Romantic, Dramatic Nostalgia
Look as if you’ve just stepped out of a nostalgic Hollywood movie! Red hair and curls are always a super dramatic combination, and the pink lipstick makes it even more daring and contemporary. If this isn’t your natural color, make sure your eyebrows match!
Her long hair is shaped into slightly uneven barrels, attached at the side of her neck, above it, and with a special one in the very front. The large roll that replaces a fringe juts out and turns into a turbulent wave of hair, magically and invisibly held in place.
Glamorous Out-Of-Face Style
She has a pretty face and flaunts it, framed by her dark hair, which is fully moved out of her features. It has waves rolling toward the back in a large motion, with a high section just above her forehead and to the side.
The length reaches her shoulders, with the curls increasing toward the back. Layers make the shape and volume stable. Her hair color is a mix of medium brown with golden sprinkles and a contrasting, very dark brown. Let the light shine in!
Victorian Chic
A little hint of diabolic does not hurt. She wears her little curved horns well with the rest of her elegantly flowing hair. This look has vintage written all over it, and the flair is enhanced by her jewelry and distinct makeup.
The hair is parted in the very center, and the two sections above her ears are rolled up tightly into small barrels that give this hairstyle so much character. The lengths are carefully curled and placed just right. Smoothing serum and hairspray are a must to hold it all together.
Rhinestone Power in a Loop
A beautiful look that uses a strand of hair as an accessory, along with two others. This ingenious idea has a big effect that almost distracts from the beautiful deep chignon in the back. That massive creation displays the most gorgeous texture on its surface, with winding strands of hair that all come together in one big and soft ball.
Her brown hair color has a very pretty golden shine—subtle but intense and a perfect match to her light skin tone. This style is reminiscent of Spanish Flamenco hairstyles and pairs well with big earrings and high heels.
Luscious Layers
Go for the volume and make it big. A wild and very feminine mane shines in a luminescent red hair color that will stop everyone in their tracks.
Grande Opera
If furs and diamonds are your thing, show that you are a woman of taste with this aria of a hairstyle. "Vavavoom" is an understatement, and mere words cannot do justice to this architecture made of hair. Let’s just say it’s breathtaking.
This high-octane beehive is composed of teased sections and large curls—some more defined than others. The mix of controlled and open textures is mesmerizing, as is the subtle transition of color from dark, almost black to cool brown with just a hint of lavender.
Wild Country
You may think this is what the princess looks like after meeting her prince in the castle's secret dungeon. This style doesn’t reflect the classy sophistication of the previous style, but it’s an equally glamorous contrast, focusing on the untamed nature within us.
A combination of country braids, slung across her forehead, and no-rules tousling and teasing awakens the inner goddess of the land, all doused in a celestial shimmer of wheat blonde and pink. There is poetry in every strand, which are not as randomly placed as they may appear but are artfully arranged and fixed with the help of modern hair styling products.
A-Line in Blue
A most adorable bob in a sunny summer color. If this one doesn’t keep you cool, we don’t know what will. A basic A-line bob with a high graduation around the sides and back comes with a cute short fringe and playful long strands to frame the face. A bit of asymmetry is built in as well.
The color is snow blonde with soft accents in a blue curaçao shade, predominantly in the lower layers. The colors enhance each other and spread their refreshing glow all over her face. A bit of wispy texture and some ruffling make it casual and fun.
Free and Easy
With this hairstyle, you never have to worry about the wind—the more, the better. The layered cut comes alive with movement and is styled with a casual texture. It features large curls that bounce around her head in an untamed rhythm.
Gently mussed, it’s just disheveled enough to have a sensual flair, but not so much as to distract from the exquisite design of this medium-length hairstyle. Her hair color is a soft yet fiery brown with illuminating gold accents.
Feathers and Braid
Soft in all its aspects, this look is candy for the eyes. An intricate braiding technique creates a heavy texture on the side, with rough strands slung around each other before they turn into a small braid. The front and top sections contrast this construction with their neat and styled appearance.
Bowl Cut with a Twist
A classic made new! Remember the ’60s? A classic bowl cut is reimagined with textured effects along the cutting line. Straight and blunt lines transition into jagged, point-cut sections. Color is used to enhance and amaze. The cool electric blue contrasts beautifully with the warm brown.
It doesn’t take much color to achieve stunning results, but the strength of the contrast and placement are key. As seen here, less can indeed be more.
Hot Graphic Style
A bit of Art Nouveau and a lot of spunky edge make this vintage-inspired short cut irresistible. Everything is sleek and slick from front to back.
Black and shiny as oil on water, the design of this haircut thrills with its corners, unexpected extensions, textures, and the smooth serenity of the round styling. Wax and smoothing lotions are your best friends to make this look work.
Around a Pink Corner
If you think your bob is too simple, add a little color to it, and everything changes. A magical ray of pink on the front corner of this beautiful classic bob looks as if a rainbow hit this one small area and decided to stay to display its most alluring shade.
The base color is an equally luminous black, styled asymmetrically. Classic and sophisticated, but with an elegant twist of modern.
Exciting Short Cut in Red
Simplicity is overrated. If you like short hair, this spiky, sleek look might be the perfect match. Layers abound in this round cut, coming in all lengths. A neat line defines the fringe, but the sides are where the action happens, with bold textured spikes jutting down before her ears and more angled texture following right after.
Her hair color is an iridescent red with a multitude of hues to create light and shadow for sublime dimension and depth.
Jazzy Short Bob
Got color? If not, get inspired by this fierce short bob, sparkling in a blackberry hue with accents in smooth dark fuchsia. The sides and back are cut with steeply angled layers, emphasizing the sleek top section with its beautiful movement and magical shine.
This style thrives with a little lift at the roots and lengths and the finesse of a forward curve at the ends. A small round brush or curling iron can help with that. Pair it with your most outrageous statement jewelry!
Gentle Color, Soft Cut
This one is a real charmer. Smooth and friendly with a feel-good texture and a hair color that’s grounded and natural. While the soft brown is super appealing, the art is in the cut.
Fine-tuned in every tiny tip, the scissors create a soft but distinct texture around the entire perimeter, with the finest strands coming together for a needle-fine jagged line. Her asymmetrical styling partially hides the eyes in a very fluid and playful way.
Teased Bob
One of the best and quickest ways to add enormous volume to your hair, besides using hairpieces, is to tease it. Do it carefully to avoid damage, but the results are worth the small risk.
A bob was transformed into a formidable specimen of hair art with raised sides, a short fringe, and a trapezoid silhouette filled with texture. The dark brown hairstyle is a great match for her black lace outfit.
