Ashley Gamble for F.A.M.E Team 07
Ashley Gamble takes vibrancy to new levels with this pair of very short haircuts. As part of the F.A.M.E. Team 07, the operative word here is obviously bold: bold color, bold texture, and bold silhouette.The hairstyles are based on the same cut and feature decisive visual aspects in the way the hair is directed and the overall shape created by different styling arrangements.
Short Razor Cut
The hair is cut in a very short, extremely asymmetrical razor cut. In fact, the level of asymmetry is so pronounced that the haircut almost appears random. The layers are choppy and deeply textured to soften the ends, giving the finished hairstyle a feathery and airy look.
The product most likely used is a styling putty or paste, adding structure and texture to the look while keeping it malleable. Applying an extra dab of product on the fingers after blow-drying allows for the creation of defined strands and added texture in the fringe and perimeter tendrils.
Long Side-Lock
Starting from the same base cut, this reworking introduces elements of traditional styling. The hair is given a hidden part on the right side of the top section and styled to add volume and lift to the top.
The portion of the hair that would form what seems to be a half fringe is directed in an upward sweep, and the long side-lock is partially tucked behind the right ear. The varied angles and lines of direction for styling create depth of color, enhancing the matte fiery red appearance.
Once again, this very short hairstyle is achievable with a blow-dry style and structuring product. A firmer finish can be achieved through the application of hairspray to give the ends of the hair a sharper point.
