Sculptural beauty created from hair is Martin Crean's statement for the season as he presents a selection of four ultimately festive and elegant hairstyles.
Each one is a strong character in its own right, and the four could not be more different in their expressions. Yet, they all share a commitment to style, elegance, timelessness, and bold determination.
Clean, clear lines, extreme volume, and texture or an artistic updo invite you to celebrate the high art of timeless fashion crafted from hair.
Cleopatra Revisited
There is a plan and purpose for each individual hair in this regal hairstyle inspired by ancient Egypt. The perfection is evident in the clean, blunt cutting line, the consistently straight styling, and the precise geometry of the entire cut.
The true artistry is in the details: a narrow crimp at the edge of the boldly short and curved fringe, as well as the careful choice of length and angle, showcases the eye and intuition of a true master, making this look ideal for the regal women of today.
Pure Luxury
Volume, huge curls, and a sunshine blonde color—what more could one wish for? This epitome of luxury expressed in hair is layered generously throughout. This distribution of incredible volume from root to ends allows the curls to achieve their fullest, most playful potential.
The curls and waves appear very natural, and it hardly matters whether they are or not, as long as they remain this gorgeous.
Double Coil
Two thick rolls of hair coil their way around the head, floating in their heavy lusciousness like a postmodern headdress. This elaborate look has catwalk caliber but is also a great choice for any festive event or occasion that calls for a grand appearance.
The artistry of the creation is especially evident in the refined wrapping technique and the shiny finish, with not a single hair out of place.
Alabaster Flames
A classic punk-inspired haircut, now with an extra dose of mojo. High energy is expressed through the soft, wavy spikes that rise above the shaved sides, which retain only a mere stubble of hair. Contrasting light and dark shades enhance the effect. What’s new is the feminine softness in the movement and styling.
