SUB CULTURE
This look is part of a collection featuring ‘real boys’, capturing their individual style. The idea was to
create something raw, street cast, and uber modern, with a nod to British sub culture. To create the cut,
I sectioned out the top into a high horse shoe and started clippering sides and back following the head
shape but, most importantly, leaving out the hair line at the perimeter. Hair on top was blow dried
straight up and cut using scissor-over-comb to create squareness. For the colour, after discussing ideas
with our National Colour Director, Clayde Baumann, we lifted all the model’s black tone out with
pre-lightener then Wella Colour Creates was applied randomly in blocks at the root to give effect.

THE MULLET REVIVAL
The mullet is definitely making a return, although it’s a more stylish version of the 1980s look. The mullet I
created for this image, was achieved by putting a modern twist on the classic style, maintaining more
length at the back and sides of the hair, with a disconnected top section. The hair was cut using a razor to
keep the style very soft and textured, blending the two separate lengths. I styled the hair using salt spray,
and naturally air dried it using only my hands in a scrunching motion to add plenty of natural-looking
texture. I then applied a light-hold wax to give some separation to the ends. This gave the impression of a
more current look, which is extremely on-trend this year.
