Autumn hair trends we’re loving right now
Autumn hair trends circle back every year with copper being the most infamous. But, this season’s copper is m
ore muted, less fiery and way more luxurious. It is all about the gloss which works perfectly with our ammonia free colour ranges available at The Vanilla Room. You can either…
- Sample the shades with long-lasting semi permanents that do not give you a regrowth
- Blend the first greys to gradually fade away
- Dive right in with the more vibrancy achieved with our permanent shades in L’Oréal’s ammonia free inoa, which has an oil delivery system to the colour for added shine.
“Copper is a timeless colour that trends consistently each year but with a different feeling and tone. It’s super wearable on all skin types.”
This autumn hair trends are focusing on two specific hair cuts…
We are seeing a merge of two of our favourite hairstyles creating a hot new trend. ‘The Banged Bob’ and the longer version ‘The Clavi-cut’
We are well and truly in our bob era. If there’s one thing, we all dread it’s growing out a short haircut. That is, until the clavi-cut came on the scene.
Taking its name from the clavicle, this hairstyle is specifically cut to the length of your collarbone to serve as a defined-length long bob.
Like the bob, it’s ideal for those who want to join in the bob hair hype but without losing as much length off the ends.
“It’s also the perfect mid-length hairstyle for anyone who is growing out a shorter haircut”, says Christie at TVR.
“The growing-out phase, especially around shoulder length, requires a lot of patience and you are very limited with which technique – layering, shaping, texturing – you can use,” she says. “This cut seamlessly bridges the gap from shoulder length to long. It’s a super versatile style as it allows the wearer enough length to wear in high or low ponytails and loose buns.”
“It also allows the wearer to try shorter looks by using styling tools to create waves or curls, which lifts the length into a textured bob length.”
How to style the Clavi-cut
The Clavi-cut mostly comes down to the lines it creates at the collarbone. The key is to create a “strong, but slightly shattered, horizontal line” that sits parallel with the collarbone and swings as the head moves.
It compliments fine to medium-density hair and would suit soft layers that don’t impact too much of the hair’s length.
The ‘old money’ look is one that benefits from simplicity. Kerry, Salon Owner, adds: “I would avoid face framing or ‘shaping’ around the front at this length. This detracts from the main feature, which is the length sitting on the clavicle. You would also round out the shape by pushing the length away from the front of the face and around the shoulders.”
Even Victoria Beckham herself, has taken the plunge and kicked off Paris Fashion Week with a transformative new haircut – The Clavi-cut.
The Banged Bob
The shorter version ‘The banged bob’ is always cut with a fringe or curtain bangs. It can be short, sharp and choppy or a softer grown out version as you head towards the longer Clavi-cut.
The banged bob is a twist on the blunt bob or French bob we talked about last season. There are different variations: the blunt bob with bangs; a layered or choppy bob with a choppy fringe; or a shag bob with a ‘barely there’ Suki Waterhouse-style fringe.
To style a banged bob, always start with a prep product. TVR have just the range for you with new styling innovations on the shelf from Keune’s latest launch of their style range. They have 4 new primers which speed up drying, control frizz and prep and enhance the hair ready for styling. Follow this with ‘Thick trick’ a brand-new thickening styling spray or ‘Ocean waves’ a sea salt spray to get some grit and body in the hair, depending on the look you are after. Then blow dry with a large round brush, diffuse or scrunch.
Asking your hairdresser for a “tutorial on getting the most out of your natural hair movement” as they can recommend the right techniques and products to complement your hair type.
When it comes to the salon appointment, Kerry says: “Collect some images of bobs for reference so your TVR Stylist can decipher your preferred type. Choosing from blunt, feathered, long, chin length or French flicked. This will determine how it sits and how thick it needs to be.”
