CAMILLE by Laurent Decreton
The mystery of beauty can be found in a glance, a smile, or in fantastic hairstyles. Laurent Decreton presents five versions of his vision of female beauty through five amazing looks. The first tease to our senses comes with gray color on a youthful face. Gray has become the new black for trendsetters, and it has an ethereal quality that creeps under our skin.
Pure like a fine metal, it showcases exquisite cuts like no other color. It transforms hairstyles into fine sculptures. Decreton warms up the silvery shade with hints of color. Short cuts are textured and captivate us with their contagious dynamism. Together with long extensions, a new world opens up.
Boy and Girl Cut
A multitasking cut that is not only delightfully androgynous but also offers a multitude of styling options. The hair features long layers in a short silhouette, cut with strongly textured tips.
Layers of wide strands are styled overlapping, with each layer pointing in a different direction. This can be achieved with a fine styling comb and a generous amount of hairspray. Wild strands are pulled into the face. The cool gray hair color is kissed by a faint hint of blonde for added warmth.
Half and Half
Can’t decide between a bob and a short crop? Laurent Decreton merges the best of both worlds in this combination of a sleek and billowy side with a spiky graduated one, separated by a low side part and featuring plenty of texture.
The long half is blown out for volume and a nice inward turn on the bottom line. The direction of the flow can be away from the face, as seen in the first photo, or into the face, as in the classic bob style. The short side sizzles with a wild variation of lengths, making it edgy and very contemporary.
Wild and Soft
The melancholy and elegance of the silver hair color lend themselves beautifully to spiky cuts with much texture. The metallic sheen and the shapes enhance each other. The short sides of this cut are soft and fuzzy, contrasting with the bold strands that fall wildly in all directions on top.
The center of the tumultuous fringe features a ray of pink created with the ingenious invention of hair chalk. There’s no better way to add some oomph to your hair that can be washed out without consequences.
1980s Lift
A short hairstyle as fun as an 1980s pop song in a wintery, elegant color—what more could you ask for? Uplifting in the most literal sense, the top hair is formed into softly curved spikes, while the graduated sides are combed back after being touched by the magic of modeling crème. Complement the pearlescent silver hair color with metallic eye shadow.
Combed High
This extravagant take on festive updos celebrates hair combs by using many of them throughout the style. They keep the hair up and also serve as a beautiful accessory. Use small metal hair combs with rhinestones for additional sparkle, or keep it plain.
If your hair is not long enough to achieve this edgy elegance, hair extensions are always an option. The top is styled high and resembles a faux Mohawk look. The back is partially attached with combs and partially flares out over the shoulders.
