Spring 15 by Laetitia Guenaou
Laetitia Guenaou transforms music into hair—rock music, that is. The colors take a backseat to the powerful shapes of her collection. Volume seems to emerge naturally from the layered cuts, which are then sculpted into exquisite shapes.
Three looks of wild expression capture the free spirit and melody of music born from a passion for rhythm and grand sound. A fourth creation adopts a more ethereal role with a pleated cocoon construction that is as intricate as it is unconventional and awe-inspiring.
Shag and Bob Combination
This intense look balances elements of a bob and a shag. Dominated by a deep, eye-covering fringe and muted cool brown color, this hairstyle embodies rock and roll like no other.
The layers are cut with an intricate technique to create a voluminous, mushroom-style top. The cutting line of the fringe appears to wrap around the head, defining the subtle border between the top section and the straighter lengths. Only her nose and lips are visible, leaving us to guess what she might be thinking.
Stormy Hair
Twilight photography mirrors the character of this storm-blown look. Layers, waves, and light curls combine to create amazing movement in her long, layered cut. The impetus comes from the left side, but you can adjust it to match your natural hair growth and personal style.
The long fringe sweeps diagonally, revealing her dreamy eyes, while the hair follows its direction, twirling and waving down over her shoulders. The muted hair color is a dark brown with a cool hue, repeated in her eyebrows and eyeliner for perfect harmony.
All About That Volume
Pump up those curls and embrace your wild side with this modern glam look that will rock your night. Controlled chaos is grounded by the earthiness of her hair color, with every strand swinging to its own rhythm.
The curved and lightweight fringe, combined with the bodacious volume of this breathtaking design, frames her face and centers attention on her eyes. Essential tools include finger styling, a good modeling cream, teasing, and hairspray.
Cocoon
An updo of incomparable beauty. This modern sci-fi look, reminiscent of "The Fifth Element," is the result of a fine artist’s vision and a master stylist’s skill. The sculptural quality and composition resemble something you'd find in a modern art museum, yet it’s entirely made of hair and ready to be worn.
After tying her hair up and keeping the sides tight and strict, the ridges were crafted with dozens of hair clips and hot tongs. The surface resembles the texture of a silk cocoon, thanks to the essential crimping of the hair before any other work is done.
