Damien Rinaldo's collection of hair designs is simply that: designs. These hairstyles are works of art created using the truest elements of the medium, making each one unique and distinct.
With styles that range from super-sleek and straight to full-volume curls, Damien manages to create modern, edgy looks that flatter the model who wears them. He appears unafraid, taking on challenges many stylists would cringe at. His use of hair color and highlighting is bold and inventive, combining rich, shimmering tones with earthy base colors for a stunning result.
Hair with Heavily Textured Edges
This short layered hairstyle features asymmetrical lines and heavily textured edges. Even when blown straight, the styling provides ample motion to the look. This effect is energized by the warm streaky highlights against the rich brown base color. The heavily razor-textured edges of the style add softness to the framing of the face.
The overall look is a combination of funk and sophistication, making for a marvelous counterpoint. This style would be equally at home on a Paris runway, in a Hollywood nightclub, or at a New York Gala.
Central Parting and Curls
Few stylists do curls well, and this hairstyle is a true exception. The warm, rich auburn tones of the glossy tresses showcase the inner glow of the hair to best effect. The curls themselves are "de"-fined, rather than "con"-fined, and the volume builds in a controlled measure along the length of the style.
From the central parting, the long hair seems to move in a fractal motion outward and down into a myriad of intertwining twists and turns, creating both a visually interesting and aesthetically pleasing look.
Choppy Short Hairstyle
Here we see a golden-haired beauty. This edgy hairstyle is a short layered look, with choppy texture and styling that makes ample use of the hair's natural wave and texture. The hair color is enhanced with finely executed highlighting to add dimension, warmth, and sparkle.
The result isn't so much a hairstyle as it is a crown of gold. It's a look that's perfect for many occasions and one that will work well for many facial types. Dress it up as shown by adding some extra glitz, or dress it down and STILL turn heads on any downtown street.
Precision Shaped Bob
At first glance, this hairstyle appears to be carved from highly polished cherry wood. The rich, warm color and the smooth, glossy finish create such a clean, sleek look that the style seems like one solid piece rather than made of hundreds of thousands of strands.
The cutting is pure precision, a carefully shaped bob that contours to follow the lines of the head with some asymmetrical variance and the finish of a long, smooth tail grown out from the nape of the neck.
This is hair as high-fashion - smooth as silk and soft as mink - and the close-framing effect around the eyes gives it a sultry quality that recalls the femmes fatales and vamps of Hollywood's Golden Age.
Short Hair with Razor-Soft Texture
This hairstyle is a beautiful example of the virtues of asymmetry and razor-soft texture. A short layered style with a long, side-swept fringe, blown straight and styled to contour to the shape of the skull, the cut enhances the lines of the long, graceful neck. The side texture and fringe give balance to the long lines of the jaw, cheeks, and nose.
The look is exotic, yet comforting and compelling. You want to reach out and touch the sable strands to see if they are as silky as they look. And I guarantee you that most any man who sees the style will spend at least the first few moments wishing he could be that wispy lock that lightly brushes your cheek.
Cutting Edge Style
It takes a special woman who can look both beautiful and imposing, and this is a cut that will help make that statement clearer. With a clean, sharp line from ear to ear and longer, razor-shaped layers in the nape area, this style is nothing less than 'cutting edge.
When you add in the bold splashes of color, the look goes from funky to fantastic. The smooth styling gives it a finish that says 'don't mess with me.'
This is a look that screams 'look at me' but also warns that there is a 'don't you dare touch' in there somewhere. It's a style that would be at home anywhere the lights are flashing, the music is loud, and bodies are in constant motion.
