Editor’s Letter

T

his issue is all about planning. I love a bit of planning, a scribbled list here, a pinterest board there & more than a couple of calendars on my iPhone!

Sometimes planning is essential, for example, a quick Pinterest board or a couple of magazine tears illustrating the exact shade of blonde, red, or brunette you want speaks volumes to your colourist.

And a little forward gift planning takes the pain out of shopping & means you can get a little more for a little less. Check out our gift guide on page 8.

Pull out & keep our masterclass on page 16 so the next time your hair isn’t doing what it’s supposed to you have a quick fix at hand. (I tack them onto the inside of my wardrobe door – making them easy to inspire in a hurry!) Plus there is nothing like having a holiday in the diary to look forward to. Make sure you enter out competition on page 30.

Good luck & happy planning!

SHORT HAIR

To Chop or Not?

Many women dream of going short but worry about the day to day versatility, staying feminine & the salon upkeep

1 2

The Upkeep

On a daily basis, you need to do much less to a good short cut as its shape is cut into it therefore you need less styling to create a flattering shape. The maintenance really comes in with regular appointments with your stylist every 4-6 weeks (depending on how fast your hair grows) to avoid the mushroom effect.

The Colour

Colour can make a huge difference to the look and feel of a short cut. It can make it more dramatic, a pixie cut in a deep dark brown can be showstopping but equally highlights can create light around the face and feminise a cut. If you already have colour, you will be used to regular salon appointments too, so a little trim at the end of your colour appointment to maintain your shape should be easy to fit into your beauty routine.

The girls that do it well...

Versatility

Emma Watson

To keep your cut versatile & allow you to style it in a number of ways you need to keep some length within it.

Reveal your features and focus on eyes & cheekbones

EXPERT ADVICE – JONATHAN SOONS – ART DIRECTOR AT HEADMASTERS

4

“The best place to keep length is the fringe & the crown. The fringe will frame & flatter the face, length at the crown will give the cut shape.

For ultimate versatility go for a transient cut – it gives you the soft texture of short layers blended with a longer side fringe to give you the option of creating different styles.

Don’t automatically discount an undercut, it can work wonders for thick hair, they can be edgy & cool but we can also cut them invisibly & they just help to keep the shape of the hair slimmer!”

*

Audrey Tautou

Short can be glamorous and sophisticated

The Cut

Bring in pictures from magazines or create a Pinterest board of your favourite short cuts. Try to be a little flexible as this will allow your stylist to tailor the cut to suit your features. Speak to your salon about who specialises in short styles. Stylists love talking hair & lots of them will have short hair cut by other stylists as well. If you like it, ask who did it & book in with them. If you are going for a major change make sure you tell the receptionist so they can make sure you have a longer consultation time, or even book in separately for a consultation first, before you take the plunge!

MASTERCLASS New and exclusive..

The Essentials Master This season we have pulled together the essential hair classics every girl needs in her repertoire – these will get you through any week, with beautiful noteworthy hair in five simple steps …

Pro-blow

T

he perfect blow-dry will carry you through any occasion, once learnt it will be one of the best weapons in your beauty armoury. You can build on it and give it seasonal tweaks but the basics stay the same.

1) Prep hair with L’Oréal Professionnel tecni.art volume lift & L’Oréal Professionnel tecni.art pli and blow-dry using a ghd paddle brush.

2) Split the hair into six large sections one at the crown, on at the front, two at the back and two on either side.

3) Taking the section at the crown, separate into two and lightly backcomb the piece at the back leaving the front free and place over the top of the backcombed piece. Repeat this on all six large sections.

4) Taking a tong, wrap sections of hair around it then roll up and pin to the head, repeat this all over and leave to cool. Once cool, brush the hair out YOU WILL NEED: with a ghd paddle brush L’Oréal Professionnel tecni art volume lift – £10.60 and finish with L’Oréal L’Oréal Professionnel tecni.art pli – £13 Professionnel tecni.art L’Oréal Professionnel tecni.art fix – £13 crystal gloss.

Couture Curls

Avoid school-girl ringlets or limp curls that don’t last the distance. Couture Curls are the right side of cool – get the bend in all the right places to flatter features, plus it won’t drop all day/night with no stiffness.

Your guide to a week of gorgeous hair…

Saturday

Do the Pro Blow when you have a little extra time

Sunday

Brush out & add a little salt spray for sexy texture (easy relaxed Sunday hair)

Monday

A ponytail is smart & quick (perfect for the shock & hassle of Monday mornings!)

Tuesday

Couture Curls – give yourself some extra time in the morning (or we cheat & wash the night before & style the next day)

Wednesday

Brush out into loose waves

Thursday Messy Up-Do

The ultimate date night fail safe, our take on it is a little French, a little sultry and very chic.

