Hair Fashion Spring Summer 10
Zentralverbandes des Deutschen Friseurhandwerks
More than a fashion trend, these hairstyles are not just chic but possess a timeless modernity.
True values are back in demand, including in fashion. The collection of hairstyles exemplifies this development. Classics and cult styles like the bob or the mushroom cut, the long curly mane, or even the retro charm of 1940s movie divas stand as strongholds against the fleeting trends of our times. The design makes them highly fashionable and hard to miss. Thanks to innovative cutting, coloring, and styling techniques, they are as current as possible.
Mushroom Cut Revival
It's back. Arriving with a big nod to the 60s and modernized styling, the famous mushroom haircut is once again gracing the heads of fashion fans. The Beatles and their contemporaries left us with music that never dies, as well as a style that still makes us swing. Modern versions are softer, with more movement and new textures, and the effect of color cannot be underestimated.
This adorable blonde mushroom cut follows the line of her face, right above the eyes, slightly curved over her cheekbones, and covering one quarter of her ear. Check out the next image for a side view to learn more about this fabulous look for short hair.
Sleek Mushroom Cut - Side View
The dominant fringe gives this short haircut its unmistakable character, and the typical shape of the classic mushroom cut comes almost naturally with a skilled undercut. This technique makes the hair curve along the cutting line.
The back is graduated for a narrow and snug fit before turning fuller and rounded. A few strands are styled from the back forward, adding beautiful and subtle texture on top of the sleek base.
Lifted Hair
As stunning as the mushroom cut looks in its sleek and straight styling, one of its greatest characteristics is its versatility. No one wants to look the same every day, and you might be surprised by the options.
Replace the classic beatnik chic with a funky, sassy spiked look by applying some mousse to the short hair and lifting the top up and the sides softly back. Volume is key for this styling, and with a little wax, individual strands can be accentuated and shaped however you like.
High and Low
This styling option makes the partition the star of the short hairstyle. It is long and sharp, with a corner that separates two distinct parts of the hair. The lower portion is combed close to the head with extreme sleekness, while the top is lifted high and angled for a dramatic effect.
The tips are gently curved, perfecting this stunning mix of punk, avant-garde, and classic elegance. The fine transition of the hair accentuates the movement and shape with slightly darker and lighter sections. The shine is brilliant.
Short Wispy Bob
What would the world be without the bob? Much more bland when it comes to fashion, that's for sure. This particular bob shows its flirtatious side with light, long, and wispy styling. A very long side part allows the bangs to be wide, and with a gentle curve, they flow ideally across the face. Just a hint of retro adds a lot of flair.
But that's not all. A well-designed pattern of dark coffee and lighter caramel tones makes the swirls even more pronounced, and with state-of-the-art highlighting, the movement and depth of style are unparalleled. Flirty, light, and high on the trend meter!
Bob with Curved Tips
The pink dress is adorable, but it looks even prettier with the right haircut that doesn’t hide its cute collar and the large bow on her shoulder. The chin-length bob has the perfect length to showcase her outfit while framing her face with a modernized, classic look that has stood the test of time and is one of the most flattering hairstyles around.
Straight for most of its length, it displays alluring shine and a beautiful pattern created with warm highlights on a dark brown base. The tips are gently curved, giving this look a contagiously happy and free movement.
Shoulder-Length Curly Hair
We often want to change our hair length but don’t want to wait for months for it to grow naturally. This quick transformation from a chin-length bob to a shoulder-length curly hairstyle is achieved with modern hair extensions attached to the natural hair.
No one can tell the difference! The elegance of the short bob remains, but now with a more sultry and opulent appeal.
Elegant Styling for a Bob
Once again at chin length, the flirtatious bob has undergone another makeover, now boasting more volume, especially on top. The extra lift at the roots is easy to achieve but has a huge effect on the character of the hairstyle. The effect is now very elegant and ladylike, with a pampered and flawless feel.
