Da Da Dolls by Sassoon
Almost one hundred years after Hans Arp, Tristan Tzara, Marcel Janco, and Emmy Hennings founded the revolutionary Dada movement and turned the international art scene upside down, their ideas remain vibrant and are once again turning heads.
The incredibly creative team at the great house of Sassoon has revived the bohemian revolution, breaking away from rigid standards and celebrating the irrational and eccentric. They have created a line of edgy, artistic hairstyles inspired by the radical spirit of the Groupe Dada.
Composition in Two Tones
Sleek panels appear as if cut by lasers and stir the senses with their intense contrast of merlot red and black hair color. The back is cut with equal precision but tapered to develop a curve when the hair is styled into a dramatic upward flip.
This creates a dynamic contrast with the stable and solid front section. The angled, asymmetrical bangs fall deep into the face and are anchored at a high pivot point on the crown.
Forth and Back
A helmet-shaped cut is adorned with bold spiky wings: one pointing straight back and the other forward. Rules are meant to be broken, especially in art. The expression here is delivered through the round yet aggressive shape and the intense dark red color that make this art warrior a force to be reckoned with.
Metallic Charge
Platinum blonde is radical on its own. When styled into a short, distinct shape with a mix of sleek and textured elements, it becomes explosive. The top section is anchored far back and follows the shape of the head, ending in a long, precise fringe.
To heighten the effect, the back is tapered and styled upward, where the textured ends create a tiny whirlwind on the shiny surface.
Triangles Rule
The basic round silhouette of the helmet-like short cut is offset by two edgy elements: a purple triangle peeks out from underneath a platinum blonde textured fringe, and a second triangle is styled into the back on the left side with a steep tapered cut.
Edges and curves, light and dark, are the elements that bring dreamlike abstraction to this daring look.
Rendezvous in Black
Perfectly straight lines highlight the distinctly made-up features and frame the face with a square shape. A smooth yet precise cap of hair follows the head's shape until a laser-sharp line defines the short bangs and angled sideburns.
The surprise comes with a rebellious strand of hair on the right side of the back, lifting itself out of the uniform shiny blackness and challenging the geometry.
Veiled Fit
Tight sleekness radiates a metallic shimmer against the deepest cave black. The exaggerated sideburns are beyond androgynous, but the look is feminized by a semi-transparent veil that reveals just a hint of the precisely shaped curve of the short fringe.
Electric boldness and beautiful finesse accompany the coolness of the color and cut, making a statement of timeless, unlimited art.
