SUMMER HAIR
BY ANDREW COLLINGE
The effects of winter, cold weather and central heating
can easily take its toll on our hairstyle making it dry, dull
and lifeless. With Summer on its way, it’s time to consider
refreshing your hairstyle. A fresh cut will rejuvenate any
hairstyle adding volume and bounce to outgrown cuts.
Whilst the last year’s catwalks introduced us to a number
of shorter styles, 2017 collections saw the trend for shorter
haircuts continue. Many stylists made the shift towards
a more unkempt finish and we saw a clear movement
towards short hair with grungy lived-in texture. 90’s
inspired chin-skimming bobs, short cropped bowl cuts and
textured pixie crops have all crept back onto the catwalk
and have never looked better.
The Short Bob
Alexander Wang’s forthcoming collection was one of the
front runners with this look, but since February’s fashion
weeks, we’ve seen many models, celebrities and stylists
follow suit. After its stint in the limelight, the long bob has
now taken a backseat and this sharper, shorter take on the
bob is evidently becoming one of the major hair trends for
2017.
The Pixie Cut
For those adventurous enough to make a more dramatic
change in length, the pixie cut is another option. This
season’s trend has seen stylists keeping shorter cuts very
textured, with plenty of layers and length through the
fringe. Keeping the hair short underneath and long through
the front and top will enable you to enhance your style with
product to create a tousled edgy looking finish.
