What’s Hot in Hair with EdwardsAndCo
Amanda Stevens chats to EdwardsAndCo founder Jaye Edwards to find out the latest hair trends and what makes for luscious winter locks.
The change of season sees us longing to refresh our look and warmer tones for cooler months are in. Here’s what’s hot:
COLOUR TRENDS
Golden Hour
Warm, golden shades offer an on-trend alternative to cooler blonde tones that we have seen over summer. For brunettes, this would involve a lightening service, then toning back to honey perfection. Whereas for blondes, a simple 15 minute gloss service could get you there.
This shade is also less damaging to your hair than the 90’s blonde shades which were huge in 2022.
Cherry Cola
TikTok’s viral Cherry Cola hair colour trend is one for the Y2K fans.
A transition from the copper trend that dominated 2022, this deep, cola inspired cherry colour is the next go-to for the cooler months ahead. This colour is suitable for all and involves creating that deep, brunette base, then enhancing with copper and red tones.
This colour is also fully customisable to suit your skin tone, depending on how deep and bright you want your hair to go.
Recession Brunette
It’s no secret that maintaining blonde hair can be an expensive and time consuming exercise. With the cost of living constantly on the rise, a lot of clients are opting for low maintenance, future-proof colours.
We have seen a big increase in requests for natural but beautiful hair, with clients after something that will stand the test of time, increasing the longevity of each colour service.
STYLES
Hailey Bieber Bob
The sharper the cut is, the better for this style. If you want to create more dimension you can also add in light layers for a softer look.
This look is suitable for all hair types and we love to see short hair making a comeback. A bob is timelessly chic and great for achieving a polished look that adds structure and enhances your face.
Curly Bangs
Chic, light bangs on curly hair is the perfect way to change up your look with minimal effort.
A guarantee to suit all face shapes and hair lengths, a light bang is the perfect beginner bang to try!
This look would involve a simple face framing trim, cut dry to enhance the natural pattern. Depending on your preferences, you could create a curtain bang effect or a more full bang.
Mermaid Core
Winter is the perfect time to grow out your hair and this super long, layerless look is absolutely having a moment.
Beautiful on all hair colours, this style is for the mermaid core obsession that we have seen all across TikTok!
Achieving length is all about hair health. I recommend investing in salon quality restorative products, switching your colour to something more lived in to minimise colour services, as well as regular trims.
For those not willing to wait, extensions with invisible layers are also a great alternative.
It’s all about working with what you have naturally, rather than against it.
That could mean cuts that compliment your natural texture, and lived-in colours that add a little pop. This should be done in collaboration with your stylist, it isn’t one size fits all approach.
