Urban by Mikel Luzea
Who needs boxes unless they come with a bow and a gift inside? Mikel Luzea takes us out of the box and into a new stream of hairstyling that redefines shapes and challenges conventions. Plays with lengths and textures break up familiar patterns, all tinted in the most invigorating shades of blonde, brown, and red.
Straight or curly, short or long—you will find your preferred hair length in this collection and perhaps a new idea to freshen up your look. Urban stands for modern styles inspired by street fashion in the world’s metropolises. The collection is funky, youthful, and too much fun to miss.
Electric Highlights
Don’t wait until lightning strikes. You’ll be thrilled with the electrifying highlights of this multifaceted hairstyle. The texture goes wild with a variety of lengths, jagged edges, sharp points, and feathering.
An almost orange copper flashes boldly against a dark brown base. The hair is styled straight, which may require a styling iron if your hair has a more wavy texture. Some ends wispy out on the sides, and the fringe is separated diagonally. Have a party in your hair!
Spikes and Stripes
An almost blinding combination of blonde and intense copper creates a dazzling light show. The color play is concentrated in the fringe, while the rest of the short hair impresses with its spiky texture alone.
The back and sides are cut super short with a slight progression in length towards the top, where gel and spray keep the hair standing upright. The fringe flows out from the center of the crown like a fiery petal, smoothing to the side of the face. A statement haircut made to be seen.
Step in the Bangs
Step up your hair courage with this two-level fringe that defies mainstream norms and showcases your extravagant self. The rest of the hair is balanced on each side but features much texture in the ends.
This creates a soft, gently jagged effect that transforms the cutting line into a modern and edgy design. An outrageous color, like the super hot copper, intensifies with more red along the edges, turning precious with golden sprinkles among the fiery strands.
Short Bob with Texture
A short A-line bob is styled straight to highlight the great mix of hair colors. Dark brown and warm red alternate in wide, overlapping streaks, adding heat to the hair. The shape is based on a timeless classic but is refreshed with a diagonal fringe and plenty of texture.
Straight and Curly Contrast
This one will make you look twice. Long curls are paired with a thick, long, and straight fringe. This striking contrast gives the hairstyle a special edge. Shiny earth tones of walnut, amber, and honey bring depth and dimension, along with an irresistible shine.
The hair is layered from the cheekbones down to keep it light and allow the curls to spring up fully. Scrunch it with mousse and your fingers until you achieve the desired texture.
Short Hair for Men
Men’s hair can be contemporary while maintaining a classic line. This short crop slightly lengthens from the sides to the top and has a neat, clean outline. The fun comes with plenty of texture and a few longer strands on the side of the crown, emphasized with blonde highlights as a distinct contrast to the dark brown hair.
Styled upward with a slight pull into the face, there are many more options. Gel makes it all happen, and imagination knows no limits. So go ahead and experiment!
Feathery Fringe in the Face
He doesn’t need to wear this pirate shirt to make hearts flutter, but it does enhance the effect of his outrageously cool hairstyle. Let’s go wild with the fringe. Cut with precision and styled to be wild, his do is short in the back and features a feathery, long fringe that charmingly falls over his eyes.
The hair is parted slightly off-center and sleek with gel-generated texture that adds shine to the brown hair, accented with fine, but intense highlights in an almost neon copper color.
