FUN HERE

Some celebs have gone for the chop this season and are sporting stylish bobs. The gorgeous Keira Knightley is currently wearing her hair just above the shoulder in a tousled bob sprinkled with beachy highlights

This style is as versatile as they come, as the bob allows you play with colour and texture – keep it sleek or wear it curly, rough it up with a touch of Tigi’s delicious Bed Head texturizing wax. You can wear it with a fringe or without - the options are endless

If you decide to go for a bob this season book a consultation at Forresters to discuss with your stylist a shape that will complement your face. Fuller faces should aim for a skinny, sleek look, while those with narrow faces should wear it fuller, with a fringe swept to the side or flicked out

Whatever you chose - a bob is making a strong fashion statement for the new season

Fabulous Fringes:

This key look for the new season is bang on trend but make sure your fringe has moved with the times

The new look is casual and quirky, maybe even a bit choppy. It could look like you’ve tried to trim it yourself but we all no this is a real ‘no, no’

If you want to make the most of fringe benefits this season ensure you book a regular tidy-up with your Forresters stylist. Make a short appointment in advance and keep this face-framing feature carefully coiffed

Depending on your style and length of hair, you can wear a fringe blunt and straight or swept to the side and flicked out. Adding colour through the front will accentuate this flattering feature and if you want to add thickness, consider adding in a few Racoon extensions

Book an appointment with your Forresters stylist to discuss the options

Vintage Drama:

Vintage Victoriana fashion paraded a proliferation of polka dots down the catwalks of Europe this season and hair had a touch of wartime glamour too

The basis for creating this classy look is, as with many styles, a good blow-dry

It might be worth getting your stylist at Forresters to direct you towards the looks that work best for you in this trend

Easy-to-wear chignons, with lots of red lipstick, nifty knots, pretty ponytails and buns will all give you the result you want. But you know where we are if you need help in getting this style just right for you

Give us a call at Forresters if you need direction with creating your own vintage drama

Rock Goddess:

Head-Turning punk style comes in gothic doses this season as grunge meets rock ‘n’ roll. This look is for the very bravest of fashion’s crusaders and combines dark tresses with textured layering and a well-groomed look

Make-up must complement this look with strong kohl-lined eyes but keep lips neutral

Work that Wave:

If you love sleek hair but want a bit of the action in the way of added movement - then give your hair a gentle wave

For straight hair use heated or bendy rollers to achieve this look. Curly hair may need to be tamed with heated tongs – spiralling the hair around to create waves

This is a great image to play with and very much a look of the moment. Have fun experimenting with different products such as TIGI Curls Rock booster and accessories to dress up this look for evenings

Extensions:

Racoon is one of the leading names in hair extensions and we have them here at Forresters

Racoon extensions can be used not only to add length but also thickness, volume and colour

Adding just a few carefully placed extensions can make a dramatic difference to the body and volume of your hair

And if you’re currently wearing your hair ultra-long, ask your stylist about using extensions to keep your style looking healthy and natural

Yes, I did say “natural” as extensions have had a bad press lately but at Forresters we believe in working with the client’s hair and the look they want to achieve to create the most stunning, natural look possible

In fact, extensions often look best when they work with your own hairstyle as this achieves a more realistic, rather than fairytale, result. But just watch heads turn when you walk in the room

Caught in The Middle:

If you’ve opted for a mid-length look, talk to your Forrester’s stylist about the various options open to you

Consider disconnected layers for added body and volume and think about using colour throughout the hair to give it movement

Play with this look by wearing it up and adding bling accessories for dance floor glitz in the evenings

Work some magic with you sexy new layers by adding a touch of Tigi Hard to Get through your hair

Funky, sexy crops are back in fashion and this fabulous style never goes off trend, giving you numerous styling options

Keep it punky and spike it up or wispy, adding colour to give movement to your look, or slick things up with a smooth style and a strong fringe to really make a statement

This is an easy maintenance cut for the wearer but it does require regular trips to the salon to keep it looking sharp, so keep Forresters number on your phone

It’s not a style everyone is going to feel comfortable with. If you’re considering going for the chop, discuss it with your stylist first and perhaps consider taking it to a mid-length before you take the plunge

Growing hair out requires perseverance but help is at hand here at Forresters. If you’re heading for long luscious locks this season, don’t neglect regular trims

Having your hair cut boosts growth and your Forresters stylist can create the illusion of length too

Work on conditioning your hair as it grows and talk to your stylist about the best products to use to keep your hair looking healthy

Lengths You Go To:

Once you’ve achieved the length you want, max your look with regular conditioning treatments at Forresters

Use colour to accentuate the length and add voluminous movement to your locks. Be bold and play with crazy curls one day and turn up to work with a sleek sensible style the next

Ask your Forresters stylist about adding a few extensions to your hair for body

And keep your tresses looking gorgeously glossy with a smattering of sun-kissed highlights

Hey Curlfriend:

If you haven’t tried this look yet, then there’s no better time. Curls are great for adding drama to hair and, at the moment, anything goes – from loose languid locks to tight, ringlety tresses

Decide what’s best for you and give it a whirl. With curls the products you use can really help to enhance and prolong your look. Some great ‘curlfriend’ products available at Forresters include Catwalk Curls Rock Range

Speaking Volume:

Have it large with a rockabilly style quiff. This look is great if you are growing out a fringe and it’s bang up-to-date

Play with the sides of your hair, keeping it straight, adding curl or go for a sexy dishevelled wave

Products play a vital role in ensuring you quiff doesn’t slump at the slightest hint of a breeze. At Forresters we use Tigi Bed Head Master Piece Shine Hairspray to get this bang on trend style just right

Colour – To Boldly Go:

Platinum appeal is a predominant theme this season but whether you’ve opted to be a blonde bombshell, a ravishing redhead or a brunette babe keep your colour looking healthy and glossy by using a conditioner that’s right for your hair. Your Forresters stylist will be happy to recommend one. And make sure you book regular trips to Forresters to keep that colour bright

Blonde hair can end up looking dry and brittle if you use too much heat, so go easy on the irons

Talk to your stylist about combining chunky and fine lights to add depth to your hair and thickness, if your hair is fine. Extensions can help too by adding volume and contrasting colour to blonde hair

Red can be the most vibrant shade during the autumn/winter months and a sharp cut will enhance this ravishing colour

Again redheads can be prone to dryness and frizziness, so ask your Forreters stylist for product advice to keep your titian tresses looking top notch. At Forresters we advise using Tigi Bed Head Control Freak Serum to keep your hair looking glossy

Chocolate browns are still big news, so make the most of your natural colour by enhancing it with a touch of red or blonde lights

Sharp, precise cuts work well on darker hair and brunettes have mega shine potential so max up your locks by treating it to regular conditioning treatments at Forresters
