Spring/Summer 19 Hair Trends

Wearable Wet Look: (Chloe pictured on the right)

The reoccurring theme of wet hair is taking a turn, stepping away from the runway and into everyday life. Previously, this look was difficult to achieve outside of seasonal shows, the lack of transferability into day to day life meant that whilst this was a popular look, very few people could achieve it. Instead, this season Chloe has taken the lead in showcasing attainable styles. With volume at the roots, stylists were able to achieve a subtle yet sophisticated style that could be worn to a multitude of events. Following in their footsteps Altuzarra (top left) presented a slightly more lacquered look with intentions of having a longer hold. Alternatively, if the structured look isn’t for you then Markus Lupfer (shown bottom right) introduced the high-shine glossy look that conveys the effortless aura of class.

Baby Bangs:

As seen over the last few seasons, fringes have drastically increased in popularity, however; 2019 contemporary trends have led to the birth of the ‘Baby Bang’ these micro-fringes have been accessorised with luxurious headbands in shows such as Prada (seen on right), Miu Miu (seen on left) and Dries Van Noten. Behind this hairstyling phenomenon was two of the industry’s most influential stylists, Guido Palau and Sam McKnight. Over the years they have rose to fame over their ability to create and forecast many seasonal hair trends. This trend is most certainly one to look out for.

Polished Perfection:

Sleek hair is back in the game… what was once considered ‘average’ is now the new ‘it’ style. Model’s sashaying down the runway with shimmering hair left critics and stylists eager to recreate this look. At the forefront of the media attention was Missoni (left) with their simplistic half up half down style, shortly followed by the rejuvenation of the classic bun from Moschino (right) both of which boast these ultra-reflective finishes. Upon interviews with creative directors, simplicity of the hair enhances the rest of the outfit, every aspect is considered as an independent factor towards a celebration of individuality. Use Wella Glam Mist (£13.60) and Wella Shimmer Delight (£10.80).
