Gilded Youth by Sassoon
A new generation of Style Britannia combines metropolitan fashion elements with the flair of aristocrats on a country outing. Sassoon transcends these ultratraditional British shapes, colors, and flavors, translating them into a collection of distinct looks that are anything but understated.
Graduated cuts with rounded shapes and long fringes are crafted with Sassoon perfection, creating "little caps of hair on top of the head," as Mark Hayes, Sassoon Creative Director, describes. Underneath these caps, long panels of hair create a layered effect, presenting a novel duality with intense appeal. Hair colors capture light in natural landscapes and display it with stunning intensity.
Cut with Different Lengths
This morning sun blonde helmet of sleekness delights with its sharp angles and asymmetric cutting line, full of precision and attitude. A long, equally straight panel of hair extends outward, accenting a padded shoulder before concluding with a modern square ending.
The wild counterpart to the controlled style in the second picture features a boyish, tousled fringe that tops a geometric-lined creation underneath. It stands apart with its wind-blown texture and golden hue, a few steps lighter than the rest. Long panels down the sides emphasize the eccentric character.
Cap Hair Design
Sleek and precisely molded, this helmet-shaped hairstyle features perfectly drawn lines that wrap around the forehead before connecting to the nape in a leaf-shaped point. Hair color adds vibrancy to the uniform, smooth surface, defining the shape with shades of autumn foliage—from burgundy red in the back to chestnut and honey gold on top and in front.
The roundness of the first look is restyled to highlight the precise angles that were previously hidden. The "cap" design is most evident here, with its contrast of light and dark hair colors and a rounded top section floating above a hard-edged base.
Modified Bob
With a color as delicate as an early morning mist on the English countryside, this modified bob style exudes an ethereal aura. Parted high on the crown, just off-center, the long fringe seduces with its strong shape and full determination. A gentle lift at the roots provides roundness and volume, while the side remains demure and curved along the face.
In the second version of the style, the graduated and velvety short top section on the side is more pronounced. The longer sections of hair, just below the buzz and in the fringe, are twisted and pulled out, breaking the silence and inviting exploration in an imaginary fairy forest.
