THE New Brown NUDE, LIGHT browns were in abundance on the catwalks of Chloé and Fendi. The new brown is luminescent and oozes with health. There is something really highsociety about this colour, its understated delicate hue and natural shine whisper of breeding and classiness.

Zoë advises, “This colour is difficult to achieve because

inspiration from glamorous movie stars of the forties, like Veronica Lake. Zoë Irwin, Creative Director at

Headmasters, says, “The secret to achieving this colour is to use different tones of blonde to give a seamlessly blended result. I am loving pale blonde shades against soft, nude beiges. We offer a colour treatment called Completely Gorgeous, which uses foils and gloss colour to achieve a gorgeously blended, perfect shimmering catwalk colour.”

it’s not just about the shade, it’s about obtaining high shine and a healthy glow to the hair. To do this you need to use good quality products that are light reflecting. At Headmasters we use L’Oréal Luo Colour, which is a new generation colouring product that has the technology to give an iridescent glow to hair whilst enhancing, not covering, your own natural tones and highlights.”

WALKCOLOUR THE New Black

THE New Red As seen at MissoniAW ‘07 REDS ARE stronger this season – think elegant scarlets and radiant russets.

Designers backing the trend included Mui Mui, Prada, Missoni and Marc Jacobs. Zoë says, “To get depth to my redheads, I use different shades of the same colour, so the intensity is deeper underneath and illuminating towards the top.

At Headmasters, we offer a colour treatment called Heavenly Halo, which uses this layering technique to achieve optimum shine and beautiful layered colour.”

RAVEN BLACK and strong dark brunettes with graphic haircuts stormed the catwalks of McQueen and Lanvin.

Zoë says, “A graphic haircut, teamed with a strong colour, can make a real fashion statement. Think of the standout celebrities like Selma Blair and Demi Moore achieve with coal black, comehither dark tresses. It can be short, sexy and edgy, like Selma, or ultra-long, straight and blunt enough to make a statement, like Demi. Their secret is that their dark locks are not matt – they shimmer with intensity.

We Love...

The Bob

HAIR BLAHFOCUS BLAH you make routine visits to the salon.

Bobs need regular trims to keep their shape, so make sure you book in every six weeks to keep your bob looking at its best.

Colour perfection…

Colour can make the difference between a good bob and a head-turning bob. Zoë says, “For sharp, chic bobs, strong colours work best; for a really head-turning look, think icy blondes, deep, strong brunettes and scarlet reds. For a more relaxed bob, colour needs to be more delicate and soft-focused – opt for ribbons of subtle shades for an über-natural result.”

The ultimate guide to the perfect bob

T

he bob is a perennial classic and an iconic statement haircut, which has made a huge comeback recently both on the catwalks and the red carpet.

Not only is the bob gorgeous but it’s easy to wear and versatile, too.

Depending on the finish you opt for, bobs can be stylish, strong and super-chic or cute, cool and fun…

Find your perfect bob…

To find the perfect bob for you think about your lifestyle: do you need to appear sharp, chic and sexy or are you more of a relaxed, cool, laid-back kind of girl?

Celebs sporting polished, ultrashiny, chic, power bobs include Cate Blanchett, Kate Bosworth, Katie Holmes and Naomi Watts. For a more relaxed vibe, check out Keira Knightley’s wavy bob or supermodel Natalia Vodianova’s cool, urbane bob. Zoë Irwin, Creative Director at Headmasters, advises, “Bring pictures of your favourite bobs to your appointment – it will help your stylist visualise the finished result you are looking for.”

Stay perfect…

The secret to keeping your bob stylish and sharp is to make sure www.hmhair.co.uk

Above: Kate Bosworth Below: Natalia Vodianova and Katie Holmes

The perfect finish…

Bobs need styling so they do require a time commitment each day but with the latest products this shouldn’t be too difficult. For sharp, sleek bobs, Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum (£12.65) on pre-blowdried hair is a must. To achieve a velvety, iridescent top-coat, try L’Oréal Techni Art Play Ball Pearl Whip (£11.50), and for a more textured finish, use Kérastase Volumactive Mousse(£14) on towel-dried hair.

You Asked Q

Hair problems solved by our experts

I recently had a baby and since then my hair has become thinner and I am losing a lot of hair when I wash and brush it. What can I do to stop myself losing more?

Anna, from Wimbledon The hormonal changes after pregnancy can mean you experience hair loss. Also, during pregnancy, women do not lose hair at their normal rate, which is why hair feels so much thicker and healthier. However, after pregnancy, this hair does fall out, which can be really distressing. I would recommend that you try the Kérastase Aminexil programme (£99, available from Headmasters salons). This is a patented treatment to help reduce the rate of hair loss and improve density.

Sylvie, Manager, Headmasters Wimbledon Village

A

Q

I’m thinking of dyeing my blonde hair dark like Hilary Duff but am worried about looking ‘washed out.’ I am aiming for a result that looks natural and glossy rather than gothic.

How can I find the right shade for me?

Kirsten, from Putney For a big colour change like that I would recommend going to a salon for a professional result. Make sure you have a full consultation first and be careful about going too dark, because if you are not happy with it, it might be difficult to reverse. My advice would be to go darker gradually and maybe keep a few lighter brown pieces in there so it’s not too much of a shock. I would also book in for a make-up consultation, too, because a complete change of hair colour will mean you will also need to change your make-up.

Herman, Colour Degree Specialist, Headmasters Putney

A

Q A

I have wavy shoulder-length hair and would like a fringe, but I am not sure if my hair type means I can’t go for it.

Tara, from Bath Wavy hair can look gorgeous with a soft side-swept fringe, which won’t really need any extra styling. A full fringe can look really dramatic, too, but you will need to have enough time to blow-dry your fringe. Products like Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum (£12.95) or L’Oreal Techni Art Liss Control (£10.50) both available from Headmasters salons will help to smooth and soften the fringe, making it lie flatter.

It’s October 2007 and L’Oréal Professionnel have jumped ahead of the game once again by launching play ball as its own serious fun styling brand. The range includes 6 bouncing play ball pots with innovative textures and mouth-watering fragrance, and now 4 brand new play sprays to add a little more fixation fun to the mix. In early August the play ball team found a couple of sunny days in rainy London to take James Busby from the Headmasters Art Team out on the town for an edgy shoot on location. “The shoot location was pretty cool actually ...the atmosphere was really great.”

James was asked to work on one of the male models, Jack, to create a fresh textured style, perfect for the typical play ball client.

“Seriously, texture tonic is amazing! It’s a bit like a surf spray, but it doesn’t dry the hair like most do.”

James decided to use the new texture tonic spray to enhance the style even further, and it wasn’t long before he had found his new favourite styling product. “Seriously, texture tonic is amazing! It’s a bit like a surf spray, but it doesn’t dry the hair like most do. Its great for enhancing textures, it gives a nice flexible hold, but the best thing is that you can add more and more throughout the day and the hair never really feels overloaded.”

As soon as the look was complete, it was time to take to the streets. The whole shoot team and the models walked around Shoreditch trying to find the perfect shots. “Standing on a pavement shooting inside of bars whilst everyone bustled past us, we were definitely the centre of attention.

It was certainly different to anything I’ve ever done before!”

Jack as To create the look, James had the centr e of atten tion to work on the style whilst being So, if you’re interested in seeing filmed for a DVD for hair stylists. “Jack was James’ and the other stylists’ work a brilliant model, perfect for play ball.
