Extremely groomed short haircuts are made unique with refined and bold textures, clear colors, and easy yet very visible styling. Random shapes did not make it into Richard Ward's Cruise collection, but a series of sophisticated and jazzy looks showcase the skill of a great stylist.
Fringes come in both long and short shapes, always with a lot of softening texture. The basic shapes are round and snug with much movement and visually stimulating structures. The character of Richard Ward's Cruise looks is sporty and fresh with an understated air of sophistication.
Jaw-Length Bob
The jaw-length, side parted bob is fully textured throughout. The exquisite cut and razor work create a head-hugging shape with a delightful angle in the softly graduated neckline.
There are no sharp edges, only beautifully soft lines dyed in a spicy red tone.
Short Haircut with a Graduated Nape
Short, textured layers and a fringe about three times the length make this a memorable haircut. The fringe floats in front of half the face in its semi-transparent flirtatiousness. The nape is short and graduated.
Shorter layers and texturing throughout keep the shape smooth and round. Vanilla blonde is an ideal match for the sporty and rebellious chic.
Sleek and Smooth Short Hair
Even short hair can be luxurious. This cropped coif not only impresses with its pure and elegant mother-of-pearl shine but also with its soft lines. This is about as soft as texturing can get, yet there is plenty of it.
Minimal styling lifts the hair just a touch at the roots and keeps it snug along the sides and in the back. The fringe also follows the shape of the head in a slightly diagonal direction.
Cropped Short Pixie Cut
Pull out all the stops and show the world what you're made of. This highly textured short haircut is designed to empower you. Cropped short pixie cuts have always been a confident choice, and this modern version will not disappoint. Varying shades of blonde and simple, yet determined styling keep things natural and flexible.
Exposing the Ear
A smoky blend of colors highlights the graphic shape of this asymmetric short haircut. Similar styles have been made famous by singer Rihanna. The sides are strongly defined with a clear cutting line exposing the ear before transitioning into the neatly graduated nape. The long fringe is barely under control, adding a cool and seductive touch.
Fashionable Short Hair
Shorter layers on top transition smoothly with the longer fringe, and all is balanced out by the extra-short linear sides. This energetic combination gives the hairstyle its volume, movement, and fashionable distinction. It only takes minimal effort to sweep the long bangs to the side in such an elegant motion.
Modern Wavy Hairstyle
Everything precious shines. To make hair look especially luxurious, it takes intense care and conditioning, but the result is worth it. Show off your sparkly locks in a long, wavy style that has been a timeless favorite since the time of Botticelli. A side part and refined highlighting techniques make it even more elegant and modern.
Fluff It Up
A touch more casual, these brushed-out waves slightly recall the 1980s big hair era. Volume is created by fluffing up the long, sweeping layers during styling and separating the hair more than in the previous example. A bit of teasing and choice products will help keep you cruising for a long time.
Hair Tugged Under
Instead of pulling the hair up, it was tugged under to create this seemingly elaborate up-style. The effect is impressive but relatively easy to achieve. A few strands from the front were twirled and pinned underneath each other in the back while adding a little height at the crown.
