Go ‘bronde’
As we head out of the cooler months, darker blonde shades are trending once again. The great news is this sweet spot between light and dark, dubbed “bronde”, suits just about everyone! Transition to richer, warmer brown tones, such as caramel, honey or chestnut, to add warmth and dimension to hair. Keep your colour looking fresh by investing in good-quality, anti-fade formulas.

Making waves
Soft waves are still a popular choice. Although it looks great with any hair length, this style works particularly well with shorter ’dos. Opt for a shoulder-length cut and ask your stylist for subtle layers to add movement and texture. This clever cut, combined with a volumising shampoo as well as conditioner, will enhance the softness of the style. Keep waves loose by following that with a wide-toothed comb.

Short & sweet
From lobs (long bobs) to short and sharp blunt-cut variations, the humble bob is here to stay. To really rock the look, incorporate some lowlights to add dimension, which can then make your hair appear thicker and fuller. For an extra-chic, shiny look, style your mane with the help of a dry shampoo, and then use volumising spray to bring life to even the limpest of locks.

Switch it up with a side part
Many celebs are swapping out their trusty middle parts for side ones, across both up and down ’dos. The edgy yet sophisticated style expertly draws attention to the eyes and cheekbones, while minimising the width of the forehead. Be sure to have a hairspray as well as gloss serum handy to keep your parting in place, plus to tame any flyaways.
