We are so excited to be writing a regular hair column in Iceni Magazine. We are looking forward to sharing some hair tips with you and advice to keeping your hair looking fresh and well looked after.

In this article we are going to be writing about the latest Haircut and Colour trends.

Balayage and Ombré have been a strong colour look for the last five years and we still get asked for this a lot but the new trend we are starting to see both on celebrities and clients is a more natural softer look. The term ‘Ombré’ comes from the french word meaning shaded or shading. Ombré hair colour is generally darker at the roots through the mid-lengths and then gradually gets lighter from the mid-lengths to the ends. 

Balayage is a French colouring technique that was developed in the 1970s. It’s a freehand technique where the colour is applied by hand rather than using foils. People are tired of their hair being over processed and are wanting their hair to be full of shine and in good condition (products help here too!)

With winter hopefully behind us our hair has suffered the cold, central heating and hat hair! We all know that look! The best thing to do now before Summer comes is condition, condition, condition. There are loads on the market to choose from and this is still a step that a lot of our clients leave out in their hare care routine. Not many of us would dream of washing our face and not applying a moisturiser, well hair is the same. Conditioner helps to nourish, protect and strengthen our hair.

To achieve a more natural, sophisticated looking colour we are moving towards the new ‘babylights’ which are bespoke strands of colour that will compliment skin tone, and eye colour these will look heavenly this Spring / Summer, and give a sunkissed soft appearance.

If you would like to discuss anything about  your hair colour options we offer free, no obligation consultations available anytime Monday-Saturday.

Strong haircuts and the ‘lob’ long bob) and ‘Bangs'(fringes) are now on trend and people are looking for a cut that removes any split ends opting for a smooth well conditioned look.
