We all know the power of the right outfit to make us feel attractive, strong, and invincible. The right haircut can do the same, and these power cuts, interpreted by JeanLuc Paris, are just what the hair doctor ordered. Sleek like heavy satin, geometric in shape, and boldly colored, these impressive looks capture the essence of the modern woman.
Confidence, passion, and determination are the basic expressions, leaving room for spontaneity and surprise. Asymmetry, angles, and extended lengths also join the party. Hair colors range from rusty copper to deep brown, red to fabulous blonde, all with an iridescent, almost metallic shine full of glamorous intensity. Each hairstyle comes with alternate styling suggestions to ensure that boredom will never be a word in your dictionary.
Noble Rust
Copper and a deep rusty color come together for a sizzling medley of metallic beauty. The sharp angles accentuate the softness of her face and are as stylish as can be. A straight fringe, cut as if with a laser, connects at a 90-degree angle with the sides, which are just a couple of inches longer and equally straight.
A bit of extremely fine layering allows a smooth curve to develop all around, softening the harshness of the lines and points. The hair color is applied in a marbled pattern that scintillates and captivates. With one targeted swipe, the strict short haircut transforms into an appealing tousled look of refined asymmetry and texture.
Straight and Strong
The finesse lies in the details: the slender, tiny sideburns, the gentle angle of the fringe, and the sleek, shiny surface with its play of various tones of brown. A metallic sheen accompanies the geometric shape reminiscent of vintage mushroom cuts.
The short avant-garde haircut is radically transformed with a bit of product and some finger styling. The hair can be pulled against the grain to one side and ruffled up in the back to create a lot of movement and texture. Who doesn't like a transformation this quick and thorough?
Ruby Red Attitude
The red hair color is so intense that it stands out on its own without requiring much alteration in the cut. The smooth, neck-length round cut achieves just that. Simplicity in this collection comes with a flashy side and a fine artistry that allows for alternate styling options.
A stunning effect is achieved with thin, gossamer-fine, longer sections that break up the uniformity of the line. A change in the direction of the hair channels the power of nature with a windswept styling. Passion is this hairstyle's middle name, made clear and blindingly beautiful with the fiery sensation of the soulful color.
Fab Fringe
This is what a fringe truly wants to be: smooth, subtle, flexible, and full of style. This brilliant stroke of bangs has a lot going on and is the key element that makes this short haircut so special. A semi-transparent center is cut to eye-length and flanked by two longer sections, one even longer than the other, curved into the face in a stylish arc.
This look also allows for changes in styling, gaining a different flavor with every direction the hair is guided. A smoky blonde with platinum accents is mellow but not without sharpness.