Height where it counts and loose pieces that make it look casually cool rather than too done.

Add a little dry shampoo & half up half down hair works

Friday

The Messy Up-Do (a chic & sexy end to the week)

Antonio Berardi

COLOUR COUTURE Josephine de la Baume Super-chic French style

Discover your perfect red Thought you couldn’t wear red hair?

Think again, Headmasters knows how to find the perfect shade for you!

I

f you are not paying enough attention to red this season, you are missing one of the biggest hair colour trends sweeping the catwalk. From Antonio Berardi A/W 13, Vera Wang A/W 13 to Oscar De La Renta A/W 13 and with A-list celebrities like Joséphine de La Baume, Jessica Chastain and Christina Hendricks championing it, we predict it’s a colour to stay.

The good news is that Headmasters are taking a fresh approach to reds. Often perceived as difficult to wear, Headmasters have created a shade to suit every skin tone from burnt copper to tangerine. These bespoke shades can actually be more wearable than cool blondes and brunettes as the warm undertones really enhance the complexion.

All colour consultations at Headmasters are complimentary, book in and talk to one of our colour experts today.

Jessica Chastain, Red carpet perfect

EXPERT ADVICE

Christina Hendricks

Timeless auburn beauty

– SIOBHAN JONES – COLOUR DIRECTOR AT HEADMASTERS

“Reds are really pure this season with an inner energy which makes the colour look as if it’s glowing from within. This is because they have a much stronger natural base tone which makes the hair multi-tonal, rich and vivid.”

COLOUR COUTURE

Top Tips On How To Maintain Your Red

1

2 Kerastase Soleil Micro Voile Protecteur - £18.90

3

Sun and chlorine exposure is red hair’s worst enemy. Always cover your hair if you can Just like skin, hair also needs sun protection, so use UV protection daily to prevent colour fade, we love Kérastase Soleil Huile Celeste Avoid washing your hair up to 48 hours after the colour service to help lock in the colour and use a colour shampoo to avoid fade

4

Always use cool water to rinse, warm water opens the cuticle which allows for the colour to wash out

5

Every time you wash your hair you wash away colour, so avoid frequent washing by using a dry shampoo like Headmasters Style Extend Volumising Dry Shampoo.

Headmasters Style Extend Volumising Dry Shampoo, £2.99

Celebrity Style ...

Siobhan Jones, Headmasters Colour Director, created this beautiful red on Jesy.

She says, “This season’s expensive, luxurious -looking red is all about adding richness and depth by incorporating a multitude of different shadows and lights to create a red that is wearable, on trend and easy to maintain.

I used gentle glossing colour in numerous shades of mahogany and copper for super shine with no damage and applied them freehand throughout to get a soft blend of tones.”

I

t can be really easy to get stuck in a hair rut and have the same cut time after time in the salon because you don’t know what else to ask for. We have looked at the biggest billing male models and rounded up the best cuts. These models make ads for mega brands like Prada, Burberry, Lacoste, Dolce & Gabbana and Calvin Klein and, unlike their female counterparts, most of us don’t even know their names but their image sells millions. Take a tip from the best in the industry …

Ok so let’s start with a model everyone knows – David Gandy. We asked Headmasters Art Director & resident male grooming expert Oliver Blackaby to tell us exactly what to ask your stylist for to get this look.

EXPERT ADVICE “Request a longer length through the front and sides. This is a relaxed but groomed look. It’s important to get your stylist to show you how to style it from wet to dry.”

Matthew Terry

“With a little nod to the nineties (very cool right now), ask for enough length on top to almost tuck behind the ears & taper hair at the nape of the neck. This cut works best on straight hair.”

24 www.headmasters.com

1

“Perfect for wavy & textured hair. Ask for a scissor over comb cut with tapering around the back & sides but not too square & leave plenty of length on top to allow it to be styled away from the face.”

2

Must-have product..

Sean O’Pry

Oliver’s Essential Men’s Products: [1] TIGI Hard to get so versatile, it gives the hold of a Matt Wax with Shine – £15.50 [2] Redken Woolshake fantastic to blow dry into wet hair, as it swells the cuticle and give that lived in finish. A light spritz on dry hair gives hold and definition, especially to curly or wavy hair – £15.30 [3] Nioxin shampoo, conditioner and scalp treatment for thinning hair is a miracle in a bottle, great for fine hair, and also kick starts those weak hair follicles back into action! – £29

3

Clement Chabernaud

Great for fine hair, ask for a finger’s width for length on the side & back and not too long on top. Ask for it to be blunt cut so it holds its structure.”

Arran Sly

“This cut has subtle disconnection, length on top is important as this holds the hair in place & doesn’t go too short on the sides. A product with a lot of hold is essential.”
