Sculpted shapes give this contemporary collection of hairstyles an artsy feel. Emphasis is placed on clearly defined shapes and muted colors. Extreme graduation at the nape and longer hair towards the top and front create unusual contours and interesting new styling options. All of the short hair looks are top-heavy, featuring most of the action above the ears.
Curls, whether short or long, are thick and luscious as perfect curls should be. The hair colors are derived from a natural palette and, except for the red mane, are slightly muted and soothingly neutral, but never dull.
Fancy Fringe
This extra-long fringe injects new energy into the supershort crop. A neatly graduated rear creates a smooth and appealing nape. Distinctly cut sides with a little arrow towards the cheekbones are stylish and trendy.
The wow factor comes with the almost chin-length fringe that starts with a short and wide curve on the side of the forehead. Pure black is the color of choice, elegant and mysterious.
Curls on the Rise
A truly uplifting short hair look with thick curls hovering above an invisible line at the top of the ear. Shaped almost like an elegant hat, this look combines sculptural trendiness with movement and beautiful texture.
The fringe is pulled low while the nape is lifted and finely graduated. The hair color is a soft nougat tone, earthy but with a touch of metallic shine.
Metropolitan Minimalism
Simplicity done right equals high style. A short, round top is set apart from the graduated velvety short crop by a straight and blunt horizontal line that hovers about half an inch above the ears and eyebrows.
The sleek silkiness of the mushroom cut shines even more due to the intense platinum blonde color. Eyebrows gleam in the same hue, adding a surreal touch to this ultramodern look.
Burgundy Wildflower
Extreme volume meets an extreme color for a stunning rendezvous. The burgundy color matches the vibrancy of the large, thoroughly shaped curls. The long hair is cut round, with the longest part in the back. This contributes to the shapely flow and incredible volume. A side partition and larger waves around the face give the wild mass a sophisticated turn.
Low Flow Fringe
Capturing the trendy draped look, the fringe is styled into a low-flowing curve. It is set apart from the back part of the short style not only by its length but also by its slightly lighter color.
The hair color transitions from a dark brown to a bronze tone with bold blonde highlights, underlining the direction of the cut from the steeply graduated nape, the slightly lifted crown, to the low front.
Bride of the Wind
A rough texture is highlighted by the intense color contrast from dark espresso to light vanilla dew. The medium-long straight hair is styled to one side, loosely gathered just off the crown to shape a casual upstyle that appears light and fluid in its windswept motion. Asymmetry adds a modern and festive touch.
