"American Style" by Intercoiffure Mondial
Hollywood, the Wild West, Rock 'n' Roll, Palm Beach, and New York inspired this collection of "American Style" hair looks. Intercoiffure Mondial captured the essence of each of these iconic locations to create styles that reflect the diversity, extravagance, glamour, and free spirit of America.
Cool, refined, and sophisticated short cuts exude a love for tradition and luxury. In contrast, opulent, over-the-top styles with plenty of glam embody a high-heeled Hollywood vibe. Somewhere in between, untamed and voluminous hairstyles evoke the famous pioneer spirit.
New York 1
Sleek, concave, and curved to fit her features, this elegant short haircut is understated yet posh. Curved lines follow the shape of her face, smoothing along her cheekbones and accentuating all the right places. The neck is equally fluid, as if it were poured on and solidified.
An anti-frizz serum is a must to make this style work. Preventing rebellious strands and adding more shine brings out the hair's beautiful colors. A balanced application of red and onyx black plays with shadow and light in a way that even outshines the big rocks around her neck and the precious sequins on her jacket.
New York 2
A short hairstyle with a sleek, aerodynamic design is the perfect city look. Its versatility is unmatched, shifting from neat and sleek to dramatic and glamorous with just a change in styling. Here, we see the sleek version, highlighting the cut's geometry.
Alternating textured and blunt parts create character, making this style worth more than a second glance—and sure to turn heads. The shape may seem simple at first glance, but it's full of intricate details. The hair color, a passionate wine red, adds warmth to the calculated and controlled character of the cut.
New York 3
Put on those Liza Minnelli eyes and pair them with this short hairstyle! The bowl cut with rounded soft volume fits like a charm, and with the green color accents around the front, you’ll have your very own cabaret. This is stylish minimalism at its best, showing how much can be achieved with subtle, fine-tuned effects.
Palm Beach 1
If you’ve got it, flaunt it. There’s no reason to hold back and be humble. Unlike the restrained energy from further up north, the sun-filled lifestyle in Florida inspires boldness.
Palm Beach 2
Playfulness meets traditional design in this exciting look! Her long hair, given a crimped texture, is folded under and tucked in the right places to resemble a short bob. You don’t have to cut your hair to wear this classic of all classics!
Her beach-blonde hair, drenched in Florida sunshine, moves around her head in a thick, uninterrupted flow. The smaller side has an additional comb or pin to hold it behind her ear.
Palm Beach 3
Brunch or afternoon tea demands a polished look, and Southern women still enjoy being the belle of the day. A high quiff is shaped with a round brush and then teased with a fine comb from underneath. It’s smoothed over her crown and invisibly pinned.
The sides feature grand curls created with a thick-barreled hot iron. All the hair is kept out of the face in a style that’s easy to create yet looks elaborate and luxurious.
Rock'n Roll 1
With her crimped up-and-down look, she can span several genres of music—and fashion. A little rasta, a little Marie Antoinette, and a hint of country—it's all there! The texture is created with a special hot styling tool, but please, don’t try using a waffle iron!
Many small braids left in overnight can generate a similar pattern. The hair is bound at the back, and with tight sides and a boisterous top, there’s also the effect of a faux-Mohawk look. This hairstyle is a patchwork of famous looks—a true melting pot.
Rock'n Roll 2
This short hairstyle makes you feel the beat and the heavy guitar solos. No messing around, it just goes straight for the highest pitch. Lifted spikes, ruffled texture, and a rebellious attitude now come in two hair colors with a beautiful metallic hue.
The fringe is a dark teal blue, which seamlessly blends into the purple turbulence in the rear. The layered hair is treated with enough mousse and spray to withstand even the wildest nights.
Rock'n Roll 3
Long fringes, straight and disconnected lines are trendy not only with the new romantics. The "grown-out" look with alternating lengths, jagged edges, and a subtle color appeals to all modern poets and those who appreciate high style without high drama. A muted blonde hair color with darker roots looks natural and gentle.
Wild West 1
Now we know why the West is still called "wild." This long hair just wants to be tousled by the wind and glisten in the sunshine. A force of nature in itself, it’s only tamed a little in the fringe.
The intricately woven texture is reminiscent of ethnic artifacts and pairs wonderfully with her outfit and oversized accessories. As red as mahogany or a desert sunset, this vivacious look represents the last frontier in all its beauty and danger.
Wild West 2
The attack of the curl! Shockingly red, but with an earthy undertone in both design and color, this enormous mane of a million curls is ready to break hearts along the way. With her part just off-center, one side has more mass than the other, and a chic diagonal line falls over her forehead in place of a fringe.
The top is controlled by a thin hairband, which holds the hair down. The front section is twisted into a barrel shape that’s not only stylish but also keeps the hair out of her face. Feather earrings and statement jewelry with an ethnic look complete the style.
Wild West 3
Haute coiffure the Wild West way. Inspired by the textures of American Indian textiles and with colors taken from the Western desert landscapes, this long blonde hairstyle stuns in more than one way. The mid-back length hair is crimped from root to tip, separated into a half-updo, and finished with a long, amazingly thick ponytail. The top part is styled in a vintage shape using a loose French braid technique.
Hollywood 1
Flawless beauty and glamour ooze from every follicle in these Hollywood styles. Inspired by the great movie goddesses, this shoulder-length wavy wonder shines in breathtaking titian red.
Each wave is carefully sculpted and measured. A low side part leads to a surge of fringe, rising high and flowing into a shiny, spiral cascade. Match your lipstick to your hair color, and you’re on your way to the hall of fashion fame.
Hollywood 2
This blonde woman knows how to wear her medium-length hair. Separated by a low part, the fuller side is rolled into flawless curls that can only be made in the land of movie sets and dreams. Monroe, Mansfield, and Harlow weren’t the only ones who used the power of the blonde, but they did it so well that they remain our curl models.
Platinum blonde with a hint of vanilla, and smooth, well-defined spirals, curls, and waves framing the face in pure glamour are the top ingredients for this retro delight of a hairstyle, which has lost none of its magnetism.
Hollywood 3
This nostalgic and romantic hairstyle is inspired by the era of Gone With the Wind. You can almost hear Scarlett O'Hara say, "Dreams, dreams, always dreams with you, never common sense." Since common sense is often overrated, we still love these vintage looks and how they make us feel.
The hair is parted in the center, with the frontal sides lifted and rolled in. The hair behind the ears is crimped, giving it a modern and contrasting texture, which lifts the dust off the vintage idea and transports it to the daring creativity of the 21st century.
Hollywood 4
The 1960s brought a new style dominated by minimalism. The grand styles of movie world symbols were replaced by shorter, less elaborate looks with smooth lines and an androgynous quality.
Audrey Hepburn was one of the stars who left a lasting mark in the history of famous hairstyles. Get the signature look with this short do in a merlot hair color. Swift lines and gentle curves define the shape, while subtle highlights add dimension. Apply gloss spray to maximize the precious shine.
