Descriptive Imagery; Connotations of 'Smart' and 'Wild'

When I think of  'Smart' hair my mind always flits to Audrey Hepburn playing Holly Golightly in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. That cigarette holder, the long black dress and that beehive all just ooze sophistication. I believe that truly smart hairstyles are timeless classics we can come back to again and again across the decades... They do not age or date; they are simply sleek and elegant. I have chosen this image of a beehive as I like the way it frames the face at the front, softening the overall look and adding a modern twist to a style which is so reminiscent of days gone by... In a time when people made a constant effort with their appearance and always looked "done".

Conversely, when I think of 'Wild' hair my mind drifts off to those long, lazy days spent on golden sands when cares about image are far from my mind and my hair just runs free. I think the interesting thing about beach hair is that it works well in a variety of settings. We often see those loose, relaxed waves on celebrities at red carpet events but I don't think you'd catch many people on a beach with a beehive! This style, to me, is wild because it's so effortless... It's untamed, unrefined but still manages to be beautiful!
