NEW YEAR , NEW HAIR

BY ANDREW COLLINGE
If you ’ re struggling to shake off the January blues , a new look could be just what you need to get yourself into gear .
New Year , New Cut For those adventurous enough to make a dramatic change in length , there are a number of shorter styles that are worth considering this January . This Autumn / Winter we ’ ve seen textured styles dominate the catwalks and many of the shorter styles on show have been layered to give extra body . If opting for a classic short cut , consider keeping the cut feminine with plenty of layers and length through the fringe .
If you ’ re hesitant to dramatically alter your hair length , the bob or long bob ( lob ) is a great way to gradually move towards a shorter style . This versatile cut is easy to keep and will give you just enough length to tie the hair back from the face if need be .
New Year , New Colour If changing colour is on your wish-list this year , you should consider some research beforehand . Whilst you may fancy changing your hair from a deep brown to bleach blonde , the possibility of an instant transformation may not always be possible . Booking a consultation with a stylist at Andrew Collinge will allow you to discuss the colour process . A quick evaluation of skin tone and colouring is free at any salon and will enable a stylist to recommend a shade that works for you .
If a style overhaul isn ’ t on your new year ’ s agenda , then why not treat your hair to some winter maintenance . Winter can easily take its toll on our hair and dried out cuticles and split ends are just two of the common problems that can cause damage . A fresh cut will rejuvenate any hairstyle adding volume and bounce to outgrown cuts , whilst an in-salon conditioning treatment will quickly bring life back to lacklustre hair . If your hair is dry and prone to split ends , CO by Andrew Collinge Hair Moisturiser is perfect . Use it like a leave-in conditioner before blow-drying and between shampoos .
If you ’ re unsure about which hairstyle would suit you , drop into any Andrew Collinge salon for a free consultation with one of our stylists .
