Inspired by Greek mythology and a journey into the underworld, Tracy Hughes, the hair educator, created The Stygian Collection, of which this is just one look which she says delves into a dark and bidden abyss. Photographed in black and white, a balanced pile up on either side of a mid part on top of the model’s head is a look that is futuristic and fresh.

Multiple Magic by Ezel – 2012

WorldGreat Ezel was famous in the ’80s with Vogue cover after cover working on the heads of the world’s top models for all the major magazines. He is still a force, as can be seen in this 2012 photo, which he called Multiple Magic.

The photographer, Harry Fellows, shattered glass and shot into the glass. A great idea.  “When I saw the multiple image in the camera, I realized making the hair really big would have most impact,” said Ezel. So the hair was swept sexily to one side, and dressed big with the help of Sachajuan Styling Gel and Super Strong Hairspray. (Ezel is now International Editorial Director at Sachajuan) For more on Ezel then and now, editorials, a video click here:

HighHair 1980
Crimped Updo
Sassooning for Evening

For dreamy nights out, this cloud-like HighHair vision by Avram, Vidal Sassoon, NY
was pure romance.

There is no teasing  A rat or soft, lightweight form is pinned inside the crimped hair
on the heavier side to give that flattering, pretty height.

Here’s how to do this look.  Part hair ear to ear.  Side part front hair.
Comb back hair down.  Leaving out 1″ of hair all around hairline, wave rest for
cloud-like effect by reversing curling iron for each wave – (or use a crimping machine.)
Pin in form, p lace waved hair back and up, like a French Twist, secure with pins.
Then wave and pull back the 1″ of front hair to lay over the twists on both sides.
Tuck ends in with a tail comb.  Sweep up hair at the back, hide ends under twists
with pins.
