The Andrew Barton Creative Team have a gorgeous collection of fab trends for the season ahead with inspiring new hair looks and some great looks to try. From down town cool to the last word in easy glamour the season is a riot of texture, colour and iconic hair grooming.
REBELLION, ROMANCE AND REVOLUTIONARY! Hair is fashion’s biggest story this season. Barton’s Blondes, Brunettes and Brights all storm onto the colour stage as the season see’s a riot of hair colour.
A return to fierce hair do’s, hair is crimped, brushed out big, dressed and teased into curls, waves or big blowouts a mix of 80’s new romantic exaggeration and studio 54 glamour. Its fun and just a little bit brash but defiantly up beat, we love it, it makes us smile and feel good after all this talk of recession.
Hair is randomly layered with our signature Parisian layers technique where the hair is cut in free motion allowing the layers to flow seamlessly.
Product holds the hair in place with a return to the classic styling product mousse try my Andrew Barton I Love Volume mousse, either to scrunch the hair with a diffuser or blast upside down with a hairdryer. The diffuser is the new hot tool, try the Andrew Barton Blown Away professional hairdryer and diffuser, turn your head upside down and scrunch away. When the hair is dry, blast the hair with the Andrew Barton Hold It Right There ultra light hairspray. At the salon try Redken Touch Control Mousse, my all time favourite mousse – a mix of gel and mousse for perfect big hair.
Dance floor ready hair is worn day or night, use crimpers randomly either at the roots or the tips for super texture. This urban disco glamour revival is anything but straight, use tongs or wavers to get the look on dry hair. The Andrew Barton Making Waves Triple Barrel Waver is the perfect tool, making its debut out of the salon and on the shelves of Argos, clamp sections of hair between the wavy plates to get perfect disco glamour waves. Why this works… it perfectly complements the wider shoulders, off the shoulder and lux fabrics from Dolce & Gabbana and Marc Jacobs this is a hot fashion flashback.
Colours that pop with big statement are outrageous and brave – Purples and plums, inky black for brunettes and chalky blondes. Bolts of acid brights are perfect for those that want to shout about their colour. Hair that as been dipped with colour at the tips or at the roots or a few flashes of colour for fun, use colour not only because fashion says so but to express your personality. If you cant make the commitment to changing your colour and feel like a temporary change the newly launched Andrew Barton clip in real hair extensions is all about Instant Glamour, put them in and take them out as your mood changes.
Fashions most dramatic focal point this season is all about shine on super sculpted shapes, expertly tailored, taking inspiration from classic Yves Saint Laurent silhouettes cuts have simple lines with quirky, jaunty little tilts to the left or right, echoing the geometric shapes of the 60’s. Elegant and poised cuts are laser cut with scissors to mimic fabric classic micro graduated bobs and shapely fringes that contrast between sharp cuts and sparkly colour washes. Minimalist and the epitome of luxury the look is assured and confident.
At Andrew Barton Salons we love colour and how it transforms the hair, colour cocktails are what we do best. Were using Redken shades eq a fabulous semi permanent dye that gives the hair stunning sheen and conditioning elements coupled with starbursts of brighter tints, hair sparkles like sequins.
Sexy and seductive fringes sit right on the brow and are edged with exciting colour sleek and perfectly placed the hair is blow-dried with a paddle brush and ironed using The Andrew Barton Straight Answer Straighener and Andrew Barton Straight Answer Hot Iron Protector spray.
Rusty browns mixed with charcoal black or bonfire toffee and damson combos are perfect for brunettes but for those that have hit the blonde bottle it’s about pearly blondes or icy whites either in thousands of tiny little woven highlights or all over blonding or panelling. The quality of the hair can’t be compromised for this look so treat your hair with the Andrew Barton SOS range or the Andrew Barton Straight Answer shampoo and conditioner to keep it in top condition.
Slightly androgynous the key cuts and shapes are sexy, strong and perfectly complement the new masculine tailored looks from Stella McCartney and Calvin Klein. Power dressing at its best hair is stunning, eye catching and worn with supreme confidence. Usually worn in shorter shapes but can be perfectly translated into longer looks too.
Lifted off the face, back brushed and piled up high jauntily and just a little bit messily pinned into place the hair up as never been so cool! Build the perfect foundation with Andrew Barton Big Hair Lifting Juice or at the salon Redken Root full or Layer lift the hair is blow-dried upside down for maximum lift the hair is then rubbed between the hands to encourage a carefree texture. Teased into an oversized pleat or bun worn on top, wispy coquettish bee hives are big fashion news worn day or night with satins or jeans it’s a modern classic we’re loving!
