This autumn hair fashion houses aredemonstrating more focus onearth shades with a contrast in avia a revival of colour block-ing. Within this addition, I will gothrough some of the hair trendsyou may be aware of and how theycould be incorporated into your current look.

Over the past 2 years hair looks have undergone along overdue revampbringing us rmly intothe 2010s which is a 60sand 80s inspired hair decade. Women no long-

er expect just a 6 weeklyhaircut and a pair ofstraightening irons to doall the work for them andare now braver and morecommitted to creatinghair styles (themselves)which range from dressyto everyday withoutsporting the same lookrain, wind or shine. As Ipredicted in 2010, big hair

and old school hair val-ues have returned withwomen digging the heat-ed rollers out of the

wardrobe and using them tocreate statement glamour which had previously beenside-lined under the excuseof practicality. The hugephenomena of dry shampoo(thanks to Batistes in-

creased pro le) has enabledwomen to go that extra dayor so without washing andinstead retain a blow -dry,roller set or nish they hadcreated previously. The iro-ny is so many people havenow found statement hair can be just as easy as every-day wash, dry and wear practicality.

Hair Trends 2012


This autumn and winter several of the key hair colour looks of 2012 will reallyignite into the mainstream. From glorious earth tones (as sported by The

Duchess of Cambridge) to Ombre fever and explosive use of pastel shadesand hues. Within the next few pages I will explain some of these trends.

Ombre

This has become a hugetrend of the past 12months and has not yetfully ignited on the highstreet (but its set

to). Ombre is spanishfor shadow and is atechnique which originat-ed in Los Angeles in the1970s. Ombre has be-come the marmite of hair colouring as people ei-ther love it or hate it(viewing the look as badroots). My view is thetrend is igniting so much

it will become a look thatde nes hair within this

decade. Traditional Om-bre demonstrates ana ect whereby the hair appears to have its own(natural) shade at the

roots and mid sectionss lowly transcending to alighter fade out on theends. In an economicdownturn the look ishighly favourable be-cause the maintenance isvery low. For personalcolouring, the look isactually your friend be-cause many of the issues

faced with clients andhair colour clashing with

personal wardrobe colour and season were due toclashing tones and tech-niques right next to theface. With Ombre the nat-

ural colour is used for 70%of the a ect , thereforethe coloured hair sitsaway from theface. When you predomi-nately displays your natu-ral colour (next to theface) an immediate har-monisation occurs whichworks with skin tone andeye colour.

The Ombre look has ignited into the main-

stream with a whole host of celebri es

spor ng the a ect to varying degrees.

The age debate comes up agreat deal with Ombre andwhen is the cut -o point for someone to avoid atrend. Firstly, the issue withe ective Ombre is it requiresquite long hair to work andminimal layering around theface. Many over 45 to 50will not desire such founda-tion styles so by default thiscolour trend would not beapplicable to them. Ombrecan (however) be worn bythose who steer toward thenatural if they have slightlylonger, unstructured her with a groomed movementand curl (think Susan Saran-don). I would advise againsttraditional Ombre (as out-lined above) but instead

adopt a technique I refer toas Over Ombre. Here thehair has the Ombre e ectapplied, but is then deep-ened slightly (on those light-ened ends) with a tone ontone colourant which is per-haps 2 shades darker thanthe natural (root and mid -length) shade. This tech-nique produces a very subtleOmbre that look as thoughthe hair is fading towardsthe ends as opposed to light-ening . Over Ombre canlook softer and unstructuredon ladies over the 45 demo-graphic who want to remaincontemporary but not ap-pear frivolous.

Dip Dye

types who use fashion redsover Ombre to produce a

ame nish to auburn hair this can look very strik-ing. Another exception isthe older dramatic cool deep(or Winter) who has verydark brunette or black hair and applies a purple or elec-tric blue (think Cher).

The dip dye trend is alsovery popular (thanks to art-ists such as Jessie J). Basical-ly Dip Dye is an Ombre foun-dation (as outlined above)with a vibrant fashion colour (such as red, purple or blue)overlaid on the ends of thehair. With dip dying there isvery limited margin for movement on the agefront. This is predominatelya youth inspired trend andits very di cult for anyoneover 35 to pull o e ective-ly. Exceptions to this arevibrant warm (autumn)

To Old For Ombre?

Over Ombre is a highly natu-

ralis c look which is perfect for

those who feel they may be a

Earth Tones are featuring wide-ly this autumn in hair trends. Earth Tones utilize ultra-natural shades such as lightbrown, burnt soft brunette,copper blonde and creamblonde to produce a dimension-al block colour. Much of thepopularity of Earth Tones hasstemmed from the Kate Mid-dleton factor. Hair trends to-day are moving away from tra-ditional highlight and lowlighte ects and toward the achieve-ment of colour which appearsuber natural and ultimately noncolour treated. For those who

are conscious of wear-ing the right wardrobecolours this spells goodnews as issues withregards to clashing hair tones and depth can beeasily addressed with-out identifying if a spe-ci c shade has been

added into a highlightor lowlight mix. Earthtones also suit all, re-gardless of age or im-age type and are partic-ularly welcome for cli-ents over 40 (dealingwith grey) as they ap-pear soft and lustrous.

