PFor everyday life, you need wearable and quick hairstyles, both in case of long, medium or short hair. «Every hair style tells something about the person who wears it: it is not just an aesthetic choice, but a real style language that dialogues with the shape of the face, with the personality and with the way you want to present yourself to the world,” he explains Giusi Cacciatorehair director Mandarin Oriental and Four Seasons Milan. «Looking at the latest red carpets, you can identify very different hairstyles, but they all share a strong identity». Here are the ideas suggested to the expert.
Simple hairstyles for short hair: micro bobs
“The micro bob hedgehog of Zendaya represents one of the most interesting examples of how naturalness can become pure elegance. The length just below the ear and the side parting create a perfect balance between structure and movement, enhancing the cheekbones and leaving the gaze completely free», says Giusi Cacciatore.
«It is a cut that works particularly well on heart-shaped, triangular or oval faces, because the lateral volume rebalances the proportions of the face. Styling can also transform it easily – that’s it lightly gather the curls on one side with a jewel clip. to obtain a sophisticated semi-updo, perfect for an elegant evening. It is a look that belongs to a modern, confident and refined personality, to those who love to stand out without sacrificing naturalness.”
The micro bob voluminous curl of Julia Garner instead, play everything on the energy of the hedgehog. «Here the cut is constructed to leave freedom to the natural texture of the hair, creating a full and three-dimensional shape that frames the face with great character».
«The volume on the sides makes this look particularly suitable for oval or slightly elongated faces, because it softens their verticality. Even the hairstyle can become very fashionable: defining the curls with a light effect wet, and by bringing the front locks backwards you obtain a contemporary result with a strong visual impact. It is ideal for creative, artistic and unconventional personalities.”
Very different, but equally iconic, is the cut of the new Oscar winner Jessie Buckley. «Short, clean, almost minimalist, it is a look that puts the facial features in the foreground. The fringe is essential because it softens the cut and frames the look. It especially enhances small, oval faces or faces with delicate features.”
«Even in this case, styling can completely change the effect: working with a modeling paste you get a pixie textured which maintains the elegance of the cut but makes it more contemporary, androgynous. It is a look that belongs to very self-confident, minimalist and sophisticated personalities.”
Simple hairstyles for medium hair
“The bob asymmetrical of Cate Blanchett it demonstrates how a well-studied cut can transform the balance of the face. Shorter at the back and slightly longer at the front, it creates an elegant line that slims the neck and enhances the profile. This structure is perfect for oval or slightly elongated faces because it balances their proportions”, explains Giusi Cacciatore.
«This cut shows all its versatility even in hairstyles: a soft low chignon with the front locks left free creates an extremely refined look. It is a cut that speaks of timeless elegance, ideal for sophisticated personalities who are confident in their style.
«The wavy bob with fringe Kris Jenner instead it represents a more dynamic and modern version of the classic short cut. The waves soften the line and the fringe frames the face, visually shortening the length of the face, making this cut particularly suitable for oval or rectangular faces. By wearing your hair on one side with soft waves you can obtain a very elegant hairstyle, capable of giving volume and movement. It is the type of look that adapts well to a strong and charismatic personality, to those who love an elegant image but with character.”
Much more graphic it is, instead, the Japanese bob with central parting Lily Collins. «This cut stands out for the precision of its lines and its geometric structure, which creates an extremely sophisticated effect. The central parting accentuates the symmetry of the face and highlights the features, which is why it works particularly well on oval or heart-shaped faces with regular features.”
Even a simple tall half updo can transform it completely. «A little one half bun in the upper part it creates an interesting contrast between the discipline of the cut and the softness of the hairstyle. It is perfect for elegant, modern personalities who pay great attention to aesthetic detail.”
Simple hairstyles for long hair
«A high voluminous ponytail, leaving waves on the lengths, immediately creates a red carpet effect, as they often do Jennifer Lopez or Nicole Kidman. It is the ideal style for sunny, dynamic and glamorous personalities. This type of look suits oval or heart-shaped faces particularly well and can easily be transformed into a sophisticated hairstyle.”
«Soft waves held in place by clips, hairpins or accessories, style Margot Robbie, they evoke a more romantic femininity. This look is very versatile and works well on different face types, especially oval or slightly rounded ones.”
Or again: «A soft side braid, left deliberately imperfect to maintain the movement of the waves, becomes an elegant and very feminine hairstyle. It is a style that belongs to refined and romantic personalities.”
«This type of look is particularly suitable for oval or slightly elongated faces and can be easily transformed with a high half updo that leaves the fringe free to frame the face. It is a fresh and glamorous style, perfect for young, romantic personalities who are very attentive to trends.”
