BUNDYBUNDY's latest trend collection

In 2006, the world of fashion was dominated by contrasting looks. Marc Jacobs, Comme des Garcons, Karl Lagerfeld, Viktor & Rolf, and Armani all shared one thing in common: they worked with the dynamics of black and white, oscillating between innocence and the mythical, sometimes frivolous facets of life.

A BUNDYBUNDY woman is sure to indulge in all these aspects—this multifaceted collection is dedicated to her. The highly innovative cutting techniques offered by BUNDYBUNDY provide female customers with the freedom to choose between a straightforward business look, a trendy styling, or the diva look.

"Hairdo in progress" is the motto BUNDYBUNDY has adopted: to earn its name, every haircut must allow for a minimum of three different hairstyles! As Gertrude Stein might have put it: a bob is not just a bob. Come and join us - BUNDYBUNDY is throwing all conventional hairstyling rules overboard! Nothing is impossible. BUNDYBUNDY is turning the industry's practices upside down.

BUNDYBUNDY's trends in cutting techniques

How to adapt the sixties look for the year 2006 - that was the question. In light of the latest hair mega-trend, the young and dynamic BUNDYBUNDY artistic team, headed by Hannes Steinmetz, delved into the corporate archives. It was back then that celebrated world-champion hair stylists Hans and Georg Bundy made an international name for themselves with innovative ideas and styling. Remaining true to their belief in constant change, the new trend collection of 2006 only vaguely resembles the designs used back then.

Unlike in times past, layered and asymmetrical bobs and pageboy cuts now have a softer touch, and the hair's natural volume is enhanced by supreme cutting techniques. However, these haircuts maintain clean lines, thereby translating the intense and stylish sixties look into today's world. Here's an interesting tidbit: Hans and Georg Bundy's couture concepts have endured for more than four decades.

BUNDYBUNDY trend colors and hair care

In Austria and beyond, BUNDYBUNDY is always at the cutting edge of style. Therefore, BUNDYBUNDY's hair artists always strive to enhance each customer's innate beauty instead of suggesting a total changeover that might soon be out of style. For the 2006 season, BUNDYBUNDY suggests emphasizing your hair's natural color with top-of-the-line coloring products, transforming an average red hair color into a stunning copper red and a boring brown into a luminous chestnut. The latest trend in hair coloring at BUNDYBUNDY is called Colorpainting. They use up to six different shades of color to achieve a highly personalized coloring, offering a uniquely fascinating look.

And here's more pleasant trend news from the world of BUNDYBUNDY: BUNDYBUNDY women are rediscovering the sixties hype in all its aspects: hair care, blow-drying, and styling. There has been a growing number of customers asking for a unique "couture" hairstyle to honor special occasions. Elaborate hairpieces are frequently requested, and sometimes, customers ask for trendy hair extensions. Not surprisingly, BUNDYBUNDY salons are Austria's prime address for getting that extra special look.

Short Circle Cut

Short layered circle cut with a contour that follows the shape of the skull

This hairstyle and the styles shown in photos two and three are created using the same cut. The haircut is a short-layered circle cut with a weight line that follows below the parietal ridge and dips around the crown area to just above the occipital bone. The layered cut is textured to give a softer contour, following the shape of the skull and minimizing the bulk of the weight line.

The hair color is a bold, neutral blonde: it's an ultra-pale shade that serves as a great medium for the style. The styling is simple, involving blowing out the hair using a vented brush and a light-hold product. A dab of smoothing serum applied afterward adds definition to the hair.

Haircut Styled for Maximum Volume

Here we see the short layered cut styled with maximum volume. In this hairstyle, the hair is coated before drying with a firm-hold styling product - such as a sculpting paste or gel - and blow-dry styled with a vented brush for maximum lift.

The fullness and volume create a soft yet funky style. The addition of wax-based pomade after styling can further reinforce the structure of the style and add definition to the locks.

Hair Backcombed into a Roll

The latest styling variation based on the same short haircut as in photos one and two is a meticulously sculpted and structured look inspired by the 'pompadour' of yesteryear. The hair on the sides, crown, and nape is smoothed upward in a curve that follows the contours of the skull.

A fringe area is created where the hair length is backcombed into a bulky mass and then smoothed into a roll. This style requires liberal use of a strong, structure-enhancing product (usually wax-based) and a finishing coat of hairspray to achieve a sleek, smooth finish and maximum hold.

Silky Glossy Red Hair

This photo, along with photos five and six, depicts hairstyles based on another cut. In this instance, we have a shoulder-length, razor-executed circle cut in a fiery red shade of color. The first style is blown out smooth with a round brush and a medium-hold styling product.

The brush is then used to flip up the ends of the style, creating an asymmetrical hairstyle that is silky and glossy. A light mist of hairspray and the edge of a hairbrush or the flat of a comb can be used to keep the style sleek and smooth.

Red Curls

The second version of the 'red haircut' showcases a 'max volume' option for those who love curls. These curls can be achieved through various methods: using rollers or styling appliances. The easiest and most long-lasting curls would be created via a wet roller set.

After shampooing and conditioning, saturate the hair with a medium to firm hold styling product. Divide the hair into sections and wrap each section around small to medium rollers so that the rollers rest halfway off the base. Once dry, brush out the hair and style it as desired. A dab of smoothing serum and/or hairspray can be used to add definition to the curls and reinforce the hold.

Smoothed Back

This third style of the 'red cut' is the most structured of the three. The hair is divided into four main sections: top and fringe, left side, right side, and crown and nape. The hair is blow-dried to a mostly dry state before constructing the hairstyle. Use a strong-hold product such as a wax-based mousse or similar styling product.

Start with the side sections, smoothing them back toward the crown of the head and securing the hair at the crown. Then, style the hair in the crown area, smoothing it forward to curve along the side of the face. Finally, the top and front section should be lightly backcombed to create a little lift in the front before being smoothed back to cover the crown and obscure the anchor points there.

Pageboy Cut

The rich, natural chestnut brown color of this model's hair is styled into a pageboy cut. The hair is cut to the base of the neck and trimmed to frame the face. The fringe area is curved to closely hug the brow line, and the ends of the hair are textured to create a soft line along the perimeter of the hairstyle.

The hair is styled by blow-drying with a round brush, using a smoothing serum, and applying a light-hold styling product. After drying and initial styling, a dab of smoothing serum applied to the palms and spread over the head will enhance the shine and smooth finish of the hair.

Longest Lasting Curl

This hairstyle enhances the pageboy cut by adding volume and structure with masses of curls. The longest-lasting curls are created by wrapping the hair on medium rollers and allowing it to dry. Direct the rollers to follow the contour of the skull. Once dry, brush out the curls and backcomb the hair to enhance volume in certain areas.

A light mist of spray and scrunching will create definition in the style and add stability and structure. Avoid making the style too uniform, as asymmetry and a rougher finish create an edgy look that updates a classic hairstyle.
