are the weapons of choice.
Brunette Bob with Curls
Show off your pretty neckline with a short, high-volume bob. Large curls and sleek bangs up the ante and exude a sight of seductive elegance. Posh and sexy, this hairstyle doesn't even try to be humble or low-maintenance. But it's all worth it.
The neck is short, sexy, and graduated, topped by hands full of thick, luscious curls, all brought to perfection with the front tips curved into the face. As a thrilling contrast, the thick and straight-cut fringe remains straight.
Noble Simplicity
When it comes to long hair, less is often more. Keep the hair healthy and shiny, and give it a good cut regularly, and you're halfway there. This sophisticated image of long hair grandeur is elevated with the side part, resulting in a long curved fringe, as well as the large waves and curls in the lower areas. Sleek and neat on top transitions into churning passion, illuminated by subtle highlights.
After blow-drying, the hair can either be shaped with a curling iron or thick rollers. A curl-enhancing mousse and scrunching alone can suffice if there's a bit of a natural wave pattern in the hair already.
Upstyled Bangs and Spirals
Long hair all dressed up! Get ready for the cocktail party or a day on the yacht with a face-liberating look featuring a lifted fringe that is softly shaped and pinned on top. The remaining hair is curled into long corkscrews and just a little tousled.
Elegant and yet effortless styling with emphasis on round shapes, wide curves, and feminine flair. The expression is vintage but with a modern finish.
