Hairdreams introduced its new More than a Dream line of professional hair extensions, a trend collection of bold, creative hairstyles.
Avant-garde stylist Lorenzo Marchelle collaborated with Hairdreams to dream up five visionary hair styles. The More than a Dream collection consists of five distinctive looks in provocative colors and styles: “Peach Fuzz Breeze”, “Color Blocked Bob”, “Funky Mullet", “Bowl Cut Mullet", and "Blonde Butterfly".
Lorenzo Marchelle is one of the most creative and innovative stylists in Europe and is also the creative director of the Attilio Artistic Team. He was awarded the coveted Visionary Award in the "Avant-garde" category at the Alternative Hair Show in 2022 in addition to being voted Italy’s "Hairdresser of the Year'' twice.
His salon in Turin is considered one of the destinations for fashion-conscious Italians.
"I love working with Hairdreams extensions. They allow me to make my dream hairstyles (and those of my clients) a reality. Hairdreams offers the best hair quality and the most beautiful colors in the extension world. One of my favorites is the new, gorgeous color "Copper Peach'', which we used in our new collection!”
— Lorenzo Marchelle, Stylist and Creative Director of the Attilio Artistic Team
The five looks of the More than a Dream collection are based on different themes and hairstyle ideas to encourage stylists to work more creatively with extensions and serve as an inspiration for more innovative hairstyles.

Inspired by the fashions of the 20’s and 30’s, as well as the 2024 Pantone Color of the Year "Peach Fuzz", this look has been reinterpreted with Hairdreams Quikkies Tape-ins in the new Hairdreams color "Copper Peach (75)". The peach-colored curls bring out a warm look full of shine. The interplay of volume and color accents lends expression and strength. The defined curls can be gently styled to create beautiful wild waves.

The bob is one of the most classic hairstyles. Hairdreams Quikkies Tape-ins in "Black (00)" provide additional volume, while the look is refreshed with a chemical-free color accent in "Silver Blonde (59)". The asymmetry created in the lengths ensures a defined look.

It doesn't get much trendier than the 80’s inspired mullet combined with bold color accents to create an eye-catching, contemporary look. With Hairdreams Quikkies Tape-ins in "Turquoise", a colorful detail is created to extend the cut and color line.

The precisely rounded fringe, also known as a bowl cut, is making a comeback. In this look, the front is in perfect contrast to the longer effects in the back. This cut, with its natural play of colors, lends sophistication and exudes style. An optical wet effect also demonstrates the versatility of the look. Lorenzo used Hairdreams Quikkies in "Ruby", "Platinum Grey (60)", and "Silver Blonde (59)" for this dramatic style.

Volume pure — these naturally cascading waves create an irresistible look. This classic hair extension look is accentuated by a perfected butterfly cut and curtain bangs. Blonde Hairdreams Quikkies Tape-ins with Root Shadow effect (color "59 08A RS-S") create a radiant, shiny look. Enhancing this style with a playful braid gives the look a charming lightness.
