Prairie by Sassoon Academy
The pioneer women of the old American West made their way through the vast wilderness of dry deserts and unforgiving weather. This experience shaped their resilience and spirits. The strength and rugged beauty of the terrain inspired this impressive collection by Sassoon Academy.
One of the greatest artists of the last century, Georgia O'Keeffe, contributed her colors of bone and burned earth to the stunning palette, which is completed by the addition of Navajo jewelry turquoise.
Curls of Light
Kissed by the cool early morning light and moved by the dry wind of the Arizona desert, the curls are a force of nature all by themselves. The center part does not prevent the style from being asymmetrical, as both sides show a different pattern and shape.
The long layers are tightly curled, and the closer the hair is to her face, the more defined the fine waves and spirals are. The outer edges are softer and lighter in color, creating an angelic yet mysterious look with wild determination.
Interrupted Layers
Silver, like moonlight or sun-bleached wood, has a magical effect on hair. The coolness of the color is mirrored in the disconnected layers with a strong texture at the tips. The edges are jagged and distinct.
Shorter layers on top flow into the short fringe, and her face is framed by longer sections that curve towards her chin. The full length exceeds her shoulders. This long hairstyle exudes a strong will and a no-nonsense attitude without any frills.
Round and Smooth
Long bangs cast a seductive shadow on her eyes and excite our fashion sense with their deliciously jagged cutting line. The pointy texture increases at the bottom perimeter. The collarbone length is the perfect in-between and leaves room for styling alternatives.
Her hair is layered throughout the upper section, with no specific part visible. Instead, the hair seems to flow out from one point at the back of her crown. The back hair is longer and heavily textured but has fewer layers to remain visually cohesive.
Square Bob
The obvious geometry of this square-cut bob is enhanced by the styling. Short top layers are mussed and brought to a rectangular shape with intense movement. Hair strands overlap each other in opposing directions, and their light silver color reflects light with an iridescent, cosmic shimmer.
Her bold eyebrows are offset by the jagged line of her mid-forehead bangs. The sides are vertical with much inner life and tousling. Simple, strong statement jewelry is a great match.
Candy Girl
A soft pastel orange warms the platinum blonde from the inside and evokes the desert sand. A rococo touch in the styling is disheveled enough to reflect the wildness of her spirit. Creating elegance without it being too polished is an art form in itself.
Rugged Victory
This short hairstyle has an androgynous quality, even with the long tendrils feathering along the sides. Stylish, intriguing, and seductive with its rugged assurance, it makes a point—not just in the center of the smooth and layered fringe.
Triangular sections spice it up with their linear courage, and the short back is ruffled up for soft spikes and ultimate movement. A warm brown hair color keeps the look grounded.
Extravagant Bob in Black
Blue-black like the darkest night. If the color does not provoke a strong enough reaction, the cut definitely will. A cheekbone-length bob is cut in the traditional carré shape, but this prairie warrior woman wears it with a chic, disheveled surface texture.
The short bangs follow no rule with their intricately jagged edge. Layers are systematically cut to promote the round shape, and with the frizzy feathering, she is ready to conquer the world.
Stylish Short Bob in Blue
Getting the blues can be quite thrilling, at least when it comes to colorful accents in hair. A saturated blue-black color throws sparks with intense turquoise accents that also highlight the disconnected line of the very short fringe. Her cut is a slightly A-framed bob that follows the shape of her jawline, just a finger above it.
The bangs are also wide to open up her face. Feathers of wild birds inspired the amazing styling. Teasing of the roots lifts the strands in the back and the longer ones that jut out in stylish curves on the sides.
Short with an Extravagant Gap
Cut to a soothing conformity of lines, the linear design displays a precious minimalism—well, almost. A very small detail in the form of an irregular gap in the ultra-short bangs takes it to the next level of chic.
Additionally, a mystic turquoise blue shimmer on the dark hair color vibrates with flashy extravagance. Bold eyebrows, smoky eyes, and a pale lip complete the avant-garde effect.
Peaked Interest
Clean cut has a new definition. Outside of the realm of conformity is the kingdom of tremendously creative hairstyles. Outstanding contrasts are always memorable, and this sleek fringe against the velvety, short-clipped hair definitely creates a lasting impression.
It is as wide as the corners of his eyes and shaped into an inward curve before it touches the upper part of his forehead. The graphite hair color delivers incredible shine, which is enhanced by a gloss spray. A few accent strands peak up in the center.
