All About HAIR The Versatile Yara: A Wig Design That Brings Mother and Daughter Together By: Young Writer, Courtney Diggs W ig designers of today not only incor- porate current trends into their wig de- signs, but also trends of the past. One legendary hairstylist in specific, whose expertise has been used when constructing wigs, is Vidal Sassoon. Sassoon experimented with hair cuttery for years and soon came to create his own landmark in the hair industry: angled cutting. Sassoon went be- yond the traditional way of doing hair during his time and created a trend that is still prevalently seen in hair today. A line of wigs named “Yara” recently hit shelves in stores and the beauty of the hair was stunning. The synthetic is straight as a pin needle with the length of a long bob. It it cut precisely at a declining angle on both sides of the wig, creating a high-low effect on the hair. This type of haircut perfectly displays the work of Vidal Sassoon with his geometric cuts. This characteris- tic, though, is not the only one that shines through in the Yara wig line. Millennials have created the trend of looking as naturally fake as possible. The hypocrit- ical trend sounds impossible to create, but the Yara line defied the odds.
