With her collection, Barbara Wuillot explores the impact of different hairstyles on two women. One begins with a short bob, while the other starts with long hair. Enter the wonder of hair extensions, and a true metamorphosis takes both of them to new expressions and very different styles.
The focus is on feminine lines, soft volume, and styles that take a woman everywhere she wants to go—from elegant everyday looks to extravagant runway-ready styles. The facets of a woman are reflected in her various hairstyles.
Shaped Bob
This look uses the woman's own hair and best showcases the base cut that is later built upon and modified. The almost chin-length bob features a lovely side fringe, curved with swing and determination.
The front corners also spring up, shaping two lovely curves around her face that are very feminine and carry a subtle retro flair that we all love so much. This is a great look for sophisticated women with an affinity for timeless and classic fashion.
Metamorphosis with Curls
On her journey through a selection of beautiful hairstyles, this one brings out her mysterious and passionate side. Beautiful curls lift the lines of the short bob and are styled for an extra dose of lift, keeping all the hair out of the face. The curls themselves are light and airy with good definition, but there’s also a lot of fluffed-up, deconstructed action.
The big effect that turns this stylish look into a glam fantasy is the double headband made of hair in the same color. It runs diagonally across her forehead and adds a big dose of boho and 1960s extravagance.
Curled Updo
If the previous curls are too wild for your taste, take a closer look at this attempt to tame the bouncy mass. Even though her original hair is rather short, an updo is still an option. The curled hair is styled toward the back with just a few accent locks remaining on each side of her face.
Hairspray and fine hairpins in her hair color secure the rest in the back for an elegant evening look with plenty of volume. Playful and romantic.
Elegant Updo with Extensions
Hair extensions are not only used to add vertical length but also come in handy for updos, giving the hair more body and length to work with. This creation is elegant enough for a wedding and has a sophisticated, cosmopolitan, and classy feel.
No stray hair disrupts the sleek movement of the hair, which sits very close to the scalp all around, except for the large bulbous chignon on top. A faux ponytail that can be clipped in is a good choice for this style.
Updo with a Large Quiff
Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Stewart were among the first to bring the quiff back into focus. This retro-inspired style is a modern alternative to the updo from the previous picture. It still has a lot of drama but with more edge and spunk. It will definitely turn heads but is wearable even at less formal functions.
Extensions Galore
No one has to know your secret. Hair extensions can transform already beautiful hair into something drop-dead gorgeous. Length and volume are pumped up to an almost decadent opulence, and together with the disheveled waves, this hairstyle leaves everyone breathless.
The well-brushed top section falls in soft curves that flow into large round barrel shapes, which then feather out into textured tips. The ash blonde color of her natural hair is enhanced with highlights from the extensions. This style has a perfect mix of sophistication and untamed sensuality.
Soft Side Braid
A wonderful alternative to wearing long hair loose is a soft, loose braid that hangs over one shoulder. To make this elegant rather than country, the focus is on creating lots of soft curves around the head.
The well-brushed hair is draped loosely, with thick strands twisted into twines and then gathered together to shape a very open and loose long Rapunzel braid. Extensions provide the thickness and additional length needed to create this modern fairy tale look.
Winged Fringe
A lovely alternative to updos and wearing hair down is to simply take the frontal strands and drape them back. This classic "pretty girl" look, through Barbara Wuillot's vision, becomes a dramatic expression of femininity with a heavy dose of class. Incredible volume is fluffed up in the lengths.
Gently teasing the hair accentuates the waves and softens too much definition. The result is a tousled mass of long hair that seems to have fallen from hair heaven. The contrast is a smooth and neat top section, very well controlled as opposed to the seemingly untamed length.
Long Princess Hair
You don’t have to be born of royal blood to look like you were raised in a castle. Her long hair, enhanced with extensions, is brushed to silky smoothness. A product is used to keep the hair smooth and avoid flyaways or static. This satiny river is directed to one side, the wider side of the off-center partition, flowing gently over her shoulder all the way to her waist.
The large waves are irregular enough to look effortless and natural, while some finesse was applied to the hair closest to her face, styled with a beautiful curl under her chin. A small touch like that can change the character of many feet of hair. Imagine what it can do to shorter hair!
Sleek Updo
For grand events, forego the big volume and opt for simple, sleek elegance. Less is more with this refined updo that has the lines of fine art. The hair is treated to extreme smoothness and sleekness, then pulled over to one side.
Two loops are formed: one from the frontal section, curving above her ear, and the other gently nestled between her neck and shoulder.