Bob with Layers and Curls
The right cut makes the shape. With plenty of layers in the lower part, this medium-long bob gets its enticing trapezoid shape. The widest section is at ear level, and all that bounce and thrilling volume come naturally with the curls, which are most intense at the tips.
A center part opens up to the long bangs, flung out to the sides like silky wings, all enhanced by a subtle transition of hair colors with toffee highlights on a medium brown base.
Big Hair Asymmetrical
We haven’t seen this kind of volume since the "big hair" trend of the 1980s. Asymmetry was a huge trend then and is back today. Combining both, you get this opulent look with a trendy edge. The layered bob is styled to one side, concentrating all its seductive mass in one place.
The pattern features well-defined large rolling waves and smaller, disheveled ripples. Teasing and a good hairspray contribute to the triangular shape that seems to reach right into hair fashion heaven.
Soft Volume
Angelic and soft with volume that seems to defy the laws of nature—this short hairstyle stands out with its exquisite shape, unique texture, high fashion appeal, and wearability. The hair is cut in layers that give it a triangular shape when styled upward like this.
The shorter hair in the back and the longer top section are curled and waved for sheer delight and high-rising volume. This playfulness is extremely attractive and feminine, with a hint of retro, making it very trendy.
Art Deco
Geometry meets soft waves in this hairstyle, shaped into a rounded triangle that dazzles with its unusual beauty. The 1930s and 40s were the era of the unforgettable Art Deco style that followed the more floral Art Nouveau.
This hairstyle would fit right into the artistic theme of those days and still pleases today in an exotic, artistic way. The remarkable wave pattern is shaped with a curling iron, with gentle teasing at the roots providing lift and hold, while additional teasing inside the hair and along the tips adds volume and alluring "messy" texture.
Very Long Hair with Curls
Very long, lavish, and luxurious—this is the kind of hair many women aim for. The magic of the mane continues to cast its powerful spell, and with modern care and styling products, it has become easier to achieve this stunning look.
Layers throughout vary in length and are created using a slicing technique, adding more texture, a soft natural feel, and a lot of movement to the hair. Her curls come naturally but are enhanced with a subtle play of hair colors, alternating from cappuccino brown to honey accents.
Easy Updo
At first glance, this hairstyle might not look like an updo, but rather a very fluffy, wavy bob. However, it is, in fact, the long mane from the previous image, tucked under in the back and invisibly fastened with bobby pins.
You can also use a more decorative barrette as an accessory. The combination of control and open flow, with so many wonderful curls and a few free-flying strands, is absolutely irresistible. Easy to do and just stunning!
Upstyle with Mixed Textures
It’s the contrast of textures that makes this hairstyle unforgettable. A straight and shiny band of hair is draped around the head from both sides of the center part to the back, where it is rolled in and invisibly pinned. The rest of the gorgeous hair is piled up high in all its curly glory and delightful unruliness.
Strict and liberated textures in one style elevate the admiration of all viewers. Spiced up with individually accentuated strands, which can be shaped as edgy as you like, the look takes on a beautiful avant-garde turn.
Twirled and Twisted
A look of passion and finesse makes a grand entrance at every gathering. This asymmetrical upstyle seems to exude the exciting sounds of the tango or flamenco all by itself. With the right hairstyle, the attitude follows, setting off a chain reaction. So beware of what you wish for, but if you dare, go for this expressive look.
Easy-to-Style Men's Haircut
Texture, texture, texture is the mantra for haircuts that turn ordinary men into irresistibly attractive guys who make women weak at the knees with their rebellious look and boyish charm. This awesome short cut for men is easy to style on a day-to-day basis.
The sides are kept short with a neat outline, while the back is graduated and smooth. All of the action is on top, where different lengths create a fun and flexible texture. Spiked up with a few drops of gel, a modern punk look with more style than bite is born.
Smothered in Waves
A bit more product and some smooth moves with the comb let him go from rebel to good boy in just minutes—at least on the outside. The dapper short style features well-defined waves that ripple from the back of the crown all the way down into his forehead, where they fizzle out into fine blonde curls. The sides are slicked back to keep all the focus on the cool pattern on top.
