Modern vs Chic

Modern vs Chic

So one of our first hair assignments was to go and research images of hairstyles we thought were modern, and hairstyles we thought were chic. The idea behind this is that everyone has completely different perceptions of each of these, so I thought I'd share a few of my ideas for these.

Modern

When I think of modern hair, I think of loose, natural hair. Whenever we look back at period hairstyles it was always tied back, restrained or quite heavily styled. Nowadays, women are happy to run some product through their hair and just let it fall naturally. Its an "effortless" look that has become so popular, there are hundreds of hair products and techniques designed specifically for creating the "beachy wave" effect. 

Chic

Hair that is Chic, is hair that is elegantly styled, timeless and classic. It suits the face perfectly and always looks pulled together, but not necessarily perfect. It could be a style that could be inspired by a particular era or icon, but has a modern twist to it, so it does not look dated.
