It's all about the hair... Hair trends for Winter

Hair trends for Winter are all about low maintenance, undone, textural styles with blunt short cuts, choppy bangs and golden hues. From the perfect cut, to the latest colour and styling trends the salons on King William Road have you covered to keep your hair looking it’s best. And not to worry, we have not forgotten the men. With your barber on King William Road, Robbie’s Chops Shop have their team on hand to keep the men in style this Winter. And with not appointments necessary, it’s easy to find the time.

COLOUR

In contrast to the cooler temperatures, colour trends are moving towards brighter tones to bring warmth and depth to Winter hair styling – think beige blondes, rich chocolate browns and creamy caramel tints. “We often see our clients embrace warmer hair colours during the Winter months,” says the team at Sonder Hair, “The change of season is the perfect time to try something new and bring warmth and colour to the face.”

CUTS

For cuts this year, the motto is simply ‘the shorter the better.’ The stylists from ConK Hair affirm that the bob is definitely here to stay, “We are definitely witnessing a big movement towards short hair this season. For those who aren’t ready to part with their long locks, we love a ‘lob’ – a slightly longer alternative that is perfect for all face shapes and hair types.”

STYLING

Styling this season shows a continued preference for classic soft waves. Worn with a deep side part, waves will be the primary style for Winter events and bring a touch of old Hollywood glamour to any look.

For styling at home, the experts at Blow Dry Bar can’t go past an all-time favourite, the messy ponytail or bun! Be sure to add texture to your messy hair-do for that effortlessly chic touch. Although beware ladies, there is a fine line between strategic messy hair and genuinely messy hair, “It may seem like you’ve thrown your hair up and ran out the door but it really took 15 bobby pins, half a can of hairspray and a lot of pulling to perfect this!”

BLOW DRY

We are all busy and sometimes all we need to re-boot the mind in Winter and inspire us to get out of the house is a blow-dry. The teams at Fresh Hair & Body and Blow Dry Bar are perfect for a quick walk in to get your locks freshly styled and ready for the weekend, or if you are just needing that little something extra during the week. Just call ahead to book.

MENS STYLING

For the lads, King William Road’s favourite barber, Robbie’s Chop Shop, is embracing a new take on a classic style – the French Crop, which is a longer, tousled update on the usual full top with short back and sides. Guys will be rocking this easy, bedhead look for months to come!
