The Artisan Craft by INDOLA – Creative HEAD Magazine

This multi-dimensional blonde look from INDOLA is a harmonious combination of soft cut with rough styling to elevate a natural wave

For the A/W22 street style collection, INDOLA has introduced two new desirable looks to be inspired by this winter. If you’re working with long hair, ‘The Artisan Craft’ look offers an opportunity to bring in a range of styling elements to upgrade your average wave with cool, icy tones.

Featuring delicate pastel blonde hues, this on-trend colour is finished with soft, razor cut, layered lengths, as well as microbraids and rough fishtail details.
