The hairstyles collection by Damien Rinaldo at Hair Machine in Adelaide, Australia, employs rich color tones and deeply textured wave patterns to create a selection of styles that are bold and alluring. Whether the styles are short and edgy, or long and full of volume, the waves and curls are cleanly defined and make the most of the color effects used.
These styles are perfectly suited to today's woman - suitable for most any lifestyle lifestyle lived by a woman who wants to look sharp and alluring. This collection is a true expression of "ready-to-wear" hairstyles.
Busy Woman Hairstyle
This short, layered haircut features deep-cut notching to create sharply pointed ends. The perimeter of the hair forms outwardly turned points, with ample volume in the top and crown sections to give the silhouette a large oval shape. This hairstyle is ideal for softening the angular features of the face, particularly in the chin and jaw areas, transforming a square face into a softer look.
The color is a rich, spicy auburn with fiery highlights weaving through the curls, adding depth and dimension to both the color and the textured cut. Whether you have naturally wavy hair or opt for a professionally done perm, this cut is perfect for the busy mom or businesswoman seeking a chic look without the need for extensive daily maintenance.
Long Voluminous Hair
This long, voluminous hairstyle evokes the majestic mane of a lion, with masses of large, satiny curls cascading to frame the face. The long, curled fringe adds a sweeping veil over the brow. Its deep coffee-brown color is subtly enriched with variances, giving the hair depth and vibrancy beyond a mere matte finish.
While this look is easily achieved with natural curls, it can also be created with a combination of wet-setting and ironed curls, finished with a mist of spray laminator and smoothing serum gently combed through the curls.
Although not a 'five-minute' style, with careful planning and protection against bed-head and friction frizz, this stunning look can be maintained effortlessly. For those seeking to showcase the best of their long, layered hair, this style is a perfect choice.
Gamine-Short Hairstyle
Gamine-short, beige-blonde, and boldly beautiful, this hairstyle is tailored for the woman who embraces her individuality. The sides and back are likely clipper-cut to achieve the super-short, smooth layers, while the crown and top remain longer, fashioned into a crown of golden peaks.
This blow-dry style employs structuring products to ensure the hair stands sturdily, with pomade or paste used to give the notched hair texture and definition. Tonal variations in the color mimic the 'sun-kissed' look of summer hair. While this look may not suit every woman, it's sure to turn heads for all the right reasons.
Shoulder-Length Bob
The shoulder-length bob epitomizes the new modern style, featuring fine texturing through point-cut ends at the perimeter and fringe. This creates a soft look without sacrificing cleanly defined edges. The color, a rich, deep cranberry, imparts a cool, jewel-tone glow to the hair.
Styling involves a smooth blowout, likely followed by flat-ironing with a smoothing product and shine enhancers. The finish is satiny yet not stiff, creating a stunning veil of hair to frame the face, making it a fashion statement in itself.
This versatile style suits any setting, though the intense hair color might seem too bold for casual occasions. However, you can achieve a similar effect with semi-permanent color products, allowing for a more subdued tone most of the time.
Smooth Cascading Waves
Lady Godiva was famed for her long, luxurious blonde hair. If she'd seen this hair, she would probably be jealous. The long, flowing locks are cut with a few layers around the face and styled into smooth, cascading waves. The color is a soft, beige blonde with golden highlights threaded throughout.
The styling is likely achieved with extra-large rollers and a giant-barrel iron to tweak the style. Brush out the curls to form long soft waves and use a misting of hairspray to set the shape. The goal is full lift and volume without a lot of actual curl. This is a style that will need a lot of work to maintain but is worth it when you consider all the attention it garners.
Face Shape Enhancing Cut
Here we have a cut that blends the smooth blunt lines of the bob with the contour of the bowl cut. The hairstyle features a smoothly curving perimeter that enhances the shape of the face and gracefully follows the curve of the neck.
The ends are subtly textured, and the lengths along the perimeter are slightly undercut to create the smooth inward turn of the hair, forming a flattering spherical silhouette that softens angular features.
The warm, soft brown hair color is illuminated at the forehead by slender streaks of blonde, adding brightness to the face and drawing attention to the eyes. The style is achieved by blow-drying with protective products (nothing too heavy) and a round brush, possibly followed by smoothing with a flat iron for the satin finish seen here.
A light misting of spray laminator can be applied for added sheen and to enhance the color's richness. While this style may not suit every woman, its simplicity and elegance make it adaptable to most environments.
