As we all know, this season’s hair is about working
with what you were born
with. As mine has got
movement and texture, I am right on trend – albeit with a little work.
“We will finally
get rid of your layers and keep it all one length, except for a side-sweeping
fringe,” said hair supremo, Michael Charalambous. “Block cutting your hair will
make it easier to manage and help keep the frizz at bay. Simple hair always
looks chic and expensive.”
And, I couldn’t
agree more. My hair is so much easier to style as the weight holds it down. even
though it has been cut at the ends to maximise movement.
The key to keeping
it looking good is to keep it well-conditioned. You don’t always have to spend
a fortune on products for good results. The Dove hair therapy is a superb
range. I am a fan of the Nourishing Oil Care Express Treatment Conditioner (£3.39)
and the 60 second treatment shot (£1.49).

When it comes to
fighting frizz, especially if you are going on holiday, one of the many hair
oils on the market is a must. If you are not sure which one is right for you,
ask your hairdresser.
I have recently
tried Liz Earle’s new Botanical Shine Nourishing Hair Oil (£15) which helps to
smooth the hair and tame those frizzes.
The great thing
about one length hair is that you also have plenty of style options. Wear it up, down, straight or curly or with a
slight bend in the ends, which creates a contemporary look. “Hair is the mirror
of the economy,” says Michael. “When times are tough women want to be able to style
it themselves, they don’t want to be running up huge bills at the
hairdressers.”
If you fancy a
bit of 1980s-inspired glamour and want to turn up the volume, after you
have blow-dried your hair, Michael recommends putting in some Velcro rollers,
or sponge ones if you want to ensure that you don’t damage your hair, for a few
hours and then running your hands through your hair to avoid the set look. “It
makes your hair appear thicker, creates movement and it is a style that is easy
to do yourself.”
