This awe-inspiring collection of hairstyles by fab Intercoiffure Mondial celebrates the beauty of their home country of New Zealand and also honors the strength, beauty, and spirit of the women who first settled it.
The shapes of the short, long, and high-up styles are bold and modern, but they have distinct roots in history, artfully referenced, especially in the updos with their twists, braids, or sections slung over and around.
Short Bob with a Triangle Fringe
This power haircut for strong women features a lot of texture on the edges of the short bob. The theme of sharp angles and unusual lines continues in the fringe, which is cut in a triangular shape, following the line of her eyebrows about half an inch above them.
The sides are flipped out—frontwards or into random directions—creating a big stir with sharp points. With the platinum blonde hair color, the look achieves pure perfection and a boost of energy. The hair is extremely shiny and, with its shape, almost resembles fibers made of glass; however, it does not lack sensuality.
Huge Volume in Feathered Hair
There was a time when women sported truly massive hair. It was just a few decades ago in the 1980s, and we can’t let go of it. With this high-volume look, Intercoiffure blesses us with a nostalgic memory taken into the future, making the already big hair even bigger. The exaggerated lines and textures are too beautiful to ignore.
It all starts with a center part from which the hair falls evenly to both sides. Cut with a tapered line and long layers, it can be feathered out to its glamorous and flamboyant maximum, giving her the air of a fashion queen. The hair color, an earthy bronze tone interspersed with silver streaks, evokes the gentle mists rising from the ground on cool nights and early mornings.
Neat Short Cut with Extra Long Bangs
Go red and let it burn! Don’t turn off the heat and enjoy a flaming copper hair color with this adorable short haircut. The neat outline is only interrupted by a touch of texture in the short part of the bangs, while the rest dramatically lengthens, almost covering one of her eyes.
A little asymmetry never hurts, and here it is used subtly. This hairstyle is perfect for the sporty and active woman who not only flirts with fashion but embraces it with passion.
Face-Framing Bob
Two evergreen favorites of hair fashion are brought together in this stylish and elegant yet extravagant hairstyle. A medium-length bob and the fine tapered line of a classic round cut make a perfect match.
Loop with a Scoop
For long, straight hair, this is a great way to tame it and achieve an elegant, radiant, and very unusual updo that revels in its simplicity but dazzles with its finely designed lines.
The hair is brushed super smooth and treated with a smoothing lotion, then a skilled looping and knotting technique moves part of the hair to the other side, lifting the long, loose curve before tucking it back in and under for a ravishing and, at second glance, deliciously confusing effect.
Updo with Gretchen Braids
Gwen Stefani made this look famous once again, and since then, it has become clear that there is nothing demure about rows of French braids woven from the front to the back, leaving a straight center part between them. At the nape, the ends of the braids are tucked in and pinned.
This rosy-cheeked country girl sets the trend for international fashionistas who enjoy a subtle drama with a hint of nonchalance, all in one dark blonde look.
Elegant Knot Updo
The high art of the knot is inspired not only by sailors but also by artistic weaving and knitting techniques. Thick strands of hair are wound around each other after a ponytail is formed high on the crown.
The resulting creation sits above her forehead at a sassy angle, reminiscent of a small hat that ladies wore in the early part of the last century. It’s a quiff, but what an adventurous one!
Extremely High Knotted Quiff
This is not for the shy or anxious. If you dare, go big and higher than everyone else. Despite its flamboyant shape, there’s still a touch of pioneer spirit and rustic charm in the knotted braid. What makes it special is its size and location. The hair is gathered at the crown, then twisted and knotted into this amazing sculpture.
