Rush is predicting a return of crimped hair for the Christmas party season, favouring 1980s and 1990s styles for added volume and movement. Their advice involves leaving a 5cm root section un-crimped and softly crimping the lengths to the ends, followed by a gentle brush out and shine spray. This trend taps into a wider desire for statement looks during festive periods.
The salon group also highlights the 'Beautiful, Big, Bouncy Blowdry' focusing on intense volume, texture, and a high-shine finish. This style promotes embracing natural texture and can be achieved with minimal heat, offering a healthier styling option. For those at home, emphasis is placed on root volume during blow-drying or using heated rollers for waves, with a recommendation for high-hold hairspray. A wispy, disconnected fringe is suggested to complete this boho-chic aesthetic.
For clients seeking a more understated elegance, Rush anticipates a trend for 'Sleek, Sophisticated Shine' characterised by sharp angles and clean lines. This approach suggests that impactful styles do not require excessive extravagance. Maintaining hair health is critical for these sleek looks, as damage becomes more apparent. The use of hydrating shampoo and conditioner, such as Goldwell's Dualsenses Rich Repair range, is advised to ensure hair is well-nourished and prepared for sleek styling.