Clubbing in Style
Disco never dies; it just evolves. As long as there is music, people will dance and indulge in the beautiful vanities of outrageous fashion. For this cool club style, his hair is not just spiked up but also curled for a refined yet undone look.
Snug around the perimeter, the top part is where all the fun is. Soft at the tips but strong in expression, with a few highlights to underline the fashion statement, he is ready to strut his stuff until the sun rises again.
Preppy Old School Look
No storm or rain will keep him from looking sharp. The fine waves, with their subtle hint of vintage style, will keep their shape thanks to the good styling products used and a medium-wide comb.
The resulting look is a bit preppy, a bit playful, and also old-school charming. Men are daring to be well-coiffed again, and the basic cut with its short sides, shorter back, and long top hair offers great flexibility for a wide variety of styling.
Modern Mushroom Cut
Trendy celebrities already have it, and the word is spreading. The mushroom haircut is back. Paul McCartney wore it well when the Beatles came to fame, but the reborn version of the round bowl cut is much lighter and has more movement than the styles of the past.
Ask Ashton Kutcher about the compliments he's getting since he cut his hair in this trend. A few layers keep things light, and the texture adds motion and a tousled appeal. In this side view image, the hair is styled forward to shape the thick bangs that draw us right into his baby-blue eyes.
60s Hairstyle for Men
60s hairstyles are en vogue for women and now also for men, with this softened and lightened reincarnation of the famous mushroom cut. A lot of texture in the tips takes away the stiffness of the old days, and while it still retains its signature shape, there is much more movement in the hair now.
The top volume is key and is easily achieved by directing the hair from the back to the front. This strong flow in one direction also eliminates the need for a part.
Preppy Moments
Every men's haircut should have a preppy styling option. How else would you style your hair to match trendy outfits and patterns? The tousled effect seen in previous pictures transforms into thick curls that are both controlled and a bit wild.
All with a touch of understatement, as that is an important aspect of all preppy looks. The volume is styled high on his crown, and the fringe is pulled down on his forehead, with a few rough strands adding a wonderful rebellious touch.
All About the Fringe
Curls are dashing, but the straight look has its merits as well. For example, it shows off the hair's texture like no other style. It also highlights the details of the men's haircut with its angled sides, long layers, and a balanced transition across the crown to a long fringe.
Fashionable Men's Hairstyle
Mushroom or bowl cuts are better than ever. Lots and lots of texture lighten the load and sweep away the dust of decades. The new classics are full of motion and sizzling styling. Creativity makes him the hero of the day, especially when it comes to his hair.
A simple shift in direction and overlapping of these layers in front is an easy and stylish way to instantly modernize any haircut. His hair color reflects the color of his eyes and features very subtle highlights applied in patches rather than thin strands.
Shift in One Direction
Not every day is a day for bangs. Help comes quickly from a tube, sprayer, or jar. Modern styling products provide great hold and shape without looking greasy or sticky. For this hairstyle, a part is drawn far to the side so that the entire crown can be shifted to one side.
The smaller side is then slicked back, out of sight, to allow the rest of the slightly waved hair to do its wild dance full of volume and movement, with just a tiny bit of restraint still present.
View from the Top
His hair looks blown to perfection by a very fashion-minded wind. Looking at it from the top reveals more of the magic and how the cool asymmetrical volume was achieved. Thick, textured, and separated strands run across the top of his head from right to left (or vice versa, depending on your hair and preferences).
The tips on the dominant side are turned upward, interrupting the smooth flow with their wispy rebellion. The smooth highlights deepen the dimension of the strands immensely.
Straight Hairstyle for Men
Straight lines, jagged points, steep angles, and layered sections are just a few style elements of this collage of techniques and textures. With all their contradictions, they blend harmoniously and surprise us with a very interesting hairstyle for men who are not too shy to wear a style that makes them the center of attention.
The very base of this look is a round cut, also known as the mushroom cut, which is filled with a ton of good texture for many amazing styling options.
