Get your motor running, turn on the music, and find your own path. Rebellion is a favorite theme in fashion for good reason. Redefining the status quo, exploring boundaries, and breaking rules are not only part of adolescence but also what fuels creativity.
The uninhibited exploration of style and the limits of hair, while finding balance and perfection in shape, defines this unique collection of hairstyles by Sassoon Academy. Hair memories of the 1950s reappear in the form of quiffs and elongated front sections, now mixed with a dose of punk and plenty of inspiration.
Short Sleek Hairstyle
The sheen of black leather accompanies this short, sleek hairstyle. Depth and boldness go hand in hand with geometric lines and a flame-shaped fringe, enhanced by fused hair colors. Orange and purple in the outward-jutting bangs add an element of rebellion, breaking up the clear and sharp lines of the finely graduated cut.
The top hair increases in length towards the front, developing more texture as it progresses. The contrast creates excitement and fire.
Rockabella Hairstyle
Combine a 1950s vision of hair with modern curls and a feminine expression, and you get a look this enchanting. Contrast is key, as texture and color build up the vibration with smooth and curly sections juxtaposed against each other, and a dark base color glittering with specks of light.
The hair is short and graduated all around, reaching about the height of the temples. The entire top is curled, gradually lengthening from the back to the front, where the full and curly bangs cascade deeply over the face.
Asymmetrical Short Curls
Let extremes meet. Vivacious and bold in every aspect, this pitch-black hairdo is made to be shown off.
Large curls are shaped into a wedge by adjusting the length of the hair in gradually increasing layers, with the highest point at the back, slightly off to the side. The hair below is as short as fine velvet, presenting a very clean and geometric outline.
Fluttering Heights
The feathery lightness of this hairstyle is achieved with a lot of texture, an unusual part placement, and bold streaks of color. The hair is separated at an angle on the side of the crown, with blonde streaks going in both directions to illuminate the unique shape.
The tips are sliced and textured, styled to hover weightlessly. Shorter layers underneath support them and add to the volume of this intriguing avant-garde look.
Free-spirited Hairstyle
Long curls are so old school. Today, sweet and romantic hairstyles come in bolder shapes. The boldness of the cut and styling is softened by the warm glow of light blonde hair, which carries an air of innocence and seduction.
The fine, long layers are swept towards the back in one large puffy wave, forming a trendy pompadour. The overall texture, however, is ruffled, undone, and free-spirited.
Freestyle Spikes
Transitions are the theme for this short masterpiece—transitions from one texture to another and between lengths. Some are harmonious and flowing, while others are abrupt and seemingly random. However, there is a plan behind even the wildest textures, especially with the Sassoon name behind it.
The perimeter of this men's hairstyle is clipper-cut ultra-short, with a steep graduation in the back. The hair lengthens upward and even more forward on the crown. This is where the thrilling differences in lengths come in, all for a striking visual effect, but not as happenstance as it may appear.
The hair is fine-tuned with shorter sections supporting the longer ones, increasing the hold of this dramatic style. A single color, black-brown, is a logical choice for this much boldness.
