Curl and Shine by Clipso
The Clipso Artistic Team has created a collection of traditionally inspired hairstyles with modern twists.
Soft, defined curls and romantic styling counterpoint the ultra-sleek and ultra-chic looks of the modern or classic bob cut. The haircuts are at once hip, trendy and totally wearable.
Sleek A-Line Bob with Bangs
The Cut: Here we present a classic A-line bob with modern texturing, achieved by delicately softening the ends with a razor. The bangs are flawlessly even, forming a razor-sharp line just above the eyes, offering a striking contrast to the gentle taper of the hair at the sides.
The Color: This hairstyle features a flawlessly natural-looking sable black hue with subtle hints of coffee-brown highlights, imparting a glossy finish that complements the cut perfectly.
The Style: To achieve this look, simply blow-dry the hair using a round brush to achieve smoothness, applying a smoothing, protective balm. Then, use a flat iron to impart an ultra-sleek straightness to the hair.
Marilyn Monroe Look
The Cut: The hair in this photo is cut with minimal layering and razor-texturing at the ends to enhance softness.
The Color: Featuring an ultra-pale blonde shade reminiscent of platinum, this color perfectly complements the model's delicate pink skin tone.
The Style: This hairstyle is showcased on a model with naturally wavy hair. To achieve a similar look with your own wavy locks, start by blow-drying with a diffuser attachment and using volumizing mousse to maintain natural curls. Then, enhance the curls with a curling iron or Velcro rollers as needed.
Once the curls are set, define them with your fingers and apply a small amount of smoothing serum or styling balm. Finish with a light mist of hairspray for hold. The resulting look is soft and alluring, evoking the timeless allure of Marilyn Monroe.
Bob with an Asymmetrical Twist
The Cut: Here, we witness a short, bowl-shaped bob rejuvenated with the strategic application of hair extensions.
The Color: The hair boasts a rich dark brown hue, accentuated by broad strokes of burgundy highlights that infuse warmth throughout.
The Style: Transforming the typically short and sleek hairstyle, extensions have been artfully integrated at the nape and behind the ears, lending an asymmetrical twist to the look. After blow-drying the hair straight and adding extensions, a flat iron is used to achieve the sleek style showcased here.
For an added touch of brilliance, dispense a few drops of smoothing or glossing serum onto your palms and distribute evenly over the finished style, enhancing its shine and allure.
Textured Layers for Wavy Hair
The Cut: The hair is layer-cut and textured with a razor to add softness.
The Color: Featuring yet another pale blonde hue, this time with a soft golden undertone, complemented by delicate highlights in pale red-orange, adding depth and dimension.
The Style: Once again, we start with naturally wavy hair, enhancing its volume by applying mousse and using a diffuser to preserve the curls' natural shape. Next, the curls are amplified with a curling iron or Velcro rollers to increase volume. After misting the hair with spray, the curls are defined by gently scrunching and finger-combing.
When drying the hair, use your fingers to sweep the fringe to the side, holding it away from the scalp for maximum lift. Finish the look with a light mist of hairspray for hold.
