"Summer Lights" by Camille Albane
In the late hours of the afternoon, when the sun has passed its highest point and shines with a golden light, that is when hair and skin radiate their most beautiful glow.
In her "Summer Lights" collection, Camille Albane draws inspiration from the warm tones of the golden hour. Bold highlights emphasize the spirit of summer and preserve the kisses of the sun on the hair.
Soft Layers
Soft blonde layers are as famous as the beaches of Southern California. These long locks are solar-powered and come with beautiful sandy blonde highlights. The long layered cut is parted in the center for a style of simple pleasures but maximum effect.
The hair falls well past her shoulders in a display of luxury and casual elegance. During styling, emphasize some of the curls with a hot iron but maintain a windswept and gently disheveled appearance.
Asymmetric Long Layers
A side part adds extra impact to the long layers. The fringe swings in a most elegant curve, weightlessly across her forehead. Stacked strands frame her face with extreme movement and flattering softness.
The hair resembles a perfect day sailing on the bay with a gentle breeze, the reflection of sunlight, and an easygoing, joyful attitude. Wear it with a denim jacket or glam sequins; it is a style that fits all occasions.
Loose Knot
The generous volume of the hair and the loose, casual knot symbolize the ease of a great summer day. Think linen dresses, seashell earrings, watermelon on the beach, and a colorful cocktail afterward. Make your vacation last with a sun-drenched hairstyle, done up leisurely and exuding the effortless beauty of true harmony.
Use a styling comb to tease the hair from underneath in the back for lift. Create the knot by first binding a low ponytail, then using thick strands in a braiding technique, and pin the hair underneath.
Copper Bob with Layers
Go for a stroll by the sea and enjoy the elements. Sun and wind are already infused into this medium-long bob, which brims with joie de vivre. Her side part maintains a stylish asymmetry, and the dark copper color, with its blonde highlights and light tips, is full of energy.
Hairband and Updo
A vintage look with a high-teased back does not require a great length of hair. A short or medium-length bob works just fine. It’s all about the styling and the right tools. Draw a line behind the fringe at about halfway up the crown. Tease all the hair in the back, layer by layer.
Build the volume close to the roots. Smooth out the surface again and use plenty of hairspray to hold this pretty style together. The finishing touch is a thin hairband and a lovely little twisted wave at the tip of the long fringe.
Bob for Fashionistas
The A-line bob remains one of the most popular hairstyles, and it’s no surprise. It satisfies minimalists, fans of wash-and-wear, and serious fashionistas alike. A true, undying classic, it’s also a great style for the hot summer season.
The hair is cut from the nape to a length just below the chin. The color is sun-kissed, some real and some from a tube, but no one has to know the details. Beige blonde with extra highlights and tasseled loop earrings as an accessory make us wish summer could last forever.
Androgynous on the Beach
This is a wonderful all-around style that can be done in many ways. You’ll need a styling product, a brush, and a comb with wide teeth. The back styling is emphasized by bright highlights applied at even intervals from the frontal hairline to the back. Maintain a little fluffy volume on top and keep the sides narrow.
Short Bob with Waves
Irresistible for decades, the classic Hollywood beauty bob. Chin-length and full with beautiful, regular finger waves, it reminds us of Jean Harlow, her contemporaries, and the 1920s flapper girls.
Never dull and always seductive, this pretty, short haircut is an accessory all by itself. No further embellishment is needed with this much style on your head!
