Barbara Wuillot always stays a cut above the competition and once again proves her elevated sense of what women need and want on their heads. Elegance paired with avant-garde shapes and daring effects appears in several styles for one base cut. Can you identify which hairstyles are all made from the same hair?
This collection showcases the possibilities and versatility of well-treated hair. Long and shiny is a great look, but there is a vast world of fabulous styles out there. It takes a little more effort, but we are so worth it, aren't we?
Sophisticated Simplicity
This sounds like an understatement, as there is nothing simple about this long hairstyle. The lines are sleek, and the form is supple, full, and shaped with a beautiful face-framing curve that transitions into a stylish, tapered angle.
The large curls applied to this hairstyle are enhanced by the angle along the sides, which gives it an exquisite flair of timeless beauty. A great touch is the asymmetry created by the off-center part and the twist in the styling on the opposite side. A rich honey blonde becomes ethereal with beige blonde highlights.
Waves of Satin
The smoothness of the wide, defined waves is incredible. It gives the satin sheen that makes this long hairstyle so precious and unforgettable. After treating the hair with a high-quality, non-sticky smoothing serum, large sections were separated from behind the ears forward.
The beautiful waves decrease in size from the crown to the tips, and the large curve of the fringe starts the fluid movement. The back falls heavily and smoothly with some roundness at the ends. With a side part, this look is a classic example of timeless beauty.
Lovely Fuzz
Create sparks and leave a big impression with a head full of wild curls in various shapes. Round, large, small, crinkled—some sections smooth, others fuzzy, and with a kink. The mix of wave patterns makes this voluminous hairstyle unique and interesting.
Most of the hair is styled away from the face to showcase her ivory beauty. A larger wave created from her long fringe is a stylish eye-catcher. The texture becomes smaller towards the bottom, with the cut layered and rounded in the back.
Long and Curly
Long, curly, and full of wondrous volume, this giant mane is sure to make you the star wherever you go. Large, sweeping waves adorn the crown and transition to a mix of smaller and medium-sized curls and waves.
The hair is styled away from the face, with significant effort put into creating stylish lift at the crown. The rest of the hair is a wonderful mix of definition and wild abandon, with thin highlights adding depth and creating little sparks of sunshine throughout.
Up-Style with Elegant Waves
The high volume boosted by large waves and curls creates this airy, soft, and feminine up-style. The long back and layered sides were gathered gently and rolled up in the back.
Contrast in a Loop
Feeling expressive and craving a bit more drama in your look? Creative spirits who aren’t afraid of attention will love this combination of two intense textures. The main body of the more-than-shoulder-length hair consists of extremely deconstructed curls, almost matted and comparable to the texture of fresh cotton candy.
Teasing, smoothing, and teasing again achieve this texture. The dramatic contrast is the fringe, rolled into an ultra-smooth barrel that sits high on the forehead. Abstract shapes, emotional textures, and charisma are the secret ingredients of this amazing look.
Modern Sculpture
If the famous sculptor Henry Moore had done hair, it might look something like this up-style. Large sections are twisted and slung around each other, overlapping and supporting one another to form a rounded, abstract shape with a very high forehead and extreme elevation. The back and sides also stretch upward, giving her face and neck a very slender appearance.
This is a new kind of elegance, with a touch of abstract art and unconventional, free-flowing shapes. The surface is free of any stray hairs. Smoothing serum is essential for hairstyles like this. Take this look to the opera or wear it whenever you need a dose of extravagance.
High Updo
You are the queen of your life, and it’s time to show the regal side of you to the world. A high updo with wide sections of hair, arranged in a curvy, snaky shape, is just the right hairstyle.
A very artistic and striking touch is the fine strands of hair that peek out at the very top, shaped like small tendrils or branches of coral. Contrasts like this elevate the artistry and energy of a hairstyle. This refined creation also has elements of Japanese geisha styles.
Melody of Style
A shape reminiscent of a precious musical instrument is created from a long section of hair that was draped on one side from mid-height to chin level. After the hair was gathered into a tight and extremely smooth side ponytail, it was curved up and arranged in this artsy pattern, which looks natural and eternally beautiful.
An up-style as intense as this does not require additional accessories and must stand on its own, showcasing the magic of perfect proportions, harmony, and aesthetics.
Crimp and Crinkle
Two strong textures from the same source but in different sizes turn up the heat and fashion factor for this long and extravagant hairstyle. Get out the old crimper and use it all over, or even better, let your stylist do it.
Barbara Wuillot created wonderful tension and contrast with the hair crimped into tiny, fairy wing-fine ripples, and several long strands in front ironed into a larger wave pattern before being slung around the head in a loose, seemingly random fashion.
The pattern also influences the shine and how the light is reflected, adding another layer of texture to this highly exciting example of haute coiffure.
Crinkled Updo
Go out in style and be as flamboyant and beautiful as you can be. There is no limit to finesse and elegant hair fashion with Barbara Wuillot. The high level of skill and visionary design that went into this crinkled updo is award-worthy, and even if you can’t get the original, take the idea and start a new trend.
The crimped mane from the previous look was taken to new heights by gathering all the hair right in the center of the crown. The ends are left to stick out, shaping a fun, feathery accent pointing forward.
