De-Constructivism

Sassoon Creative Team

Postmodern styles to make hair move and shake
 
De-Construction is the new term in hair fashion. Styles with multiple appearances dominate the scene. Sassoon embraces this trend in their spring/summer collection and experiments with hair colors, shapes, and refined cutting techniques to our heart’s content.
 
The cuts have the soul of a classic. However, they are postmodern in their outer appearance and are full of surprises inside and underneath. Move them, shake them, and you’ll find new angles and incarnations each time you do.
 
Hair colors come in a mix of earthy and ethereal hues, even combining opposites like purple and brown. They are applied in transitions, curves, arches, and panels to achieve a range of dynamic effects that support the lines and character of each individual cut.
 

To Veil or Not to Veil

Modern short bob for sleek hair
 
A thin, long, and slightly textured panel can be styled to the front of the short bob to create a light veil and add a touch of mystery to the face.
 
With each movement of the hair, a new combination of earthy brown and divine purple becomes visible, accentuating the flux and flow of the sleek, silken romance that characterizes this modern style with the heart of a classic.
 

Metallic Asymmetry

Bob hairstyle with sweeping bangs
 
Deep bangs flow from a point high on the crown and almost conceal the eyes in a dynamic, asymmetrical sweeping motion that ends in a textured curve. The other side contrasts this activity with static geometry and angles.
 
With varying stylings and directions of the hair, the inner life of the hair color magic becomes evident. Layers and a network of panels and strands in purple, bluish pewter, and black cast their iridescent spell on anyone who is not color blind.
 

Tidy or Wild

Tidy short haircut with a high pivot
 
Every woman has at least two sides, and she needs a hairstyle that can transition from a tidy, clean structured look to a wild, let-it-all-out style. A low side part, high pivot, long fringe with meticulous cutting lines is the still water that reveals its fun and dynamic inner life with just a little ruffling of the surface.
 
All of this sudden movement is supported by a refined combination of warm and cool hues in earthy browns.
 

Transparent Glow

Short haircut with a graduated back for platinum blonde hair
 
This short helmet style features a curved cutting line that runs all around the head to shape the sleek top layer, which transitions smoothly into a graduated back side while slightly overlapping longer sections on the sides.
 
The rounded dip in front can be styled to either side, and with each change, it reveals a new pattern of the colors. The platinum blonde plays with smooth transitions and sections of charcoal.
 

Tilted Texture

Short bowl cut for hair with highlights and lowlights
 
A slight tilt adds modern charm to the short bowl cut hairstyle, which also features an abrupt elongation on the side of the bangs. This elongation comes into play when the styling is modified from a sleek and shiny look to an edgy, angled, neo-punk chic.
 
A glowing blonde base provides a radiant foundation for highlights and lowlights, adding drama and enhancing the motion.
