Shake up
your style
It’s a new decade, so why not enjoy a new ’do!’ Our
resident expert Janice Auton encourages you to
switch up your style and ease your hair woes…
Hi Janice, I’ve had the same hairstyle
for more than 20 years – centre parting,
straight, shoulder-length bob. I’m bored but
scared of change. Help!
By simply moving your parting slightly
off centre you will be amazed how much
your look can change. If that’s not quite
enough, your lifestyle, work and how much
time you are prepared to spend on styling
is paramount, so ask your friends who
their favourite stylist is and visit a few for
a consultation. When you meet the right
hairdresser, you will feel confident in them
and ready to change.
I’m growing out my fringe and it’s driving
me crazy! I get to a certain stage and have it
cut back in again because I can’t bear it. Any
tips on how to persevere?
If it’s a full fringe have it angled to the side
which will allow it to grow more softly.
Flicked back bangs are a favourite look
this year and ideal for growing out fringes.
Simply blow dry away from your face. You
could also try a padded headband to keep
your hair out of your eyes.
PARIS TIARA BY
OLIVIER LAUDUS, £110
I’m getting married in the summer and
really fancy a tiara. What’s the best way to
style my hair?
Tiaras are a classic hair accessory. From full
updos to half updos, from classic chignons
to tousled curls – all styles work well with
a tiara. Choose to wear one on its own or
with a veil. Of course, you must choose the
correct style of tiara to go with your hair, so
make sure you discuss this with your stylist
before you purchase one. Another thing
to remember is that the finer your hair, the
lighter your tiara should be. Luckily, we have
fabulous hair wefts that can be bought and
colour matched from hair suppliers such
as Additional Lengths in Stockton to add
thickness and length.
Is there anything I can do or take to make
my hair grow quicker and longer, or is the
length of your hair genetic?
Hair grows about a quarter to half an inch
per month, but the length of our hair is
as much a genetic gift as is the colour,
thickness and proneness to thinning. For
optimum growth, it’s important to get
rid of split ends or your hair will simply
continue to split and not grow. To avoid
