The term 'Pride' evokes specific images when associated with hair, bringing to mind bold and full styles reminiscent of a lion's mane. It also suggests an attitude of confidence and dominance, reflecting in these clear-cut and cleanly-defined hairstyles.
The hair colors remain natural and neutral, ranging from nutty browns to flaxen blondes, asserting themselves with unmistakable aggression.
Long Wavy Hairstyle
This long, wavy style is defined by the sharp, clean turns and curves of the hair, crafting a silken sculpture. The pecan-brown color is rich and lustrous, yet not overpowering, imparting a soft, subtle glow to the hair.
The styling is likely achieved using traditional methods, either finger-waving or wrapping over full tools, and drying carefully to maintain the smooth finish of the hair.
Silken Curls
Here we have another sinewy style, characterized by meticulously carved and maintained silken curls.
The hair color, a chestnut brown with a high-gloss finish, is likely achieved using a wet set with slightly overloaded tools. These are air-dried and gently dressed to loosen any tightness without compromising the curl altogether.
The result is a glamorous look that exudes both sultriness and sophistication
Long Spiraling Curls
Superlong tresses are often considered the epitome of femininity. However, for women who must tame these dramatically long locks daily, the luxurious look may feel more like a chore than it's worth. Nevertheless, one cannot deny the striking appearance of long, spiraling curls cascading forward across the chest of any woman.
Indeed, it's a look that's worth at least a little envy. The long coils are likely crafted using large tools in a wet set, then dried and styled using the fingers to gently draw out the curls and create the loose, spiraling fall.
Partial Up-Style
The other benefit of luxuriantly long hair is the sheer volume and dramatic up-styles that can be achieved with a practiced hand. Shown here is a partial up-style that draws hair from the top and side sections into a smooth, full sweep to the crown, allowing the remaining hair to cascade from the peak in tight, sausage-roll coils.
This style typically begins with carefully curled hair, initially back-combed or ruffled with a brush to create volume in the upper sections, while the exterior is smoothed for a soft finish. The curls of the 'fall' (the loose hair) may originate from the initial roller set or be reshaped or created entirely after the up-style portion of the look is completed.
