Look Ahead to Spring Hair 2010 By Lisa HaynesTake inspiration from London Fashion Week. London Fashion Week fever may have died down but the shows are already setting trends for next spring/summer. 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 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 - 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 |
