Glossy brunettes,
Now, this is a verified trend, and not just me coping with the loss of my copper hair colour, I swear. Brunette in all of its shades continue to reign supreme in salons around the globe, with the emphasis on multi-tone colour that reflects light naturally for an effortlessly luxurious finish.
It’s glossy, it’s rich, and it’s much easier to maintain at home than foiled blondes and vibrants!
My personal favourite colour maintainers, for ongoing compliments are:
The bob, softened
The question we’ve all battled with, to chop, or not to chop? There’s kind of an option in between. The bobs we’re seeing now are a far departure from sharp lines of seasons past, with the focus now being movement and uncomplicated styling.
Ella Bright, of Off Campus fame (don’t lie, you binged it too), popularised a strong flip with a tonne of bounce and body, Margot Robbie was recently spotted with a blunt cut, but with a messy waved texture, and Zendaya is favouring a natural, curly bixie – your options are truly endless.
Ultimately, there’s always going to be a bob-variant on one of these lists, so you might as well go ahead and choose one that works well for your hair texture, hair type, and lifestyle, scratch the itch.
Baby bangs, stay with me
Call it nostalgia, rebellion, or a pendulum swing back to statement-glam, the baby bang has smashed the door open and is here to stay.
I hear you, what actually is a baby bang and why would I retire my wispy curtain bangs for it? A baby bang is typically cut five to eight centimetres above the brow, with the texture giving it “more specific personality.” Baby bangs can be blunt, wispy, choppy, piecey, or a combination of any and all—whatever works with your face shape, and potentially more importantly, your hair texture.
They’re a statement, not at all effortless, but SO fun. Worn with fuller, healthier cuts, the micro fringe feels modern rather than severe, bringing just enough drama without overwhelming the face.
The trick to styling is to set them in their shape with multiple clips while wet, and then gently diffusing. You can also hit them with a matching baby straightener if you like a sleeker look.
Long, just really, really long
Celebrity and editorial hair stylists are convinced ultralong, and ‘underestyled’ hair is having a major moment, and that the masses are leaning into lower maintenance, effortless tresses. The trick here is maintaining hair health, of course. Add an excess of hydration to your routine as we head into summer, and book yourself regular trims (you can book one of our stylists here), focussing on keeping the ends clean, and any layers as subtle as possible, for the illusion of extra extra length.