Pastel Colours

age) and both pastel pink andblue will give an icey hint to veryblue eyed cool blondes who wantmore than just a block colour.

Please be aware, Im not referringto whole head pastel blue or pink(aka Mrs Slocomb from Are youBeing Served) but just simplethreads or panels throughout anotherwise very light blondeshade.

Pastels have also featured heavilyboth in summer 2012 and will con-tinue to do so into the autumn andwinter months. Firstly, pastelshades are blonde toner colours,they do not work on hair darker than a pale blonde. The use ofpastel blue and pink in subtle slicesand panels can really add incredi-ble interest to a light blonde hair-style. This type of subtle tech-nique can work e ectively on allcool light blondes (regardless of

Colour Blocking

This is a word you will start hearing a lot, but my jury is still out on how much this will ignite in the mainstream. Quiteoften hair fashion houses will introduce a trend which can either take or not. Colour blocking was pretty popular inthe late 1990s and 2000s and is the technique of applying a block bold colour to one section of the hair (usually thefront). It was popularised to some degree by Ginger Spice and was also seen (prior) in new age 1980s pop fash-ions. Firstly, it can be a tricky technique to get right as often the colours will bleed, secondly I (personally) nd itsomewhat a bold statement in a hair era that is adapting more naturalistic colour trends. I feel it will gain popularity

amongst the younger teenage market but stall at the early 20s. Colour blocking can work e ectively well on dramat-ics who wish to have a statement signature added to a bold block colour (typically a grey or red front streak on adeep, cool winter). However, it isnt something I would predict many over 25s will adopt in their hair colours.

upon style techniques rather than cut foundations.

Advising a lady to own asturdy box of heated rollersis a great tip. Whilst manyunder 35 have never owneda set of heated rollers (andare discovering their won-ders for the rst time), thoseover 40 are now kickingthemselves for putting their sets into the car boot saleboxes back in the1990s. Heated Rollers arethe little black dress of hair care and every womanshould own a set. The new-er arrivals on the market are

the jumbo rollers which aregreat for achieving a blow -dry e ect in hair without itlooking set or curly. Tradi-tional sized heated rollerswill also produce e ectivetumbling curls or work as aquick and easy foundationwhen whipping the hair up

for the evening.

Clip in Hair Wefts

dont need to be for length, theywill blend out a highly layered cutor can prevent shrinking when ajaw length cut is curled. In addi-tion, adding some clip in wefts ina slightly varying shade or tonecan produce highly e ective hair colour results without a chemicalin sight. A great piece of adviceis to purchase your wefts andthen take them to your salon at

the next visit. Your hairdresser can then a x and attach thewefts, cut them to the necessarylength and then style. After this,you can simply apply when re-quired without any additionale ort. Human hair wefts can alsobe dry cleaned (with Batiste) sothey require no frequent washingand styling. Remember, theseitems arent just for teenagers,women of all ages can bene t

from them if they are tailored tosuit their image and hair look.

What teenage girl doesnt possessa set of human hair wefts to pro-duce those wag style looks youobserve out and about of an even-ing? However, many people donot realise that human hair weftscan work for any age and hair typeto not only produce length butadd quick groomed volume anda ect. With hair trends becominghighly naturalistic (with Ombreshades and tousled texture) or glamorous and groomed (akaMad Men), owning a set of col-our matched human hair wefts canreally give an inspired short cut toa nished look. Human clip in ex-tensions (which can be found inSally stores) have tiny grip clipsalong the top of the weft thatsnap securely into the roots. Thehair can then be curled (withoutany fear of dropping) and worn for as long as required. Clip in wefts

Hair smoothing treatmentswill continue to gain popularitythis season and into 2013. Thehair smoothing technology gota bad rap in 2011 when news-papers highlighted the factthat many treatments used insalons contained high levels offormaldehyde. New legislationhas since brought all thesetreatments into line, however its worth knowing the risk offormaldehyde exposure wasto the stylists and not neces-sarily the client. Because manysalons were booked out with

these smoothing treatments em-ployees were feeling symptoms ofcontinued exposure to thefumes. Now this issue has beendealt with salon smoothing treat-ments adhere to strict codes for safety of both the client and styl-ist. Todays keratin smoothingtreatments do not feature formal-

dehyde and whilst results do notlast as long, clients are still able toexperience up to 6 weeks of verysmooth manageable hair. Thesetreatments are great for those whohave wiry, thick, unruly tresses or those who have found grey and

white hair has transformed the overallfeel. The keratin smoothing treatments

ll the hair with protein which changesits texture and makes it smoother andeasier to deal with. The brand Organixhas a home version which gives good re-sults, just be aware you need to use ahigh quality iron such as GHD or CloudNine to obtain the best e ects when ap-

plying this treatment at home. This isbecause the ceramic or quality plates cre-ate a smoother nish to the hair withoutrequiring excessive prolonged heat expo-sure by continually having to iron thesame section during application.

