Ombré Coloring for Red Hair

This is a beautiful and fresh take on the ever-popular ombré hair coloring technique. While blonde ombrés have been the predominant request for a long time, the trend is quickly shifting. Fiery redheads and glamorous brunettes are now embracing subtle to bold ombrés.

The model’s roots are colored in a deep, almost burgundy brunette base that progressively transitions to an intense red at the tips. The burgundy and intense red colors complement each other well, enhancing the model’s pale complexion and dark, brooding eyes.

The long, straight hairstyle elongates the model’s slim face even further, achieving an über-glamorous catwalk model look. The layered bangs have been blow-dried outward, preserving a convex curve that softens the face and prevents the predominantly straight style from appearing too harsh.

Classic Style for Long Hair

This is an especially favored go-to style for stars with a more mature approach to fashion, without being frumpy or rigid. Fashion icons such as Hailey Baldwin, Charlize Theron, and Lauren Conrad often wear their meticulously styled and maintained tresses in variations of this timeless classic. The hairstyle exudes couture maturity found mostly in seasoned fashion elites.

The model’s hair is a very light, summery blonde at the tips, with roots reflecting a subtle champagne undertone for a seamless blend as natural regrowth occurs. Her slightly layered tresses are blow-dried in a classic style that hints at the elegant throwback of the 1970s. The tips are blow-dried inward, while the long side bangs showcase a convex curvature.

Female Version of the Mohawk Style

This is a playful female version of the Mohawk style that has been a Hollywood staple since the 1939 movie "Drums Along the Mohawk." Couture heavyweights such as Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and Demi Lovato are known to rock the long-haired Mohawk on the red carpet and in the clubs.

The hair on top of the model’s head has been backcombed meticulously from the forehead to the curve of the occipital bone. This area is secured with hidden bobby pins to create a well-structured "bubble effect," adding height and an elongated, slim face.

The simple summer blonde hair color showcases the creative style, complemented by straightforward yet creative eye makeup. The overall look subtly evokes the iconic style of Amy Winehouse.

Hairstyle for Fine Hair

This is another subtle yet impressive variation of the popular ombré hairstyle. The color fade technique is done so artfully that it is one of the easiest to maintain. The roots are colored to match the model’s natural hair color, minimizing regrowth and extending time between salon visits to as much as six months!

The model’s fine hair has a medium density, ideal for this layered and slightly thinned-out style. The tips are colored a light golden brown, giving a youthful and fresh effect. The hair is blow-dried with a medium-barrel brush to enhance the movement of the layers. The simple makeup and high-collared blouse perfectly showcase the style.

Short Bob with Wispy Bangs

This is a stunningly creative style that blends solid, almost masculine elements with softer curves and sweet wisps. This short bob with wispy bangs epitomizes what you often see in high-end salons in fashion-forward cities like Paris and New York. It results from straightforward styling, intense hair colors, and precise styling techniques.

The short bob has been spotlighted again, especially since Taylor Swift transformed her look with cropped tresses. The light copper red complements the model’s pale skin and emerald green eyes, while the simplicity of the color creates a perfect backdrop for the cut.

Note how the pale pink of her makeup, lips, and blouse complement the hair color and style, without detracting from the haircut that is clearly intended to be the focal point.

Short Asymmetrical Bob

This impeccable style is the work of seasoned and naturally talented stylists. The flawless use of angles, curves, and wisps along the silhouette and hairline, coupled with the immaculate pearly ash-blonde color, showcases the sophisticated traits of a true stylist connoisseur.

The very short bob is slightly asymmetrical, with the hair tucked behind the ear being shorter than the wispier opposite side. Her bangs are cut with a razor to achieve a creative aesthetic, following playful curves along her forehead and connecting the asymmetrical side beautifully.

This hairstyle works exceptionally well for women with oval and heart-shaped faces and almost pixie-like features. It complements the model’s soft facial lines, striking eyes, and full mouth.

Short Sides and Curls

Creative cuts and curls are not just for women. Influenced by British celebrities, we’re seeing a surge in a variety of macho-to-metropolitan-man and Mohawk-inspired cuts. These versatile and cutting-edge Mohawks have once again spread globally.

The model’s hair is colored a medium golden brown, complementing his slightly tanned complexion and classic Grecian features. The very short sides blend seamlessly with the longer top. His natural curls are enhanced with a curling gel spray to maximize the natural structure of his full, thick hair.

Slicked-Back Style for Men

The resurgence of masculine, impeccably styled old-school Hollywood looks has recently recaptured the spotlight. Celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, and Justin Bieber have embraced the slicked-back hairstyle, making it one of the most coveted looks.

The model’s hair is cut relatively short on the sides and back, while the top is left longer and fuller. A distinctive parting reflects the glamour of Hollywood heroes like Marlon Brando, James Dean, and Paul Newman.

Note the impeccable neatness around the hairline and ears, and the smooth transition from short sides and back to longer top. The hair is slicked back with wet-look gel to ensure neatness throughout the day or event.

Short and Neat Hairstyle

Short back and sides with longer hair on top have been a staple for men for ages. Historically, these cuts were trademarks of ferocious hunters and warriors, but today, they are favored by gentlemen who prefer a style that requires minimal effort to look good.

The model’s hair is colored a golden, almost chestnut medium brown to complement his tanned complexion and dark eyebrows. The top is significantly longer than the sides and back, giving the cut a modern look. The hair on top is blow-dried with a smoothing lotion for a silky and glossy finish.

The hair is backcombed slightly for added height and structure, then combed neatly into place with a fine-tooth comb and secured with aerosol hairspray. This look has enjoyed a revival among men on the catwalk and Hollywood red carpets.
