Furry by BIBA Creative Team
Drama. Impact. Edge. These are the key elements of the collection by the BIBA Creative Team Australia called "Furry."
The collection of hairstyles mimics various textures and finishes of "fur" found in the animal kingdom. Since our own hair is a genetic precursor to fur, the comparison is fitting.
Razor-Cut Bob
This razor-cut, stacked bob features an elongated fringe. The pale blonde hair is dual-toned, with a dark blonde layer in the interior and at the nape.
The ends are steeply textured to create a wispy, soft frill along the perimeter. The hair is styled forward to achieve a gentle sweep, reminiscent of the look of long-haired, soft and cuddly animals.
Dramatic Pixie Cut
Pale, platinum blonde sets the color palette for this elongated pixie cut. The layers are shaped with a razor, and the ends are deeply textured to create soft, structured locks.
With dual styling—smooth on the sides, crown, and back, and a dramatic mane standing upright on top—the look contrasts the finishes of each technique.
The slick, straight sides and back transition to a riot of structure and texture as the hair stands out. The dramatic effect also has an equine quality.
Creative Fringe
This two-textured style combines sleek, hard-edged sections with fluffed-out, fuzzy sides and back. The warm, toasted cinnamon color provides a rich medium for this sculpted look.
The basic bob cut is enhanced with beveled layering around the sides and back. The fringe is creatively cut into a peak above the bridge of the nose, with inverse points at the corners of the face.
The ends are razor-textured, and the styling adds maximum volume to the sides. The result is a haircut reminiscent of the shaggy, leonine mane of many great cats.
High-Volume Bob
This bob features a horizontal-cut fringe and minimal texturing. The styling is key to the look, with high volume and a tight, wavy pattern.
This effect can be achieved by scrunching to enhance natural waves or using braiding or crimping tools. The look resembles the shaggy, wavy texture of many textile wools harvested from animals.
Two-Stage Hairstyle
This platinum-hued two-stage style features a cleanly shaped undercut that follows a traditional perimeter around the head. The horizontal fringe and the hair's edges around the ears and nape follow a curved line.
The surface layers are kept longer and textured with a razor to create a see-through veil over the neatly lined edges below. Styled straight and sleek, the hair forms the look of spiny quills, creating a dramatic effect that draws attention.
Idiosyncratic Look
The final look in the "Furry" collection features an intense hairstyle with a shorter forward and side portion and dramatic length along the nape, styled into a high-volume, wavy-textured shawl.
The top portion is sleek and smooth with a gently curved fringe and tapered edges on the sides to frame the face. Overall, the look is idiosyncratic, offering versatility and playfulness.
