Spring trends in hair and beauty
Pack away your scarf and gloves, it’s time to make the long-awaited transition into spring.
Spring is often about new beginnings and fresh trends and it’s no different in the world of hair and beauty. But it’s not all curls and flower garlands.
Here are some of our favourite spring trends to kick start the season.
1. Hair accessories
Tiaras have been appearing all over the catwalk. And although they add instant sparkle and glamour to your look, wearing a crown to work may be a little over the top. Ornate headbands or pretty barrette clips are a casual, office-friendly alternative to stay on trend.
For those of you feeling a little more ambitious, gold thread woven into a soft up do creates a romantic, feminine look and is inspired by Alberta Ferretti during New York Fashion Week.
- High pony
Super-smooth sleek hair is back with a vengeance in the form of the high ponytail. Also known as the facelift ponytail, both Balmain and Chanel showcased this look on the 2016 catwalk. Minimal make up and a deep red lipstick make for a fashion-forward spring look, while perfectly straight glossy locks divert from the soft-waves often seen in springtime. This style adds height and should be worn with confidence.
3. Denim Hair
This is a real thing and girls with longer locks are getting involved en masse this season. With a ranging scale of blues, usually from lighter in the root to darker at the tips, this hair colour trend is intended to match everyone’s favourite jean material. Watch out for it.
- Au Naturale
Barely-there make up is here to stay and is a look worth embracing now the weather is (hopefully) getting warmer. Use a concealer to disguise any blemishes and dark under-eye areas, followed by a tinted moisturiser to even out your complexion. Choose a warm, cream blush for a subtle flush and use a muted, brownish tint to enhance the eyes’ natural contours. Finally, a tinted lip balm will give your lips a dewy, supple effect. Combine with natural waves or braids to complete the natural look while staying on trend
5. Striking Blue
Directly contradicting the natural make up trend, blue eye shadow is very much en vogue. Memories of unsuccessfully experimenting with mum’s make up in the 90s should not put you off. A splash of colour is guaranteed to instantly update your look. Keep the rest of your make up subtle and muted for a truly modern effect.
