Close Up by Michel Dervyn
With his collection, "Close Up," master of hair Michel Dervyn presents a line of wearable, sophisticated looks that are ready for the limelight. The flattering styles are cut to flow naturally while always maintaining an elegant shape and sensuous vibe.
The feminine styles are medium-length and either textured or curled; the longer looks come with a twisted surprise.
Silky Volume
Natural, wild, and bursting with trendy texture, this long bob is irresistible. The hair is cut to a shoulder-length trapeze shape with finely textured tips. The part is anchored at the center of the crown but moved to the side to bring in more movement and interest.
The intriguing element of this look is the styling. Saturated with a flexible yet strong styling product, the straight hair overlaps and lifts in selected sections to create this light and tantalizing volume.
Defined Curls
A head full of waves and curls is always romantic and luxurious, especially when the curls are as defined as they are in this example. Here, the shoulder-length hair was rolled over medium curlers and gently arranged with the hands once the curls were set.
Deep bangs add a youthful touch. The color is a mild golden blonde that enhances the glamorous feel of this charming style.
Tingling Texture
This classic, simplistic style for medium-length hair has been updated with the finest texturing possible. Straight hair at shoulder length was given long bangs, a simple center part, and a light tapering on the sides to better frame the face.
All cutting lines were thinned to an extremely subtle texture that gives a unique transparency to the edges and radiates a new, tingling energy.
Faux French
At first glance, you might think you're looking at a classic French braid. Look again. This beautiful look for long hair is twisted like a rope. Beginning at the forehead, the hair was gathered from the sides to the top of the head, where it was bound with six small rubber bands.
Twisted Updo
Based on the previous "Faux French" braid look, this updo was created to showcase the texture of the braid even better. The long ponytail was slung around the head and fastened invisibly with pins. A great example of an elegant, peasant-inspired look.
Short, Thick and Choppy
Beautiful tousled hair will always have a place in the world of fashion and trends. This wild look is based on a layered cut with a short neck and gradually lengthening hair towards the front, culminating in long, thick, and heavy bangs.
The hair was cut to a choppy, chunky texture and kneaded with product to achieve maximum lift at the roots and motion, especially in the front.
Bed Hair
It might appear to be the look of the morning after, but for this handsome man, it could just as easily be the look before. Neatly cut sideburns and nape sections make room for a thick mass of layered and tousled top section that refuses to conform to any rules.
With much lift but gentle flowing lines and a few teasing strands reaching into the forehead, this look will put this beau on the "most wanted" list.
Dynamo in Walnut
Short sides and long layers on top with heavy movement are the look for active men of fashion. Easy to maintain and always attractive, this haircut is not just extremely trendy but also versatile. Men with attitude who don’t spend their lives in a cubicle are finding new ways to express themselves. Michel Dervyn gently nudges them in the right direction.
