As a team, it is crucial that we’re always one step ahead when it comes to forecasting trends in the hair and fashion world. Working closely with designers at fashion week plays an important part but inspiration also comes from the world around us. For example, the Netflix series ‘Wednesday’ is giving us some iconic fashion moments and one of them is the skinny fringe the actress Jenna Ortega is rocking. ‘Emily in Paris’ has also updated her fringe to a wispy style in the latest series. This style works well with long hair but equally, you can combine it with a long bob. The flicked-out lob is going to be popular as we come out of Winter. It should be long enough to sit just on your nape and then flick.
For colour, the full-head ice-white blonde is back thanks to ‘The House of Dragon’. Known as Targaryen blonde, this super icy blonde is so white it sparkles in the light. It’s a strong look and needs regular salon maintenance. If you are looking for something a little lower maintenance then a deep, rich mocha brown is for you. Hailey Beiber and Lily James are currently showing off these chocolate tones. This technique is perfect for clients that have previously had lighter pieces through the ends that want to feel more on trend for winter.

Q&A
- I’ve begun to notice more split ends appearing. Is there anything I can do to seal these or do they need to be cut off?
In short; they need to be cut off. Once the hair has begun to split, the best way to avoid further damage is to cut above the split. This is one reason why hairdressers recommend 6-8 week appointments so that the damage doesn’t travel up the hair shaft. Prevention is better though, so make sure you use heat protection products and apply regular moisture treatments or masks to minimise damage. Cutting your hair will not make it grow faster, that is an urban myth. It will, however, cut off your split ends which could stop your hair from growing. If you don’t trim your split ends, they will eventually break your hair, making it shorter. Keeping your hair trimmed will prevent this from happening and result in happier, healthier hair.
- I received a scalp brush in a Secret Santa and no idea what to do with it. Can you advise?
Yes, a scalp brush is a great addition to your haircare routine. It can improve hair growth, stimulate the scalp, promote circulation, reduce tension, strengthen hair, improve mood, help make products more effective, reduce tension and improve the nervous system. Using the brush does not only provide a scalp massage but can also increase the thickness of hair and reduce stress. Plus it works on all hair types and is easy to use. Make sure there are no tangles in your hair before stepping into the shower. Once the shampoo has been massaged into the scalp, take the brush and massage in soft, small circular movements. Remove the brush and shampoo the remaining length of the hair. You can use the brush to comb out any knots before rinsing and applying your conditioner.
