Last night we celebrated the 25th annual Critics’ Choice Awards with the stunning Lupita Nyong’o, up for ‘Best Actress’ in Us! The Hollywood starlet stunned on the red carpet with a glamorous hairstyle by celebrity stylist Vernon François for Matrix.

This is a collection that celebrates the beauty of black women going out on the town. Each of the looks utilizes cutting, styling and dressing techniques together with a variety of natural and created textures on curly and Afro hair for a range of glamorous, chic and sexy evening looks.

Strong and determined, ambitious and enterprising woman with a contemporary pop style. Unstructured waves are contrasted with very short fringes, dishevelled bobs and sensual curls. Color take in a wide spectrum from refined chestnuts to energized tropical shades.

The Chameleon has the ability to change to suit the environment – to hide or to become visible. In the same way the Chameleon person changes their look, behaviour and attitude to suit a changing mood or situation.

Junior Green wanted to create a timeless collection that demonstrates the versatility of Afro hair. The collection is a combination of hair that is wearable, yet wouldn’t look out of place in a glossy fashion magazine.

Lidia Patrizia from Blue Tit London unveils her latest collection: Afro Punk. “This collection took inspiration from the street styles we see across Blue Tit’s salons,” explains Lidia. “I wanted the shoot to be raw, using the beautiful braiding and model’s character to portray strength and creativity.”

Harry Casey's Afro collection for Jamie Stevens encapsulates the strength and energy of textured hair. There is a styling magic in embracing texture that can take it to truly geometric heights.

Color Pow is the latest personal collection by Janell Geason, Aveda Global Artistic Director, Makeup. “The looks were inspired by 1970s psychedelic funk bands, as well as the model’s own playful personality. We wanted to create something strong, colorful and fun!” says Janell.

Refined, yet audacious combinations and techniques that create perfect harmony between color and style. Northern Irish hair artist, Julian Dalrymple, brings beauty to life in its purest forms.

There are two sides to every story. Two faces. Two words for everything. Two souls in one, two hearts into one heart. And you know, when it comes to hairstyling... two heads are better than one!
