Reality rarely catches up with dreams. In this case, it did. The hairstyles are beautifully dreamy but also very real. For this collection, the Zentralverband des Deutschen Friseurhandwerks focuses on hairstyles that are unexpectedly flexible and offer quite a few surprising looks. Their secret lies in the refined cutting and styling techniques: the most important of these are undercutting and overlapping. Skilled undercuts provide supple textures, adding volume and life.
When it comes to hair length, style, and color, there is only one rule of thumb: anything goes! What pleases you and showcases your personality is what matters. Experimentation is encouraged since hair fashion is a reflection of our personal style—and that makes it a personal statement. The importance of functionality and pragmatism becomes secondary. Today, a look can be individual, unique, and authentic.
Princess Valiant
This short haircut skillfully plays with contrasts and is surprisingly innovative. The formal strictness of the short fringe is artfully broken up by the soft undercut and textured top hair with its fine tassels. The result is a very modern, cool look with playful effects. Important: a uniform hair color that emphasizes the lively texture.

For a major fashion statement, an expressive upward movement is key. The sides of the hair are elegantly sleeked back, allowing the face to be the focal point. The top hair, cut slightly longer than the sides and neck, is styled vertically and then left to fall naturally in whichever direction it desires.
A little control by hand will help. One of the keys to this short haircut's success is using styling products that leave a matte sheen, creating a look with a smooth, satiny surface rather than a wet, glossy, and often tacky shine.
Calm Finesse
Who says everything has to be spectacular all the time? Sometimes, the art lies in understatement. This variation of a casually styled short haircut is a perfect example: the volume on the crown creates glamour on its own. While combing it with your fingers, simply blow dry the hair towards the back. Use appropriate styling products to aid with hold. The starting point is a soft layered cut with gently textured tips.
Highlights in a light red-brown color are applied using a combing technique, adding great reflexes to the rich brunette. The versatility of this cut lies in its even layering and overall feathery texture. Refined: it’s ready for a night out one moment and effortlessly girly and natural the next, like Meg Ryan. The feathered texture and wispy, flipped-out ends complete the look.

This version of the layered and finely textured short haircut combines serenity with excitement. To enhance the texture and achieve a glamorous appearance, the hair was first dried for volume—one way is to use a round brush and pull the hair away from the head when blow drying—then scrunched with fingers and gently directed into a face-flattering position.
The very subtle highlights enhance the motion and dimension of this sophisticated and refined short hairstyle.
Pure Elegance
Snow White would have turned green with envy upon seeing this look. Ebony-colored hair doesn’t need to be super long to showcase its magic. This graduated bob with long top hair offers enough surface to highlight the depth and shine of very dark hair. The cut is softly layered, avoiding compact tips and instead providing a softening texture and sculpting.
With a deep side part and a fringe draped diagonally across the forehead, this hairstyle exudes pure elegance. It’s a fairy-tale look sure to please even stepmothers.

The power of black is evident in this wild and stylish version of the layered and textured bob. The neat image has been replaced with wild curls that tantalize the senses. To achieve this impressive and intense look, the damp hair is treated with mousse and a glossy agent, styled with a hot iron into curls and extreme points.
Adding a few angles increases the extravagance. For the finish, a little tousling with fingers adds all the appeal you want. Most of the volume is on top, and the contour is rounded to balance the movement within. The side fringe continues the elegance of the base shape.
Feminine Power
A beautiful shape that is dynamic and very feminine. The base of this innovative long hairstyle features overlapping contours with strong length variations, all flowing together. The base length remains compact in the layered hair, while the top hair is textured on the inside. The result is a slender silhouette subtly broken by volume on the crown. Color adds a luxurious touch: a warm shade of brown rendered luminously through red/golden reflexes. This subtlety makes a big impact!
The result is a look that radiates power and femininity, making it a great choice for those who want to appear professional yet modern and stylish. For the evening, it can be dressed up a bit more. A blow dryer and styling products add volume, but the showstopper is the asymmetrically styled tips, turned outward on top and bending inward along the lengths.

A bit of volume can do wonders! Transition from professional to party in a jiffy. The partition, which serves as a pivot point in this version, has shifted from left to right and now sits farther back. From here, the hair curves into a large sweep that covers most of the forehead, with this dynamic motion continuing all around the head.
Individual strands defy the norm, standing out with defined edges. All the fine layers reveal their energy in this bold play of intense movement and texture.

This third version of the long power look takes it a step further, infusing luxury and extravagant glamour into this alluring hairstyle. Volume and asymmetry are combined in a windswept creation that looks as if it’s in constant motion.
Rocking Dandy
Well-behaved and traditional? Not necessarily. The new generation of men's hairstyles embraces unconventional styles that pay homage to the zeitgeist. Full textures surprise, as seen in this smart cut inspired by ska-era style. The focus is on long, lightly textured top hair with an equally long fringe section, casually falling diagonally across the forehead. This is perfectly complemented by a deep, cool mocha brown.
The neck and sides remain short like classic styles, but the generous contours allow for many styling experiments. The rock 'n' roll variation with raised and casually styled back hair showcases the full potential of this cut. One moment it has a dandy-esque look, and suddenly, with an implied quiff, it transforms into a modern take on a 1960s hero.

A touch of retro never hurts! Especially when the 1950s quiff is updated and styled like this. This haircut is longer in the front than in the back, providing enough "material" to sculpt a high roll that extends from one temple to the other.
The sides are slicked back, staying true to the classic look, but the rest of the hair breaks with tradition and is styled across the grain on the crown. Individual tips are visible, and a slight feathering on the sides makes this look stand out. The dark brown hair looks even better with the right amount of shine, thanks to a product for every need.
Untamed and Casual
This seemingly untamed men’s look embodies the season’s trend: a cut on two levels with a light undercut and strongly textured overlapping contours, creating a full, engaging appearance. The front top section is longer and tapers into an asymmetrical, hook-shaped fringe. This complex technique makes a statement of ultimate nonchalance.
All of this is highlighted with fine reflexes of a sunlit color applied freehand. The result is a hairstyle that is wild and romantic at the same time. Styling variations include long tassels into the face or aerodynamically styled to the side. These men’s looks convince with their unconventionality. Special styling products help preserve hold and nourish the hair.
Untamed and Casual (2)
The previously adventurous look is now club-ready with a change in direction. The hair is curved outward and down, showcasing shiny light blonde highlights amidst brown shades. Darker sideburns increase the contrast and intensity.
The fringe doesn’t play a seductive game but rather highlights the well-studied Casanova gaze. Tousled but not disheveled, what seems effortless is well-planned and effective.
Soft Allrounder
Versatility is not a prerogative of women. Men also opt for haircuts that allow flexible styling. To achieve this, it’s important to start with a certain base length and dynamic texture to ensure vivacious hair—just like Justin Bieber's hair flip. For this style, the top hair remains fairly long, the contours are carefully undercut, and the tips are point-textured. Soft highlights add depth and shine.
The hair is styled forward and then swooshed in several directions to create a casual men's look that might become a new classic. The variation with a part and sleek lengths has a soft appearance and exudes masculine elegance—a stylish statement of confidence in fashion.
Soft Allrounder (2)
The angled hairline follows the shape of his cheekbones and enhances the fine texture that softens the corners and adds appeal. A classy element is introduced with the precise part, clear outline, and modest length of the neck. His blonde hair color lightens towards the front, but does so subtly.
The simplicity of the haircut and its basic shape give it a sophisticated virility, without the ruggedness often seen in similar styles. This is a look for the fashion-conscious man—the connoisseur who prefers quality and sublime elegance over loud effects.
