The Place Hairdressing owner and senior stylist Kiralee Honor is your beauty go-to for advice on the latest cut, colour and styling trends. Kiralee shared what we can expect this Spring and Summer.
CUTS
The lob is making a comeback this Summer! This hairstyle has been a favourite among celebrities for years, with a plethora of stars getting different iterations of the cut.
A lob sits between the chin and collarbone and grazes the nape of the neck right about the shoulders and with this length it can either fall in a square or A-line shape.
I also predict a return of the chop (blunt bob) – a cut that falls to the chin and features a sharp, blunt edge. This style is good for heart, oval, or squared-shaped faces as it softens the jawline and brings more symmetry to your face.
To style use a ghd Platinum for a sleek look or a ghd Oracle to incorporate fun, messy waves by curling sections of the hair. Finish with Kevin Murphy Doo.Over for the loose wave look.
COLOURS
The creamy honey-blonde hue is probably my favourite hair colour trend for 2020. It’s stunning against any skin tone, wearable for every season and actually easy to maintain.
Super-blended golden highlights and lowlights are the key to recreating this colour, and it’s so pretty that it’s definitely worth the effort.
If you’ve already let your roots grow out a little bit longer than you should between hair visits, you might want to try the shadow roots hair colour trend.
This is when you dye your roots a darker colour than the rest of your hair to create a “shadow” contrast.
TOOLS & PRODUCTS
Styling this Summer is all about adding shine and body to your hair. From a ghd Helios Blowdryer which cuts your blow-drying time down while adding shine to a ghd Oracle giving you an easy curl.
In Summer you will likely lose moisture from your hair as we spend more time at the beach, so make sure you’re doing a weekly deep treatment mask and adding a leave-in moisture spray after every wash.
The high humidity in Summer can also be challenging for hair, so try the Kms Anti-Humidity Spray to keep your style looking and feeling fresh.
