Heritage by Alexandre de Paris
The designers of the prestigious house of haute coiffure took a stroll through history to bring us the breathtaking looks of their Heritage Collection.
Inspired by the grand styles of queens and goddesses from bygone centuries and mythical lands, they created a series of six elaborate and beautiful hairstyles that invite us to spread our wings and transform into the glamorous and regal women we were born to be.
Long Brunette Spiral Curls
Long brunette spiral curls and a large smooth section reaching from the crown all the way to the chin are the stuff that luxury is made of. The generous curls and waves are almost too beautiful and perfect to be real.
The face is framed by the most elegant line that originates where the side part meets the forehead above the temple. From here, the hair flows in a smooth curve along the shape of the face, while the other side gently exposes the ear.
Anita Ekberg Look
The icy blonde waves cascade over the shoulders like liquid gold. An inherent fire melts glaciers and looks like it could contribute to global warming. With inspiration from film noir and stars like Catherine Deneuve and "La Dolce Vita" Anita Ekberg, this look will take every woman to fashion heaven and turn her into a timeless icon.
Updo with Wrapped Up Hair
Long, slicked strands of hair were wrapped around and on top of each other to create a classic shape that has been updated for the 21st century. Exact partitioning of the hair and good pomade that does not add too much weight are key to this unique up-style.
The creativity and skill of a master coiffeur put the right curves into this beautiful knot.
Layered Braids
Aphrodite reborn. The old master painters would have gone crazy over the elaborate structure of this model's hair. Braids of all sizes, from super thick to finger-thin, are wrapped in generous loops around the back of the head and around each other.
The tiniest braid is woven to accent the creation. There might be enough real hair on one head for this look, but plenty of faux braids are available for purchase.
Crown of Braided Hair
With this crown of braided hair, you will keep your head held high and bask in your newfound regal attitude. Around the center of strictly pulled-back hair, enormous braids are wrapped to form a round base about the same diameter as the head.
Smaller, very long braids are arranged in a coiled pattern that adds an even more surreal princess touch to this unique retro-futuristic look. Princess Leia, watch out!
Rasta Hairstyle with Dreadlocks
These are not your everyday dreadlocks. Each matted strand is designed to its specific shape and direction. Large rolls of hair first move away from the face and add significant weight and volume to the crown. From here, they flow and sway freely, following the rhythm and the wind.
This extravagant look has it all—a little bit of Jamaica, a touch of Star Wars, and the flair of a great Parisian salon.
