In their hairstyles collection for fall and winter 2005/2006, the HOB artistic team delves into the future while firmly rooted in the past. Romance and nostalgia are redefined and tangible in every strand of hair. Noble looks come in sleek and textured structures with a no-frills attitude, offering asymmetrical, curly, and sleek styles.
Crafted for seductive warrioresses, the expressive short haircuts are a thrilling mix of controlled form using geometry as a guideline, combined with the softness and warmth of feathery texture. Two longer looks express femininity and a refined sense of the exquisite.
Feathered Round Haircut
Density and feathery tips converge in a short, geometrical cut framing her face with a radiant platinum blonde glow. Bluntness and fine texture merge for a powerful look with a soft edge and a definite seduction factor. The hair is short enough to pair with high collars or, as seen here, a magnificent satin bow around the neck.
To introduce subtle asymmetry, the shape was subtly shifted, and a long, delicate strand was pulled across her face above one eye. A perfect balance in shape and form renders this modern hairstyle an instant classic.
Short with a Purple Dip
Round is beautiful, but when coupled with a striking asymmetrical dip on one side, it becomes truly stunning. The playful flair of one side contrasts the controlled geometry on the other, creating a captivating effect, especially with the bright and gorgeous purple dye.
The long flow of the fresh, floral hair color begins at the onset of her deep side part, which is echoed in fine strands throughout the black base color. The sparkle and shine are further enhanced with a gloss product.
Nostalgic Upstyle
Inspired by hairstyles of noble women from past centuries, this look holds its own even in the modern world. A dressy braid was crafted by twirling thick strands and incorporating more hair into the wreath as it encircles her crown. The remaining hair was brushed until it was silky smooth and supple, then folded under and pinned.
Adding to its allure is a stunning color effect. Only her top hair boasts the rich brown hue, while the underneath is a deep and dark black.
Colors and Curls
Sleek, slim, feminine, and elegant - this short haircut doesn't mess around. The precision of the cut is softened by a choppy texture along the steep angle of the diagonal fringe. Modern chic is enhanced with subtle highlights, dispersed throughout the brown hair but concentrated more prominently in the front.
The foundational shape of this hairstyle is a bob, offering versatility as it can be styled to frame the face or pushed back for a different look.
