VOG Coiffure AW 09-10

 
Though the collection itself is small, consisting of only three looks at this point, the impact is nevertheless BIG. The styles are all extremely different but share common threads. Apart from the fact that they are all built on blonde canvases, the styles show their own ideas of romance.
 
Despite representing three different textures and wave patterns, each can be called “soft.” Overall, the collection makes up in interest what it lacks in numbers.
 

Very Short Layered Haircut

 
While this is a very short, layered look, it isn’t your mother’s gamine cut. Its razor-cut layering features dramatic contrasts between the lengths on top and the tapered short lengths on the sides. The layers are choppy and create long, thick tendrils that layer across the scalp, offering subtle plays of color and visual interest by creating patterns in the finely highlighted strands.
 
To craft this look, start with normal to coarsely textured hair with very little wave. Use a sculpting paste on towel-dried hair to add structure and definition without a stiff appearance, then blow dry the hair to avoid the “wet look.” Direct the airflow upwards for lift at the scalp to add fullness, and once dried, use a small amount of sculpting paste or pomade to add more definition and finalize the placement of the style.
 

Glamour Girl

 
This long hairstyle features minimal layering, and the layering that is in place is very controlled. The overall impression is sophisticated and sleek, with a glamour girl quality. The style has an almost vintage feel. Styling is likely achieved through a roller set.
 
Combining setting lotion with damp hair wrapped on large rollers and dried gently under a hooded or bonnet dryer allows the hair to be brushed out into satiny smooth waves. The side part gives the style an asymmetrical slant, making it a great look for those who want to draw focus away from prominent features.
 

Curls Standing Out

 
This long hairstyle departs from the others in that its layers are the center of attention and are emphasized in the style. The tawny blonde is given depth with streaks of gold that make the curls stand out.
 
Achieving this style typically involves using hot rollers or Velcro rollers, warmed with a small amount of product and allowed to cool and dry fully. Once cooled, comb out the hair using fingers for a tousled, just-ravished, seductive look. If the curls become too diffuse, a light mist of hairspray can be used to gently scrunch the hair and redefine the curls.
