Blonde Bob with Bangs
This soft blonde bob with bangs pairs beautifully with a shiny silver turtleneck. The bob, cut just under the chin, is one of the most versatile and beautiful hairstyles ever. Featuring an extra-long fringe slightly parted in the center and softened at the ends, it emphasizes the eyes and complements the glossy rollneck top, showcasing an ingenious integration of hairstyle and outfit.
The bob's length is perfect for highlighting the soft, shiny turtleneck, though it also looks stunning with bare shoulders. With soft volume and a curve that follows the shape of the head, this style strikes a balance between elegance and versatility, offering a timeless chic that always feels contemporary.
Soft Curls with Bangs
This modern, romantic look features long, brown hair with curls and straight, brow-length bangs. The combination of soft curls and straight bangs creates a festive and glamorous hairstyle, enhanced by lighter strands along the sides.
The light chestnut color adds a precious gleam to the dark brown base, perfectly complementing the bright golden sequins of her dress. Even without a grand gala gown, this hairstyle radiates luxury.
Angelic Updo
This angelic updo exudes poetry and romance, reminiscent of great fashions from past centuries. However, the modern shape of the straight, center-parted bangs gives it a contemporary twist.
Her long curls are piled up at the back of her head, with the ends left loose, guided by their natural movement—though some help was provided by a curling iron and hairspray. This look is perfect for making a statement at festive events.
Cherub's Curls
This short, layered hairstyle creates cherubic curls that form a beautiful round shape with most of the volume above the ears. The layers transition from very short at the nape to longer on top, creating a halo effect that's perfect for natural curls or perms. The fringe is cut short to frame the face and highlight its beauty.
The curls seem to have a life of their own, defying gravity and reaching upward. This lifting effect is accentuated by lighter tones on the top and a deeper shadow at the roots.
Punk-Inspired Pixie Cut
This punk-inspired pixie cut combines an angelic texture with a bold, edgy style for short hair enthusiasts. The sides and nape are clipped to a minimum, with dark brown color providing a strong contrast to the longer, blonde, golden, and copper-shimmering top hair, which can be styled in various ways.
Here, the hair is styled loosely towards the face, covering but not concealing the short, undercut fringe with longer, textured strands.
Long Hair for Men
Long hair for men is making a comeback, and this style proves why. Healthy, well-styled, shiny hair is key to achieving this look. His super straight hair, reaching mid-back, is parted on the side with a slight kink, adding a rugged, masculine touch.
A hot iron ensures the straightness, while a shine serum provides a seductive shimmer. Pairing this fairy-tale mane with luxurious leather and fur is a must.
Updo for Guys
Wondering what to do with long hair when it's in the way of a cool designer jacket collar? Put it up! Updos are just as suitable for men as they are for women. Skip the curly tendrils on the sides and instead highlight your sideburns.
His long hair is separated into two sections along a horizontal line between the ears and the crown. Both sections are twisted and pinned back in a not-too-polished style, with the sides kept tighter than the top, which has a bit of frontal volume.
