Mother of Pearl by Davines
Every artist's goal is to capture light in its most beautiful shapes and forms. Using hair as a canvas, Davines now seduces us with their new Mother of Pearl Collection. Ambitious and creative, this series can only be described as poetry made into hair.
Dreamy colors with an iridescent finish—fluid pastel hues touching and complementing each other—bring previously unknown luminescence to the hair and tease our eyes with their surprising effects.
Versatile Long Fringe
A very short haircut with a girly fringe is a great remedy for fashion blues. Clipped very short around the sides and back, this refreshing cut stands out with its long and playfully disheveled fringe. The icing on the cake is the addition of rose and blue pastel tones, which elevate the platinum blonde hair color to this mother-of-pearl artistry.
The hair is styled toward the front, with part of the fringe lifted to a wispy delight, while a few strands show a more rebellious nature.
Sleek Geometry
Undercuts are the hit of the season. They lend coolness and a modern edge to short cuts and allow for a variety of styling surprises. Combined with a marbled color of platinum blonde and soft pastels that blend like on the surface of a precious pearl from the South Seas, this hairstyle is a masterpiece of balancing tough lines and a mellow, dreamy nature.
The hair is styled sleek and almost stiff with a meticulously smooth surface. It is pulled over to one side, displaying its very straight cutting line. The soft blended and swirling colors create a thrilling contrast that makes hair color excitingly new.
Bob in the Wild
Yes, this is a bob. Its grandiose and flamboyant texture transports it to another world with rough waves, disheveled, teased, and passionately mussed-up sections. Use a good spray to make some of the hair lift as if magically pulled by a strong magnet. The hair color plays a major role, creating shadow and light-kissed effects for depth, dimension, and magic.
Too wild for you? There is a toned-down version that still makes an impact. Check out the next style—same cut, different styling!
Prismatic Hair Colors
A thick bob with beautiful layers displays a serious light show with transitions of transparent hues in yellow, white, pink, and back into blonde, all alternated in a spectacular, seemingly random pattern. It’s as if the light of a prism hit the inside of a seashell.
The effect is perplexing and ever-changing. The moment the wind catches her hair, a new pattern emerges. The fringe is full, thick, and long, covering both eyes and adding a stunning element to this dramatic look with all of its movement and special effects.
Sleek Vintage with a Rainbow
White transitions into moss green, surprisingly mixing with soft pink, then turning suddenly mint green, blending with yellow, transforming into salmon, merging with white, and repeating in an endless, colorful game.
Volume in Color
The sleek long style from before reveals an unexpected facet. Undo the smooth lines, shake it, ruffle, and tease the hair, and you get an outburst of pure joy with its iridescent, magical hair colors.
The tones of forest green, warm salmon, yellow sunshine, and bright starlight interact as if floating on the surface of the hair in an ever-changing pattern of colored light. A muted rainbow illuminates her dark blonde base color, turning the big, layered mane into a voluminous expression of art.
Slender Lines with Colored Illusion
There is nothing wrong with being flamboyant, especially when your hair looks like it’s from a mystical story and has a truly cosmic shimmer, as seen here. Her cut features long layers with fine texture at the tips to make them even lighter and wispy. It was styled with a side part and plenty of volume.
The sheer hair color was applied in soft horizontal lines that blend into each other without harsh separation. The effect resembles light shining on the hair through a stained glass window. She wears it open and casual, letting the color speak for itself.
Looped Fringe
A quick and stunning transformation if you want to give your sleek long hair a major dose of excitement. A thick section was gathered from the very top of her head and the front. This strand was then twisted around itself and softly arranged into a looped knot, partially falling into her face.
The dark ash blonde and light mother-of-pearl colors create an intriguing pattern on her crown, balanced and softened on the sides, where the colored strands run straight with clear definition from top to bottom.
Deep Sea Lightning
Emerging mermaids wear their hair long and in softly separated strands kissed by the reflection of moonlight bouncing off the waves, giving their hair this iridescent mother-of-pearl effect.
Patches and strands of this ethereal shimmer sit upon a dark brown and red base. Her hair is parted in the center and left to fall freely. A touch of unruliness adds a welcome effect to soften it all. The tips gently curl, keeping the mystery alive!
Long Simplicity with Pastel Hair Colors
Pearls and the mother-of-pearl interior of shells are among the most beautiful things to behold. The fragmented light and the play of the finest pastel tones in their fluid yet frozen movement have fascinated us since ancient times.
Applying this concept to a thick long mane is therefore breathtaking. A center part is all she needs, as what counts is the sublime play of colored light, so subtle and refined that one might even think of it as a mirage.
