Take inspiration from London Fashion Week for the key trends in hair for Spring/Summer 2010. 

London Fashion Week fever may have died down but the shows are already setting trends for the next spring/summer hair looks.

We might have to wait patiently for the designer-inspired clothes to land in stores but next season's hair is accessible right now, giving us plenty of time to perfect our favourite fashion-led looks.

From birds nest tresses and wet-look slick locks in hair, get the London look with Fashion Week S/S10's hottest backstage looks.

Catwalk hair

Vivienne Westwood Red Label

Hair look: A grown-up version of Alice in Wonderland that's the antithesis of groomed hair. In a last minute change, Westwood ordered a "rougher texture" and added random scraps of girly ribbons.

Inspiration: "It's like a little girl's hair who's been dragged through a rabbit hole -hair textured with straggly bits at the ends and scraped back with ribbon for a playful twist," says Peter Gray for L'Oreal Professionnel.

Key products: L'Oreal Professionnel Pli and Volume Architect, and Texture Expert Smooth Ultime (0800 072 6699/www.lorealprofessionnel.co.uk)

Jonathan Saunders

Hair look: Models hair glistened under the catwalk spotlights with wet locks in a low side parting.

Inspiration: "Teenage vampires that look grungy and undone, but still innocent. It's like they've just stepped out of a swimming pool, with wet-look hair sprayed to the head to make it look a little 'awkward'," says Guido for Redken.

Key products: Redken Hardwear, and Outshine (0800 085 4956/www.redken.co.uk)

Christopher Kane

Hair look: Fragile tumbled down chignons with side partings and wispy long fringes that fell into models eyes.

Inspiration: "The hair was born from Kane's concept of the good-girl-gone-bad. She looks like her mother did her hair but on the way to church she met a boy and had a roll around in a field," says Paul Hanlon for TIGI.

Key products: TIGI Catwalk Volume Collection Root Boost Spray, Your Highness Thickening Gel Creme, and Your Highness Weightless Shine Spray (www.catwalkbytigi.com).

Betty Jackson

Hair look:
Va-va voom volume with a 1950s beehive shape set at the roots but length at the back left loose and natural.

Inspiration: "1950s Hollywood siren from a black and white movie. Think alluring actress clicking around Paris by day and frequenting club to club by night," says Cos Sakkas for Toni&Guy.

Key products: Label.m Volume Mousse, Hairspray, and Resurrection Style Dust (0870 770 8080/www.labelm.co.uk)

House of Holland

Hair look: Models strutted down the wedding aisle catwalk with wild bird's nest hair that was light and airy with plenty of bounce.

Inspiration: "After discussions with (designer) Henry about his vision of a wedding theme for the show, we wanted to create a 1980s feel for the hair but with a modern twist," says Shay Dempsey for Sebastian.

Key products: Sebastian Professional Microweb Fiber, Zero G, and Craft Clay (www.sebastianprofessional.com).

Paul Costelloe

Hair look: A look dominated by modern block fringe hair wefts, razored to give an edgy asymmetric finish.

Inspiration: "Bauhaus Cubism movement reflected in an intelligent fringe, with clean and structured graphic lines," says Tim Furssedonn for Toni&Guy.

Key products: Label.m Volume Mousse, and Shine Spray (Labelm - 0870 770 8080.

Tried & tested

Erase tell-tale lines and bags with an eye cream. We test three new products for peepers.

Pond's RegenerActiv Eye Contour Cream, £6.99, Superdrug - A nice lightweight cream that absorbed quickly. The skin around my eyes felt tighter after a couple of weeks and my dark circles looked noticeably lighter. 4/5

Philosophy Eye Hope Advanced Anti-Ageing Cream, £40.80 (0870 990 8452) - Loved the pump action applicator and the cream is easily absorbed. It was a indulgent overnight treatment but when I applied it in the mornings it made little difference to my tired, puffy eyes. 3/5

Rodial Glamtox Eye Light, £90 (www.rodial.co.uk) - A miracle worker in the mornings, this cream alleviates late-night bags and made me look refreshed but may not be the product for you if you're seeking an anti-ageing potion. 3/5
