Supermarket by Carol Bruguera

"Supermarket" is a collection whose name is ironic in that the hairstyles appear far from the type one would expect in such a mundane and domestic setting.

Some of the styles are up-styles, while others simply employ texture and styling techniques to create vertical emphasis. From classically elegant to edgy and wild, these styles offer elements to appeal to almost everyone.

Partial Up-Style

This partial up-style takes long, layered straight hair and draws the top and side sections back to the crown of the head. The gathering is loose, and the top is back-combed to build height in the style. Secure the hair at the center of the crown and allow the ends to fall down the neck.

Prepare the hair by using hair washed the day before or by drying freshly washed hair, often applying styling gel. Once dry, mist the hair with hairspray and brush through it once it is fully dry. Doing this will make the hair easier to style.

Partial Updo

Another partial up-style is shown here, bringing forward elegant styling with a romantic emphasis. Starting with day-old hair, the sides are directed to the top and crown and sculpted into large, soft curls that are cleanly delineated without being rigid.

The down portion of the style is placed asymmetrically, lending an extra sense of romance as it trails over one shoulder. Finish the look using hairspray to control frizz and flyaway strands.

Edgy Look

Long hairstyle with braided rows on the sides

The third hairstyle in this collection highlights an edgy look suited to those who want an attention-grabbing style without being overly complicated. The base cut of this style is layered, with increasing lengths in the nape area.

Visual interest is introduced on the sides, as the hair in these sections is segmented and braided into short rows in seemingly geometric patterns. This makes a dramatic contrast to the textured layers in the top and crown. The hair is styled with a sculpting paste to create structure. Blow-dry the hair for maximum lift at the scalp, and use pomade to control frizz and flyaway strands.
