Head under the sea with the Lure collection, a group of images from New Zealand hairdresser Ann Marie Young of Jingles Hair Design. The collection was nominated for the title of New Zealand Hairdresser of the Year at the Australian Hair Industry Awards (Creative) 2022.
The versatile collection highlights various colours, shapes and intricate details to exemplify its nautical theme, as inspired by mermaids. The hair looks and fashion styling evoke sea-style elements such as kelp, scales, coral and netting, with the beauty and hair hues elevating these looks to their editorial best.
“My collection is inspired by mermaids who are elusive, powerful, seductive and a little dark. I have worked with different shapes in the hair, contrasting wet and dry textures and used several creative techniques,” Ann said online. “The mermaid of my collection is alluring and enigmatic. My colour palette evokes the underworld of the sea. I have used blues, green and brown with pops of vibrant pink and lavender to mirror the shades of seaweed anemones and coral. I have also explored different colouring techniques to give the hair dimension, inspired by the reflective patterns of fish scales and the rippling visual caustics, caused by light rays filtering through the water.”
Ever ethereal, join the mermaids with Lure.
