Portugal's master of style, Samuel Rocher, brings us another splendid collection of hairstyles. Twice a year, the creative team from the south of Europe presents beautiful hairstyles that are modern, elegant, and impressive, yet wearable—not just for photoshoots or runways. The styles have a very feminine feel and accommodate the natural flow of the hair, from waist length to just a few inches short.
Abundance is a theme especially evident in the curly styles, which are featured both open and free as well as in updos and shorter variations. A light and casual character defines all of the Spring and Summer Rocher styles, for both women and men. The two male looks are strongly based on traditional models but are updated with handsome texture and styling.

Long and Sleek with Wave
Simplicity is luxurious, and understatement is a major trend. It doesn’t have to be plain, though; just a few subtle design elements can elevate the look. The long and very straight hair was blown out for ultimate smoothness and then parted slightly off-center.
One side is slung towards the back, while the thicker side rests on her shoulder, accentuated by a large wave that runs along one side of her face. You can play with the arrangement and flip the hair forward or back; the key is the effortless and natural flow and the soft glow of the beige-blonde color with its fine transitions between darker and lighter areas.
Soft Knot
Hot days or festive nights take an elegant turn with this twisted knot created from long, very sleek hair. Once gathered into a low ponytail, the hair is twisted and bound into this exquisite chignon that sits right at her nape.
A wide strand has been left out on the side, one at the bottom part of the knot, and another on the opposite side. These strands should be treated with a smoothing serum to avoid any fuzzy flyaways and can be draped in the most enticing ways. Simple and artful, a summer treat!
Exotic Upstyle
Inspired by hairstyles of the ancient and exotic world, this high updo is a veritable eye-catcher. Elegance and effortlessness come together once again, and the magic is undeniable. A high chignon rises from a wrapped texture created by a wide, very smooth, and sleek strand.
A thin veil of long fringe fibers blurs part of her face, creating a lot of sensual mystery. Revealing more than what is shown has been a successful part of seduction since time began. Her hair color is a natural-looking blonde in a range of related nuances.
Long Natural-looking Curls
A mane like this doesn’t require fancy styling to be the star of any show. Long curls, as rare as they are, always leave a trail of breathless admirers.
Her well-defined corkscrew coils flow in happy abundance and are lightly layered starting around shoulder level. This allows the top section to be pulled out slightly by the weight of the hair, resulting in a very natural-looking shape and texture.
Simple Updo with Curls
A neat and perfect solution for a quick transformation of the opulent mane from before. The curls make it easy and fast to create a stylish and festive updo in no time. A few hairpins in the color of the hair allow for an invisible fastening of the curly hair in the back.
Skinny Long Bob
A stylish, sleek look with a lot of class and youthful energy. The length down to the shoulders is flattering for fuller faces, and the texture around the face works like an instant fountain of youth.
"Botox in a haircut" could be another title for this sassy look that falls so light and easy. A long fringe has a choppy texture, contrasting with the finely sliced sides. Her hair color is as earthy as can be, with dark chocolate and walnut tones.
French Twist
Another famous classic, the French twist, also called a banana roll. In the hands of Samuel Rocher’s creative team, this ultra-feminine look loses its strict lines and tight fit and is styled with soft swings, casually draped strands, and some free-falling curved accent strands along the side.
The steep neck is the signature outline for this masterpiece of sophistication. The shinier the hair, the better!
Curls Shaped with Layers
A classic but with more movement and softness than ever before. The thick curls have been shaped by cutting the hair into layers, resulting in an attractive diamond shape with just enough volume on the crown and the thickest part at her eye level.
A playful fringe makes her eyes stand out, and the gently narrowing angle down the sides has a slimming effect. Her hair color is a shiny espresso brown, perfectly matching her eyes.
Longer Pixie Cut
The sassy short haircuts known as pixie cuts now have more length, especially in front. A beautiful line is created in the back with a gradual lengthening of the hair from the neck to the top and flipped-up tips.
The crown is all about volume and movement, culminating in a long fringe that is as light and airy as spun sugar. Tiny accents right before the ears complete this beautiful look.
Textured Haircut for Men
Modern spice and a classic soul give this short haircut for men its strong appeal. With finely graduated side and neck sections, there is an almost seamless transition in length towards the crown, where the hair is long enough to play with.
The styling in the photos brings out the texture of the hair and allows for a certain level of tousling. The combination of a disheveled section and the neatly groomed outline, topped off with a beautiful stubble beard, makes an impression at the office and creates weak knees wherever he goes.
Cropped in Black
Rock stars and businessmen have been seen with this type of hairstyle, a wonderful sign of how lines between different groups and lifestyles are blurring. All that’s left is a lot of handsomeness.
His thick, dark hair is traditionally short on the sides and in the back, with some added length on top and a lot of texture that invites adventurous styling. Rough and tough one day, smooth and cool the next.
