The style team at Sergio Bossi brings us a collection that is both wearable and at the leading edge of fashion. The collection features rich colors and textures - in warm and golden tones, as well as choppy or smooth-razor effects.
The overall trends of this collection lean towards organic looks - even the razor-cut platinum gamine style seems to exude a natural look for the model.
Smoothed Up-style
Carefully crafted, this up-style is smoothed in arcing lines from a side parting in order to create smooth, sharp lines. The sides are pulled back to join with the nape and crown in a cleanly defined twist.
The color is a golden-toasted blonde, lightened from a medium brown base. While too severe for a casual look, the style is perfect for the boardroom or a gala affair. Dress it up with jeweled hair accessories for black-tie glamour, or keep it simple for a corporate conference.
Soft Short Hair
Here we have a creamy-light confection of a hairstyle, crafted with razor-cut layers into a gamine look. The style spirals outward from the crown in a counter-clockwise fashion in soft, slight sweeps. Achieving the style is best with a blow-dryer and vented brush using styling product.
The primary difference between the two photos is that the first photo shows a more tousled look in the styling, while the style in the second photo is smoother and may result from flat iron styling for a straighter look.
Hair with an Outward Bend
Soft layering with razor-cut texture is the perfect look to showcase this blend of sable and espresso tones in hair color. The naturally sleek long hair is styled for volume with a gentle outward bend. These elements combined give the hair reflectivity and shine that enhance the depth of the color.
To achieve this look, blow dry the hair with the head inverted and finish drying upright with a large round brush to turn the ends outward. A light misting of hairspray helps control flyaway strands and maintains the volume throughout the day.
Classic Men's Look
This classic men's hairstyle calls to mind the dashing men of twenty years ago, with a modern adaptation. Traditional "short back and sides" gives way to chipped-in texture in naturally wavy hair. The hair is point-cut and thinned with shears for maximum movement.
Hold the style in place with wax-based products of a lighter nature, such as a wax-mousse. This gives the hair control and shine while keeping it malleable and allowing you to freshen things up throughout the day.
Big Soft Curls
This short hairstyle literally screams full volume with a mass of big, soft curls in a wedge-shaped cut. Broader than tall, the style is suited to a narrower face, while the sweeping curves of the silhouette are perfect for balancing sharp angles in the face shape and features.
The hair color is a warm, spicy cinnamon brown, and the looping curls are smooth enough to catch the light to maximum effect. The overall result is fluffy and soft with satiny curls and radiant glow.
