Levitas
Tracey Hughes @ Mieka Hairdressing
Def. Latin for levity; "lightness"
A gentle, sophisticated new vintage emerges, with freshness and lightness being the essential philosophy behind the trends. Levitas by Mieka Hairdressing's Tracey Hughes is an enchanted fantasy where images defy gravity and contradict gloomy realities with refreshing lightness.
The collection's striking shapes are inspired by classic minimalism, architecture, and romance, while a hybrid of nature, craft, and science collide. Natural, transparent filaments fuse with technological accents to produce emerging color sensations.
Silky Thickness
Full, long hair is brought to its full potential with this striking look. The cut features choppy, heavily textured lengths with increasing density towards the thick inner base, which has a barely shoulder-length neck section and thick sideways bangs.
A warm chocolate brown is infused with the color of pure temptation, a sizzling red tone. Styled to ultimate lightness with sleek lines and flowing strands, this look embodies all elements of the current trends.
Fluff and Crinkle
Modern goddesses of the Afro look embrace blonde and crinkles. The result is an angelic look with a lot of texture and an exciting edge. The hair was elaborately shaped into tiny, crinkly waves and then carefully brought into its heavenly fuzzy shape.
The hair color is a balanced mélange of light-filled platinum and a deeper, sandy blonde for substance and dimension.
Waves with Shades
This short and long creation boasts a play of textures and colors. The appeal of the gamine base cut with strict cutting lines along the sides and back is intensified by the gravity-defying wavy section in front.
The undulated bangs are full of feminine energy and enhanced by the effect of deep mahogany and subtle, matte blonde meeting and complementing each other.
Rusty Shades of Midnight
A short, sleek haircut is a great canvas for exciting coloring techniques. The stylists showcase their sensational skills on this magnificent, radiant piece of hair art. The minimalism of the cut and the creative expression of the color come together in a creative big bang.
The bangs are rounded and reach the eyelashes, while the sides and back are masculine and short. The chosen colors are deep mahogany, bright copper, and a cool midnight blue with special effects.
Ebony and Ivory
Every story has two sides, and we love the black-and-white narration of this formidable look. Be it for an enchantress of the night or the daytime diva, the stark contrasts of the structured bob speak for themselves.
The asymmetry of the color is mirrored in an asymmetric styling that uses smooth and fluffed, pointy textures to frame the face.
Evolution of Waves
Long hair is even more luxurious in a wavy incarnation. Besides embodying all the attributes of a seductive, opulent curly look, this style is especially stunning with a range of architectural displays of the stages of a wave.
From a round barrel to loosened and increasingly crinkly curves, this style is a great example that there is still much room for unexplored creativity with hair.
Pink Lightning
Pixie cut and pink are the recipe for a truly unique combination of cut and color. The short, layered hair is textured to ultimate fineness and silky flow. On a base of blinding platinum blonde, a few pink sprinkles were placed like frosting on a cupcake. Who could resist that?
The styling allows many variations, each determining a different appearance of the color pattern. Here, the look was punked up with some mousse to get a tousled, spiky appeal.
Big, Big Hair
A flavor of the huge, bouncy looks of the 1980s, as sported then by Farrah Fawcett and friends, comes along with this thrilling force of hair nature. Parted casually on the side, the hair billows with volume and fluff in an oversized cascade tinted in chocolate, caramel, and snowy platinum tones.
Color, cut, and the wavy texture all work together to create a statement of feminine strength and confident style.
