"Tribu" by Shampoo by Michel Dervyn
Michel Dervyn's "Tribu" collection of hairstyles features a versatile selection of shorter and mid-length styles that showcase a range of textures and styling techniques. While the colors may seem limited in range, they offer subtle examples of the variety available within the pale blonde color group.
From cool and neutral tones to sunny and golden hues, the colors are well-suited to the cuts and hairstyles represented. These haircuts and styles all have a modern twist, following trends toward smooth and sleek when straight, and tousled, organic waves when curly.
Short Mop-Top Style
The first selection offers a short, mop-top style with most of its bulk kept along the parietal ridge. The lower layers taper quickly to just below the ears, creating an ovoid silhouette that is perfect for narrow faces and brings focus to the eyes.
The soft, tawny blonde color is threaded with a subtle mix of lighter and darker locks. The tousled styling enhances the natural wave of the hair and showcases the highlights and lowlights to their maximum effect.
Modern Tousled Shag
This style, a modern interpretation of the classic shag cut, features thinly sliced, choppy layers that create a soft, edgy look. The pale blonde tones have a more golden hue than the previous style but still feature subtle highlight/lowlight interplay.
The styling is tousled, but with more definition in the strands to create an edgier effect. After a blow-out, use a bit of product on your fingers to add definition and sharpen the ends of the locks.
Pixie Cut for Older Ladies
Who says that playful and seductive looks are reserved for the young? This edgy, playful style is both flattering and adds a "joie de vivre" to the overall effect. The close-cropped, pixie cut is styled for volume and whimsy and is heavily textured to create a wispy feel.
The blonde here is a cooler, ash blonde with neutral highlights that add extra depth. The choppy, almost asymmetrical cut is ideal for thin hair types and allows for maximum volume.
Purdey-Inspired Haircut
As if to prove that there's truly nothing new under the sun, here we see another inspired look. This time the inspiration seems to be the late-sixties "Purdey" cut. It's a version of the pudding-bowl cut with an elongated neckline and sideburns.
The modernizing elements of this short hairstyle give us a smooth, clean silhouette thanks to some subtle razor texturing, while still maintaining the weight line along the tops of the ears. The silky-smooth styling accentuates the fine-grain threading of the color’s highlights and lowlights.
Blonde Shag
This revised "shag" haircut differs from the earlier version in that its styling is soft and smooth. The razor-cut layers fall to a diffuse, organic perimeter that elongates the face and neck. The platinum blonde color is deepened with neutral lowlights, creating a light, creamy look in the color blending.
The hair is blown out with an emphasis on maintaining low volume, keeping it smooth and contoured to follow the features.
Styling Variation
Here we revisit the Purdey-inspired haircut and smooth shag, adding subtle styling variations. The shag is shown with a slight increase in volume to create a subtly wider silhouette while maintaining the soft, curved lines of the style. This is ideal for angular, square, or rectangular face shapes.
The Purdey-inspired look also features added volume, generating a slight ballooning effect to counteract sharper, angular features. It includes an added touch of product to define the strands and emphasize the slender highlight/lowlight pattern.
Razor-Cut Layering
Again, we see the shag cut restyled to create an edgy, high-impact look. The tousled styling and defined locks emphasize the texture of the razor-cut layering and add points of light to the otherwise creamy color blending.
The style is best created with a blow-out using a firm-hold product and fingers. Once dry, apply pomade, switch the hair dryer to low heat, and redirect the tendrils as desired.
Flattering Short Haircut
To showcase a different look for the close-cropped cut for older women, we present a revised style that offers a more subdued option while remaining both vibrant and flattering. The fine-textured hair and choppy layering are displayed effectively by this casual style.
The hair is blown out with a soft-hold product and given added definition with a smoothing serum or pomade lightly dabbed on the fingers and raked through the hair. The downward direction of the fringe asks a high forehead without creating a curtain of hair.
Men's Shag Hairstyle
Not to be left out, the Tribu collection includes a classic men's shag style that is perfect for men with curly hair. The cut features a weight line that follows around the top and crown sections with even layering below, as well as long sideburns. The layers are textured using a notching technique to emphasize the individual curls.
Styling includes drying with a diffused dryer and styling mousse, followed by a spray-and-scrunch technique using alcohol-free spray gel to define the curls. The color is a darker blonde with soft highlights and added brightening at the tips of the hair on the sides and fringe areas.
Cut for Boys with Curls
This boy's cut is a circle cut that gives our little mop-top a casual style for his otherwise unruly curls. The uniform layers are textured with a notching technique and styled to maximize the natural look of the curls.
The hair color features a sun-bleached blonde effect, with a slightly darker shade at the scalp and lightening towards the ends. The hair is best styled using a diffused dryer and fingers to lightly scrunch the curls and prevent frizz.
Easy Hairstyle for Boys
This look is a restyling of the previous haircut, taking the circle-cut curls and using the blow-out technique with a round brush to reshape the curls into soft arcs for an easy style.
Most likely, a soft-hold product, such as mousse, was used to provide lightweight style hold and ensure the longevity of the style. The result is a maturing look, perfect for the young man who wants to appear more grown-up.
