Michael Gordon’s Boy Look – 1984

This Boy Look was softened, feminized, with newsy short bangs, chopped up. “There must be softness with short hair,” said Michael Gordon, then owner/founder of Bumble and bumble. He felt “this chewed up bang action, evocative of Audrey Hepburn, was provocative in an Eighties boy-girl way.” A special formula intensifier was added to the hair to add polish and gloss – just like a black cat’s glossy coat!

Another romantic feeling from La Coupe New York – in 1987. A gamine short soft look for those with curly hair. And it could be worn today. From the Boudoir Hair Collection.
La Coupe introduced The New Curl and Kim Lepine, International Design Director, predicted: “The New Direction is small heads, closer to the head, with soft “V” backs.” For much more (close-up, sideview, backview and tutorials) go to HairThen, 80s Hair, Boudoir Hair on www.helenoppenheim.com
