IT-GIRL COLOURS
Isolation has resulted in many things, but on the beauty front, one of them is definitely letting our mane grow. Lengthy, spaced out visits to the hair salon means regrowth aplenty, with the upside being a prolonged break from colour. Michelle believes that the latest new season colour trends have morphed and blossomed from that, saying “Where colour was quite lived-in before, and it still is – but we’re working with a little bit more dimension in the colour, a bit of a higher contrast. You can see a little bit more focus on that heavy face-frame now, whilst working with a really natural base of the roots. I think that’s kind of elevated that lived-in look that we’ve been going with for a while.”
TRENDING CUTS
Length is definitely still in, perfectly suiting the latest trending colour styles that we detail below. On the other hand, for post-pandemic hair, Michelle has seen a shift: “I think people are a lot more open to change. So there’s been a lot of 70’s layering still going on, to go along with that face framing.” Some subtle shaping and layering around the face may be just what the doctor ordered to take your post-iso look from slightly drab, to full-on fab.
TO FRINGE, OR NOT TO FRINGE?
Fringes are definitely in! According to Michelle, the preference is for the sweeping-bangs variety – softer, wispier, and often coupled with a face-frame highlight. She explains: “We’re seeing less of a front fringe, and more free-flowing, natural-looking fringes. So a little longer, a little more in-the-eyes also – as annoying as that can be to wear, it looks great!”
COLOUR POP
Think you’ve seen (and heard) the last of millennial pink? Think again. When it comes to adding cheeky drama to E-girl hair, it’s the softer colour pop of choice to contrast a brunette base, as are peach and copper tones. For blondes, Michelle says, “baby-blues and pastel turquoise act as a really fun contrast colours.”
