"Nu-Pop" by Sassoon Academy
Sassoon's top designers let their imagination flow so you can look like you just stepped off a catwalk in London or New York. Nu-Pop is a collage of influences, spanning famous retro Sassoon looks from the '60s, a touch of Pop Art and Op Art, all the way to grunge and glam rock.
Exciting geometry and even more thrilling hair colors will surely make pulses quicken. Modern flower girls will find their new favorite look, as will fans of tight-fitting short cuts with an androgynous flair.
Shaking it in Blue
The gorgeous texture of this short, round cut creates beautiful volume with soft edges. It flows and curves around her head in perfect harmony. The extra-long fringe shadows the eyes, bringing more attention to the rest of her face.
The hair color is a deep black with intense blue streaks, applied in both wide and narrow strands. Styling focuses on lightness, emphasizing the round shape with a few rebellious strands here and there to keep things playful.
Crisp Geometry
Points and strong lines dominate this short haircut, exemplifying the extraordinary art of Sassoon’s cutting techniques. The ingenious design is tailored to fit her features perfectly.
The straight bangs are interrupted by a couple of longer accents that peek over the distinct rim. This design’s definition and surprises come in a deep raven black with dark blue accents, which shimmer in different patterns depending on the light.
Black Pixie Cut
You don’t need long hair to be flamboyant—long lashes can do just the same. Her short bangs are not much longer and curve around the top of her forehead with soft yet pointy tips. The hair fits snugly and is a timeless expression of high fashion. The shine and silky softness stay in place with a little anti-frizz serum.
Tempestuous Asymmetry
A powerful color in a great hairstyle always draws attention. This style is filled with playful imagination, and while looking spectacular, it is actually not too hard to recreate. Her hair is cut into a chin-length bob. The natural curl provides volume and all of the sizzling red movement, with one little wave after another.
Half of the hair is twirled into two little horns that sit next to each other high on one side. Their texture is casual, with strands sticking out randomly. The opposite side balances the extravagance with a triangular wavy shape.
Over and Over Again
Make it a comb-over day! Overlapping can be this much fun. Not only is her short hair colored in contrasting layers of dark copper and platinum, but these layers are dynamically placed over and under each other.
Thin sheets of hair are combed to the front at an angle. The colors make the pattern more visible. Some accent strands fall straight down on the sides to complete a balanced frame around her face.
Swirled not Shaken
Intense red shades take turns, enchanting everyone in her path. This hot style is cut into a jagged texture with layers. A long fringe and sides just over the ears provide enough length to play with.
The hair is twirled in several places, slightly on the side but in an asymmetrical arrangement. This is best done with fingers and a touch of sculpting cream to make the style last as long as you want.
The front runs parallel to her eyes, with a couple of strands allowed to go astray. The base color is a deep Merlot, a dark, cool red with a purple hint. The highlights shine in a warmer, coppery shade.
Starchild
This long hairstyle deserves more than one star. Strawberry blonde, gorgeous long hair is styled to delight with sleek lengths, smooth volume, and the front taken to the back.
The sides are given a thick curve at the temples, which flares them out a bit more and adds dynamic movement to the otherwise straight fall. A variation of dark and light shades of the same color provides exciting contrast.
Hair in a Knot
Tie a knot to keep your hair out of your face. You can twist as many of these adorable little buns as you want, but just one, as done by the fabulous Sassoon stylists, is enough to give your long hair a great boost. This easygoing and cheerful look can be dressed up or down, casual or glamorous, depending on the outfit and accessories.
A handful of hair is gathered and bundled on one side, twisted and rolled around the base before being pinned. Super easy and beautiful in her strawberry-colored blonde hair.
Silver Shag
This rocking style has the perfect Sassoon signature fit. Cut according to the natural flow of the hair and tailored to match her features, its generous layers envelope her face with soft texture and just enough movement to highlight the great shape of the design.
The shorter front, with its strongly textured tips, curves elegantly into the over-the-shoulder long and sleek back hair. With the disheveled styling, it’s a breathtaking mix of control and wildness.
Silver on Black
The pointy strands look even more striking with their silver color against the black background. His super-stylish hairdo features wild and controlled elements with neat sections on the side, a smoothly graduated neck and back, and a tumultuous front.
The hair is combed left and right so that individual layers overlap each other. Individual strands are further accentuated with a bit of styling wax on the fingertips.
