Histoires D'arts by DESSANGE
Colors, textures, and lines are the ingredients of all art, and that includes hairstyles. Fall and winter are the ideal seasons to catch up on some gallery or museum time. What better way to do this than with a brand-new artsy hairstyle?
In his collection, Dessange celebrates art and the artist with exquisite skill and creativity that have gone into these powerful styles. Some styles evoke memories, while others represent brand-new visions brought to life.
Two Shades
Graphic design has been translated into hair using vertical and horizontal lines in both cut and color. While many hair-dye techniques have emerged, from streaks to dips to tie-dye, none match the bold clarity and simplicity of this color-blocked hairstyle.
The hair is parted in the center. One side features a cool, dark brown color, while the opposite side, including the long, straight-cut fringe, shimmers with golden brown delight. Both shades are natural and only differ in their value, creating great harmony with a cubist touch!
Muse with Bangs
The contrast between the straight, simple fringe and the layered, waved lengths enhances the effect of volumized movement. A long bob is one of the most versatile cuts, and after undergoing the Dessange treatment, it becomes an inspiring creation of high artistic value.
The entire head of hair is illuminated by soft highlights in a warm blonde tone against the brown base color. The bangs are long enough to cover the eyebrows, giving her gaze the mysterious quality that muses possess.
Portrait of a Bob
This hairstyle features shades of brown and clearly structured lines. Soft and smooth from crown to tips, this look exudes pure elegance. Highlights in a warm golden tone sit upon a cool brown as if done with a precious brush on a canvas.
The bob length reaches past her collarbone, with tips curved inward. To add a touch of movement to the straight cut, the fringe is given a gentle curve to the side.
Light and Movement
Leisurely lengths are layered in long strides with a beautiful taper to frame her face.
The center part keeps the masses on both sides equal and adds another element of balance to the composition. Large waves express glamour and heightened senses. Golden blonde with light blonde highlights in wider and thinner streaks gives the hair a cosmic and timeless radiance.
Curled Inspiration
The color of crème caramel brings a wonderful flavor to this elegantly styled long haircut. The long bangs are cut at an angle and flare out with vigor, while the sides remain smooth with a silken, heavy fall that turns into large barrel curls on her shoulders.
Chignon on the Side
A chignon doesn’t always have to be at the back. See the intriguing effect of rolling it to one side! The hair was parted off-center and pulled to the wider section, where it was twisted and rolled around itself before being fastened with hairpins.
It’s important to keep the hair smooth around the head with the help of anti-frizz and smoothing serum. Allow a few strands to peek out of the chignon to balance the strict composure of the style.
Composition with Spirals
What starts with sleek inches left and right of the center part quickly turns into a frolicking, beautiful wreath of curls that wraps around her head and reaches almost to her shoulders. The curls are fine spirals invigorated by a few well-placed layers.
This hairstyle is very symmetrical and full of fun and excitement with its effervescent texture. A timeless adventure with endless flair, spun gold is the perfect color for this angelic look.
Folded Geometry
Go cubist with a novel fold in your hair! This very geometric ponytail design features a wide metal hair clasp and extremely straight hair styled all around. Serum will be your best friend to achieve this amazing and very artsy style.
The length of the hair is impressive, but even shorter tails can achieve a stunning effect. The ends are cut straight and very blunt, with no extra curve or flirtatious curl disrupting the clean design. Her hair color is a light beige blonde with very subtle highlights and lowlights.
Bob with an Edge
Classic and modern are brought together with skill in this design that appears effortless yet refined to the max. The jagged edge of her medium-long bob looks as if it were made from hand-torn watercolor paper, with the same fine texture and exquisite color. This effect runs from the fine tip at her chin all the way to her collarbone.
The hair color is a classic platinum blonde, infused with highlights and soft shadows in thin strands. This is artistic finesse at its best!
Wild in White
A very pop art look with a strong retro approach but also newfound freshness through enormous lightness in texture and curvy styling with much motion. The color is so brightly platinum that sunglasses might be a good idea to fully appreciate this beauty.
Styled for volume, the hair was dried over the head to lift the roots, then moved forward and around the face in a slow S curve. There is plenty of ruffling action for this famous elegant bedhead effect.
Wavy Bangs
The yellow block of eyeshadow might be your first clue that you’re looking at a very progressive hair design, but you'll never guess the real surprise and novel idea. First, admire the long fringe in its forward movement, starting way in the back and transitioning from sleek to wavy like a captivating frequency.
The rest of the hair, cleanly separated and treated with a good amount of modeling product, is not only combed to follow the shape of her head but is actually tucked into the collar of her turtleneck sweater!
