Renaissance by Maurice Meade
Australia's popular hair artists from the Maurice Meade team are presenting a series of hairstyles to celebrate a new renaissance—a rebirth of femininity, glamour, and festive looks that are elegant and sophisticated.
Soft, supple shapes interact with well-chosen, brilliant colors that reflect the light like precious gems. The blonde, red, and brunette styles from Meade feature well-balanced contours, smooth surfaces, and a mesmerizing silken glow.
High Hold
Flattering volume is puffed up with much lift at the base and styled back to an elegant, out-of-the-face look. Achieving this requires gentle drying while sculpting the hair with a round brush, as well as good styling products.
This hairstyle is an easy choice for a glamorous night. Mousse, smoothing lotion, and maximum hold hairspray are a girl's best friends to achieve this effortless and appealing look.
French-Braided Wildness
The orderly structure of a French braid is combined with a wild and wavy mane for this seductive and glamorous hairstyle. The braid starts at the forehead and runs high on the side, all the way to the back.
A few strands of the layered and unruly part of this look hide the rear section of the braid. Tousling and kneading the hair with the fingers creates a wild and opulent look that is only barely tamed.
Satin Wave
A chin-length bob cut with gentle texture and a long fringe is the recipe for a variety of sophisticated, timeless looks. This glammed-up version has the fringe elegantly swept back in a light and airy wave.
The invisible hold is best achieved with a strong hairspray and fairly light hair to begin with. The glorious light blonde color is festive, feminine, and flatters a porcelain complexion.
Tapered Locks
An uncomplicated yet stylish look with very smooth transitions from top to tips. The highlighted sandy blonde hair was parted on the side and cut in a tapered line to shape a dynamic frame for the face.
The long hair was first styled to straight smoothness, and for a simple but grand effect, the ends were gathered on both sides and swirled into large spirals.
Long Luxury
Face-framing and shoulder-hugging, this style features sandy beach blonde hair with an elegant matte shine. Nothing can go wrong with a luxurious yet simple, ultimately feminine style like this tempting creation.
The ends of the hair gently roll, curl, and flow well below the shoulders. Smoothness and movement are key.
Vintage Finger Waves
Every now and then, finger waves make a comeback and enchant us anew. It takes a little work to set the hair in this soft and regular wave pattern, but the effort is well worth it.
No accessories are visible in the back, where the hair is tucked under for a vintage glam look that is perfect for holidays, birthdays, dates, or just because you feel like it.
Caramel Infusion
Few things are more seductive, feminine, and classy than an elegant updo. This loose and flowing example makes an even bigger impact because no pins, barrettes, or elastic bands are visible.
The slightly curly hair was fluffed up and then loosely gathered in the back, where it was attached from underneath with dark hairpins. A great eye-catcher is the caramel-colored inlay on the sides.
Classic Red
The key to elegance is simplicity—indicating and understating while emphasizing the specific qualities of the hair and the woman. The red of this coppery creation is just red enough to catch the eye and radiate a warm, passionate glow without taking over. It supports the hue of the skin and does not compete with the lipstick.
The shape of this look is also simple and pure. Flowing lines with large curves at the ends, styled into thick hair that does not require any tricks to be opulent.
Intermission
Winter is the time for concerts and galas, for big dresses and festive hair. Let's not forget about the jewelry. Hair should support the personality and bring out the best in every woman. It should not compete with her outfit or her jewelry. That makes the glam styles by Maurice Meade so special.
The focus is on great flow and simplicity paired with elegant lines and structures. No further accessories are needed, and the styles will hold all night long.
