Most of us these days wear our hair the way we want, or, at least, in a style that works with the texture we have. Keeping abreast of the trends and making a tweak here or there makes you look contemporary.
For this coming season get ready to turn the clock back. We
saw a lot of ends rolled under last season and this looks set to continue. If
you have hair, like mine, that continually wants to kick out, you will be
pleased to know that flicks are in.
Blunt cuts feature strongly. For those with fine hair, this
is a blessing as you should find it easier to manage.
“Hair is very soft for spring and summer with the odd kink
and wave appearing here and there,” says hair guru Michael Charalambous. (His
salon Nyumba by Michael Charalambous is the place to go for the best haircut
you can get.)
“Fringes will also be heavier this season. You will also see
them with a slight bend,” he adds.
Michael points out as glasses get bigger and sleeves wider,
hair is not overtly groomed. “Don’t worry if your hair kinks, you are on
trend,” he points out.
As for length this season, Michael advocates mid-length,
just above your shoulder.
If your hair is prone to frizz, Michael cautions against
using oil. “It can actually worsen the
condition as it may make the
disulphide bonds in the hair stronger which means that it will revert back to its natural state of
being curly,” he says. He advises using creams.
While hair should not be styled with too much product, here
are a couple that should be your go-to ones. Kérastase Nectar Thermique
(£22.90), is one of my favourite products that helps to protect the hair from
heat damage as well as nourishing it and giving it a lovely shine.
For those with damaged, brittle locks, Kérastase Ciment
Thermique Resurfacing strengthening blow dry milk (£22.90), helps protect and
strengthen as well as promoting shine. It is ideal for coloured hair. You only
need a little. Michael’s tip is the shorter and finer the hair the less product
you should be using.
For bad hair days, I for one, am happy to see the scrunchie
is still around this season. Velvet or silk, it is a chic way to tie hair back.