Understanding Texture

Hair texture is often the root of many peoples hair issues. The ability to change this texture creates a foundation inthe hair which not only makes styles look presentable but also enables easy day to day management without risk offrizzing, opping or unruly bulk. Some points: -

Keratin Smoothing treatments create a silky and manageable foundation in dry, unruly or frizzy hair.

Best results are achieved with salon service, but home kits such as Organix do o er an alternative.

Using good quality dryers and heated appliances will reduce damage to the hair texture.

Those with very curly hair could consider having a perm on larger rods to add control and direction to the natu-ral curls and create a wash and wear a ect.

Organix is a 30 day smoothing

treatment availablein Boots and other

stores.

Perming

Before you say what! I dont mean 1980s inspiredscrunchy perms these are well and truly a thing of thepast. However, the demand for 1960s inspired sethair has brought about a necessity for woman toachieve a control foundation in their hair. Prior to VidalSassoon doing a photo shoot in the very late 1960swhere he left a perm wet, nobody ever had a perma-nent wave (in the hair) without setting it on rollers af-ter each wash. Perms were ultimately created to ena-ble women to retain a style without opping. It wasunheard of the perm would be left in its wet state for all to see. However in the 1970s the wash and wearperm became popular and today (40 years later) every-ones perceptions of perms are just this. In fact, a ma-jor issue now exists within home hair styling becausewomen are nding the big curls and volume they seekjust isnt holding in.

changing and more training and edu-cation is set to appear as we go into2013. If you feel you need a perm ,go to a salon with an older clienteleas ironically these old fashionedsalons have exceptional ability withperming as they have continued us-ing the technology these past 20years. Remember, these perms are afoundation so as long as this founda-

tion is put into place well you shouldreap the bene ts through the wear and tear of the styles you implementyourselves after washing. A goodtip is to always ensure you wind hair on standard or heated rollers for the

rst few weeks after a perm, this willenable the hair to be worn and man-aged easily. Once a perm relaxes andis around a month old the wash andwear (tousled e ect) look can bedeployed, but ultimately todays

perms are for style support and foun-dation. And to enable big hair andcurl styles to remain without op-ping.

For this reason perming the hair (as a foundation base) has startedto regain popularity. Many young-er people just arent aware thiscan be done and if the hair is ingood condition the results of thefoundation can be exceptional andhard wearing. Some factors youshould all be aware of: - rstly,those who have high amounts of

bleach in their hair should notperm as the hair quality will bedamaged. Whole head perm foun-dations are not great on shorter hair, as the blow -dry nish canlook crash helmet like, ideally aperm foundation should only beused on longer hair which cannothold curl. However, shorter or bob length hair can bene t fromhaving maybe six perm rods ap-plied to the crown only, this givesa great lift and style hold to justthis area. There is currently a bigissue of lack of hairdressers whoare able to perm, but this is slowly

Setting hair which has a permfoundation on rollers is a

great way to achieve volumeand style control.

the foundation of a perm in thehair (especially at the crown ar-ea) will produce height and stylecontrol without risk of dropping.Use of high volume and body asbasis for sixties inspired looksworks particularly well on longer hair types as sported by CherylCole. Ladies over 50 can incorpo-rate crown volume and generalbody (especially in bob lengthcuts), however over 50s shouldbe aware of adding too muchbody to shorter cuts as it canappear somewhat old fashionedand aging. A great 1960s in-spired look for the over 50 lady is

the short el n bob (as sportedfamously by Frankie Sandford ofthe Saturdays), this look wasoriginally made famous by sixtiessingers such as Cilla Black and theheavy fringe and side shapingcoupled with the short gradua-tion at the back leading to vol-ume at the crown is a fantasticstyle for women in their 50s and60s who want to look gracefulyet contemporary. This particu-

lar cut also works incredibly wellwith shimmering earth tone andnaturalistic colour a ects.

Sixties inspired looks have real-ly taken hold these past fewyears and autumn and winter 2012 will see a full explosion ofthe trend resurgence on thehigh street. Emphasis (as pre-viously stated) is very muchnow in the camp of glamour and women of all ages will beadapting haircut foundationsto accommodate varying looksfrom casual hair up to full cas-cading curls. In previous yearshair up had been seen strictlyas the function look but moreand more women are discover-ing home techniques to dressthe hair from simple day to dayor evening. Height at thecrown area will continue toplay an important part in alllooks with the general fashiontrend no longer incorporating

atness at the top areas of thehead (as seen with the phe-nomena of straightening in theprevious decade). Items suchas Bump Its and crown in-serts quickly and easily give

height and volume without thenecessity for heavy backcomb-ing. As previously mentioned,
