Bright autumn days shone for members of the hair and beauty industries: HAARE 2008 enthused participants, visitors, and companies alike at the booths of this trade show.
The proof is in the numbers. More than 18,000 visitors attended the NürnbergMesse from October 19th to the 21st, marking an increase of more than 20 percent compared to the 2004 show. A highlight of the event was the combination of the German and Bavarian Hair Championship.
HAARE 2008 offered an outstanding mix of shows, competitions, workshops, and information. ‘The perfect basis for its success,’ says Andreas Popp, President of the German Association of Hairdressers, ZV.
One of the highlights of the hair show, the competitions, showcased an amazing amount of professionalism and talent. The German and Bavarian championships, featuring more than 140 competitors, were a magnet for visitors. ‘The level of accomplishments was impressive,’ said Popp. ‘The participants showed extraordinary creativity in the areas of hairstyles and makeup. It was a grand celebration for the young elite of the profession.’
Curly Updo
Bouncy curls, combined with long, free-spirited tendrils, are transformed into a head-turning updo. Long hair is curled and then pinned on top of the head in a deliberately messy and random fashion.
Long tendrils are pulled out in front to add even more movement. The sides are soft and straight. Mousse and hairspray are essential. It’s a great look for that special night out, for events, and celebrations.
Youthful Hairstyle
Like fire and ice. A clever combination of colors in hair and makeup creates a balanced, modern, sophisticated, and youthful style. This chin-length bob received special treatment with a longer, fringy nape.
The low side part enhances the flow of red color over the head and on the sides. The silhouette is almost perfectly round and smooth, with short, sassy bangs providing a delightful contrast.
Updo with Loosely Piled Hair
This princess is not lost and will not be forgotten. A delightful mass of dark hair is loosely piled on top of the head and pinned down in large waves and irregular curls. The very sleek bangs offer a fine contrast to the intentionally disarranged top.
Some thinner and more robust tendrils adorn the sides and the back, adding more interest and movement to this urban fairy-tale updo.
Asymmetrical Curls
Seduce with flowing curls! A sassy updo featuring an opulent mass of curls cascading down on one side. The hair is gathered together and loosely pinned on top of the head, arranged asymmetrically to allow for a full flow to one side.
A couple of open tendrils keep the balance on the opposite side. The long bangs are blended with the rest of the hair, framing the face with finesse. Apply spray and arrange the locks with your fingers.
Short Bangs for Men
A great look from the office to the party or the game. A classic short men’s cut was updated with a slightly longer nape, narrow and short sideburns, short bangs, and lots of texture. The hair was layered with longer lengths on the crown and in the neck.
This versatile haircut can be styled with some gel or wax and just your ten fingers alone. It can look professional during the day and turn spiky and wild at night.
Very Light Blonde Hair
Bangs like fragile icicles form a thin veil that covers the eyes and makes this snow princess irresistible and mysterious. A short layered haircut in a very light blonde is combed towards the face in a criss-crossed fashion, with the extra-long bangs adding to the allure of this not-so-icy blonde. The cut is versatile and can be worn with many different styles.
Timeless Hairstyle
A familiar and timeless look that fits every occasion and environment. However, this blunt bob comes with new and fashionable details like the high side part and tapered sidelines. The allure of this style lies in its coloring – golden blonde and light blonde highlights skillfully applied to a dark blonde background.
Sleek Bangs and Curls
Delightful curls and full bangs are the key elements to this sexy and fun style for long hair. In contrast to the straight and sleek fringe area and tapered, face-framing sides, this hairstyle features tons of large, frolicking curls with the utmost shine and movement.
The hair on the sides and back is left slightly unkempt for a more casual look.
Small and Large Curls
Happy and elegant with a head full of curls. A bundle of small, curled long hair is pinned up from one side and the back to create a partial upstyle with an asymmetrical, almost triangular shape.
A narrow front portion, including the fringe, is generously waved and has some large curls towards the ends. Long layers enhance the bounce and volume of this style.
Extravagant Short Cut
A nod to the space age and sci-fi. An extravagant haircut with mixed textures showcases one of the most interesting silhouettes of the season. The hair was cut in a round line across the forehead, leaving extra-short bangs and very pointed sideburns.
The exact line runs farther above the ears and ends in a pointed, longer nape. The balancing contrast to the straight lines comes from the ruffled chops on top and at the back of the head. Gel and spray hold it all together and up.
Versatile Short Haircut
Alluring, practical, and so very unique. A versatile cut that flatters all women who decide to go short. It embodies all the fashion elements of the season: textured asymmetrical lines, a high partition, volume above the ears, small sideburns, lots of shine, and an intense hair color. The deep berry tone gets a surprising lift with a splash of copper in front.
Gamine Glamour
Tomboy meets Diva. This flattering short hairstyle catches your eye at first glance, and even more so at the second look. The shortest hairs are at the neck, forming a nice round silhouette.
On top, the longer strands appear to be anchored at the crown and styled diagonally across the head, flowing down the sides and forming fine fringes around the face.
Young Hairstyle
Young sophistication with a modified bob. The classic line with a 60s-inspired long and full fringe gets a youthful makeover with textured cutting lines at the bottom. The cool blonde reminds one of a late summer day with its soft shine and the wheat-colored strands and platinum highlights. The hair is styled with a flat iron, and the ends are lightly turned outward.
Very Short Haircut
Touchable eye-catcher with finesse and versatility. Very short hair on the crown makes room for longer strands with highly textured ends. The bangs are full and just touch the eyebrows with their textured tips.
The real surprise, however, is the color. Underneath the vanilla blonde, we catch glimpses of luscious raspberry peeking through in the bangs and on the sides.
Fashion Bob Hairstyle
Victoria Beckham brought the bob back into fashion focus. Skilled stylists now take it to another level and incorporate new and surprising elements. Here, we see the classic contour, smoothly layered in the lower quarter and lengthening abruptly towards the front. The front strands are of equal length and are accentuated with splashes of color.
Two in One Hairstyle
A mix of elements brought to the max. Daring fashionistas combine long and short in the most consistent style. A true and full bob in warm browns with blonde highlights is styled to a wonderfully rounded shape. It crowns a fan of straight-cut, over-shoulder length, super sleek hair in shiny ebony.
