Special effects are not just for movies. The Zentralverband des Deutschen Friseurhandwerks has included a few of them in their collection. Variable, convertible hairstyles are designed with the busy lifestyles of modern women and men in mind, where one look is just not enough.
Each hairstyle, whether short or long, has interesting facets waiting to be discovered. A common trait is the soft and rounded character of the shapes, warm hair colors, and technically perfect haircuts. Undercuts and texture are used to create great structure. One technique, in particular, is noteworthy for making a comeback: the perm!
Very Short Garçon Haircut
Celebrities discovered short haircuts a while ago, and now more and more courageous women are sporting a well-coiffed garçon look. Despite the minimal length, these cuts are surprisingly feminine and have a sensuality all their own. Extreme short haircuts draw attention to the face, and that is their secret.
Wispy Short Pixie Cut
You might have guessed that there is another aspect to this adorable short haircut! Here it is, restyled with a big punch of feistiness infused into every strand.
Instead of being flattened and slicked up with smoothing and texturizing products, the very short hair is now fluffy and full-bodied, with uprising ends and wispy styling. The fine layers of the pixie cut are now visible, and the intricate balance of light and dark hair colors reaches its full potential.
Clipper-Cut Sides
Postmodernism at its finest. This hairstyle could not be more eccentric and fun, with its architectural design. Short hair close to the scalp, cut with fine precision, is topped first by a burst of soft spikes, which then extend to a long and sleek layer of shiny beauty.
The diagonal bangs extend in a large curve to the upper part of the cheekbone. The mix of a short clipper-cut undercut and the long section of this women's haircut is full of sizzle, which is greatly intensified by the fiery copper and orange color.
Messy Styling for Short Hair
With the geometry removed and more softness added to the look, the undercut avant-garde hairstyle becomes soft but with dynamic movement. Many gentle curves will sweep her off her feet and keep her at the top of the trend charts.
The hair is first directed to the front, and then the fringe moves to the side in a casual, slightly messy manner. Darker colors underneath make the lighter top vibrate and also increase the dimension.
Brunette Bob
Hair fashion would not be the same without the short bob. For decades, this classic has beautified countless women all over the world and continues to do so in ever-new and exciting forms with innovative details.
This brunette bob, with edgy sophistication, is graduated and slightly layered to keep the volume under control and the shape close to the head. The longer front gently caresses the chin and provides a great outline for the face.
Very Short with Curls
Girls want to have fun; that’s a fact, even before Cyndi Lauper brought it to everyone's attention. Inspired by the fashion-forward 80s, this very short, top-heavy hairstyle is a throwback to that era. Heavy in terms of attention but light when it comes to the hair, as these curls are as light as feathers.
Intense coiling produces well-defined curls that fall nonchalantly into the face in a large asymmetrical bang. The sides and back take a more modest position, keeping the focus on top. The color is a smooth cocoa with a snazzy hint of purple.
Perm for Red Hair
The perm may not have been on the trendsetters' "in" list in recent years, but it has survived and returns with new vigor and techniques.
A gentler treatment and new techniques turn flat, medium-length hair into a curly mane of sheer delight that will last and last. The copper pride and joy is layered for optimal volume distribution. A long fringe adds seductiveness and allows for various styling options.
Blown Out Sleek
A perm does not mean you have to wear your hair in curls every day. With a good round brush and blow dryer, it can be styled into a light and sleek look. With the bangs lifted and turned back, a very classy and stunning shoulder-length hairstyle emerges.
Manly Cut with Texture
Fashion haircuts for men can be quite unconventional and extreme. This sexy short cut, however, opts for a classic approach spiced up with modern texture. The sides are clipped millimeter short, smoothly increasing in length towards the top.
Individual strands are accentuated with a touch of styling product, which looks especially good in the short bangs. The cut is very dapper and precise, while the styling can be as wild as he desires.
Clipper-Cut Men's Hair
Geometry has found its way into male hair fashion, calling for some extreme styles. This short and long haircut is the work of a genius, as it is one of the most versatile hairstyles for men.
He can transition from an extreme textured bang look to a dapper dandy, as shown in the next image. The hair is clipper-cut short all around, with long top hair serving as the base for various styles.
Clipper-Cut Sides
In this version, he uses the longer top hair to great effect by styling it into a retro quiff. All smooth and slick hair sits above the clipper-cut sides, with decent volume and a fine surface texture throughout.
Paired with a nice shirt and vest, this is a real heartbreaker! The top hair can be boosted with even more volume for a more intense look.
Long Fringe with Attitude
This fringe has character and doesn’t like to be controlled. Curved to the side with determination, it shows off its cool texture and ensures everyone knows he is a man of taste and fashion sense.
The hair is longer on top and also has a bit more length on the sides than the popular retro cuts. The outline is impeccable, and the possible styling options are endless. With dark brown hair and matching eyes, he will be hard to ignore.
Soft and Fluid Styling
A new approach to men’s hair styling is much softer than in recent years. An important aspect is still the longer top hair and impressive bangs.
Here, the hair was treated with a sculpting product that offers flexible hold, so it remains in its diagonal line across the forehead and stays pliable. More texture was created by styling some of the back hair towards the front, with movement and separation of strands.
