With the weather in the UK unfolding, it’s no surprise that Winter has arrived. With summer and autumn cut short, we are already seeing a lot of beautiful darker hues, new styles and clients transitional to their new looks for the new season.
Traditionally we look at darker tones being a trend within itself, but this year it’s all about warmth, texture and statement additions to styles.
Rich & Warmth
This year we are looking towards colours which give an essence of warmth whilst relating to the transitional winter season. Across the board, colour palettes traditionally deepen, and this will be the case again, with much more golden and rich tones added throughout to give that much need warmth! Our vivid reds transition to deep auburns, golden balayage’s blend into chestnut browns and bold apricots develop into golden coppers.
Textured & Tousled
Hair is kept simple with a little oomph, giving it a real sexy feel. Soft waves and undone curls will represent a beautiful yet undone relaxed style. Working with a large barrel tong, tong the hair and pin to cool. Once cool, brush out and leave hair with a beautiful, tousled feel. For additional texture, add a sea salt spray to give a little creative touch.
Bangs are Back!
They are always loved, but bangs are back and here to stay, and I am so excited about this. Curtain bangs will be the top choice for clients, who want to add something a little bit more to their look, without a huge maintenance required. The curtains bangs can grow out naturally, blending into the side face framing panels.
