Metro Chic by Richard Ward
Metro Chic, Richard's inspired collection, shot in Milan with award-winning Italian photographer Daniele Cipriani, encapsulates his signature look of contemporary, couture hair.
Richard says, "Metrochic epitomises a fusion of classic yet modern; sharp cuts, clean lines, tailored styling and minimalist background giving the collection a metropolitan, androgynous edge."
Spirals and Round Curls
We cannot help but notice the captivating color of this taffy beige blonde hair, elegantly combed away from the model's face with an array of spirals and round curls cascading down her back. Lighter brown slices run throughout her long hair, complementing the warm beige hue. Achieve this look with a spiral curling iron and a touch of gloss.
Short Curly Hair
The charm of this short curly hairstyle is heightened by the golden beige coloring. The hair is cut in short layers all over the head, making it an easy-to-manage option for short hair enthusiasts. It's a perfect look for those times when you prefer your hair not to touch your clothes. Achieve this style by using a curl activator and applying gloss after your perm.
Extravagant Updo
This extravagant updo, with all hair styled away from the face, is enhanced by the inclusion of individually blonde sections intertwined with various swirls of curls, completing this stunning style. To achieve this look, use freezing gel, spray, and gloss.
Cascading Spiral Curls
With just a hint of strawberry, this long blonde hairstyle is layered, with spiral curls cascading below the shoulders, creating an innocent disarray of curls circling about the head. Achieve this look with a spiral iron and curl activator for long-lasting effects after the perm.
Exposed Ears & Hair Bow
Crafted with meticulous perfection, the ebony-colored hairstyle showcases creativity with its short blunt cut, elegantly exposing her ears, complemented by the addition of a hair bow adorning one side of her head. The bow adds a fun touch to short hair! Achieve this hairstyle with the assistance of gel and gloss.
Smooth Short Hair
Like the sharp lines of an arctic glacier, pointing and jagged, so it is with the isolated smoothness of this beautiful short hairstyle. Not a single cuticle dares to stand up. Edged up in the back, the sides fall from the part into a longer length. Gel, smoothing cream, and gloss will enhance this image.
Super Long Hair
The magnificence of super long hair, filled with scrumptious layers that fall below the model's shoulders, is ablaze with blonde and caramel slices, while remaining smooth on the top and forming fluffy billows winding down to the ends. Achieve this look with texturing cream and gloss.
Chopped Straight Hair
Beautiful browns with golden threads of hair adorn this hairstyle, characterized by texturized, chopped straight lines. Each hair is carefully combed down to showcase the colors and sculptural aspects of the short hairstyle. It's not too short, with hair covering the neckline. Employing a heavy technique and using gel or lotion can enhance this image.
