Make surethe ends of your hair are hidden bytucking them in the twist and securingAnna Sui. This look is so simple butedgy and sexy! The key to this look isthat hair should be done but in an un-done way!”Glossy locksAward-winning hairdresser, NeilBarton predicts the return of big andbold blow dry’s – “it’s all about volumeand bounce.” Neil recommends toweldrying the hair, then preparing the hairby applying blow dry enhancing cream.“You’ll need to section the hair,” saysNeil, “and blow dry it using a roundbrush to get extra lift at the roots.”Next, add large rollers to add evenmore body and set with hairspray. Neilexplains that this look is all aboutlooking groomed. “It’s a highmaintenance look so be prepared to putin the work!” he says. Next up is the vintage 1940s wave - atimeless classic, this look is sosophisticated. Think Hollywood screensirens like Veronica Lake or modern daypin-ups like Lana del Ray.

This style worksbest with a side parting and, allowingthe hair to gently fall over one eye canadd a subtly seductive edge to thelook. For an easier to maintain look, whynot go for the Californian surfer girllook with gently tousled curls. Simplyspritz the hair with sea salt spray andallow the hair to dry naturally,scrunching with your hands to achievethe relaxed waves. This looksparticularly great with blonde hair andthe top shades this season are pastelcolours. “There is a fantastic range oftoners available that will give you atinge of pastel colour,” says Neil, “Thisseason it’s all about subtle blue, pinkor apricot tones.”For short hair, the key look thisseason is the Mod Bob, based on theclassic 1960s cut, but with a moderntextured finish. Neil recommendsasking your hairdresser to cut your hairto chin length and says you can getthe look at home by backcombing thehair on the crown ‘to create theBrigitte Bardot style volume andheight’. Part the hair to one side, holdin place with hair spray and secure thehair with a cute clip. You can addtexture to the lengths with wax. Neilrecommends regular trips to thehairdresser, “Ideally every 6 weeks tokeep your style looking sharp andprecise.”All about the colour!So, you’ve found a style to suit you,but what about your hair colour? Thiscan say a lot about you and yourpersonality. Karen Brown, co-owner ofaward-winning hair salon Hair by JFK,told us “This season, the hottest hairtrend is colour - in every conceivableshade, the brighter, the better! The likesof Katy Perry and Kelly Osbourne havebeen turning heads with bold blue andpurple shades and this look is perfectfor those wanting a break from thenorm. Katy’s block colour hair reallybrings out her eyes and suits her funand quirky personality. It’s a realstatement look, and it does require acertain amount of confidence if you’rethinking of taking the plunge as it’ssure to get you noticed.For those who don’t want to commitTHE MOD BOB BY NEIL BARTONto a full head of colour, the dip dyeends trend is the perfect solution. Takeinspiration from the likes of Jessie Jand add flashes of vivid colour to thetips. Or go for a more toned-down looklike Caroline Flack and add a lightershade of your natural colour to thetips.For a more subtle look, embrace thepastel shades trend – ash, violet andpink are the most popular tones andlook great on blonde hair.
