Kate Middleton's hairdresser tells us how to recreate her perfect blowdry

January 3rd 2012 04:51

When it comes to popular hairstyles of the moment, there are few that are more highly sought-after than that of the young Duchess of Cambridge. While there's nothing particularly unique - let alone edgy! - about Kate Middleton's hairstyle, it has nonetheless inspired envy among women the world over, due to its incredible lustre and soft waves. It also has just the right amount of volume which creates a beautiful movement, returning to a perfect resting state regardless of how windy the day is, or how often the Duchess runs her hands through her hair. No wonder we all want to know how she does it!

It's official!

August 13th 2011 06:07

Crazy hair colour is back on the celebrity radar! Katy Perry, Lauren Conrad, Sienna Miller, Kate Bosworth and Glee's Dianna Agron have all been photographed in the last month sporting hair colours of the not-so-natural variety. This latest revival is all about choosing just one standout colour (multicoloured strands were hot a few years back, but in 2011 will appear dated), and allowing some of your natural base colour to show at the roots.

Candy colours FTW! (Clockwise from top left) Dianna Agron, Sienna Miller, Katy Perry and Kate Bosworth work the latest in hair colour trends.

Rocking the new red

May 21st 2011 21:44

Move over, graduated colour! The hottest look for 2011 is that of rich, vibrant red. Whether it's a classic Prince Harry ginger shade or a modern pink-toned hue a la Rihanna, this year's red is to be worn as an all-over colour, forgoing the more subtle highlights of seasons past.

From the catwalks to the celebrity circuit, red has become the hair colour of choice for 2011.

Choosing the best haircut for your face shape

March 13th 2011 04:00

In the same way that not all clothes will look good on all body types, there are certain haircuts that look fabulous with certain face shapes while being completely unflattering on others. The trick to finding the cut that works best for you is knowing exactly what shape your face is and using this knowledge to highlight your best facial features while downplaying the ones you don't like. Regardless of your facial structure you can rest assured that there's a perfect haircut out there waiting for you - all you have to do now is figure out which one it is.

Not everyone can pull off a choppy bob, but oval-faced girls can do it with total confidence.

How to make a fishtail braid

March 2nd 2011 02:15

Like all the best hairstyles, the fishtail braid (also known as the 'herringbone braid') is one that looks intricate and tricky to do, but with a bit of practice becomes nearly as easy to create as a regular three-strand braid. And like so many of today's popular styles, it actually looks better when it's slightly messed up rather than being perfectly neat and tidy - so no big deal if you happen to drop a strand here or there. Read on for tips on how to make a beautiful fishtail braid, along with the usual gallery of celebrity photos for your hairstyle inspiration.

Unique DIY hair accessories

January 14th 2011 02:32

Making your own hair accessories is both an enjoyable experience in itself, and the only way there is to ensure that your own accessories are truly unique. The more unusual the materials, the more likely you are to create a standout piece that your girlfriends will covet (and possibly steal - so watch out!) Feathers, buttons, lace, brass coins, stockings, silk flowers, beads, strips of leather and suede - each of these materials and many more have been used to great effect. I've even seen a girl with teabags in her hair... not exactly a style I'd choose for myself, but you have to give her points for originality!

Do-it-yourself hair accessories allow you to create a style that is uniquely yours.

How to create milkmaid braids

October 4th 2010 00:15

The trend for milkmaid braids is not a new one, but it definitely has some staying power! This braided hairstyle happens to be one of the easiest and most effective looks around, and can be created in less than ten minutes. Milkmaid braids have that old-school European appeal (think The Sound of Music) and can be either very neat and prim, or loose and bohemian, depending on the look you're after.

The grey hair trend of 2010

August 19th 2010 05:27

One of the most unique hair trends to have emerged in recent months seems to have turned our society's obsession with youth on its head... literally! Once the domain of our grandmothers, grey hair has now become one of the most sought-after looks of the year. Stars like Pixie Geldof, Pink and Lady Gaga were among the first to go grey, and silver tresses have been spotted on the catwalks of several top fashion designers as well. Most recently, Italian Vogue featured 45-year-old supermodel Kristen McMenamy in a photo shoot with a somewhat startling - but still incredibly chic - mane of very long, very straight and very (very!) grey hair.

1990s supermodel Kristen McMenamy goes for grey in the August 2010 issue of Italian Vogue magazine.

The pros and cons of hair extensions

July 29th 2010 04:07

So you want long hair, and you want it now. Or maybe your hair is thinning out and you need to add some extra volume. Or perhaps you want some unique, contrasting strands added in, but you don't want to damage your own hair by dyeing it. Whatever the reason for choosing them, hair extensions can give your look a major overhaul and are becoming increasingly popular among celebrities and everyday women alike. But as with any hair styling choice, when it comes to using hair extensions it's important that you know exactly what you're dealing with before you hand over your credit card and commit to a day in the salon. Here's a list (which is by no means exhaustive) of the pros and cons of using hair extensions.

Love the look of long hair, but can't stand the wait? Hair extensions may be the answer.

The elusive 'miracle product'

July 11th 2010 05:26

Quite often I get emails asking me to recommend the ideal product for such-and-such hair type, with such-and-such being the desired result. Whether it's extra shine, manageability, gorgeous soft curls, or the repair of major damage that people are looking for, invariably there will be a product on the market that will suit their requirements perfectly.... the problem is in finding it, because every person's hair-related needs will be different. Despite what advertisers will tell you, there is no such thing as a 'miracle product' for everyone - only products that work better for some people than they do for others.

The product that makes this girl's hair so shiny would make someone else's hair look terrible.

The best virtual hairstylers

June 2nd 2010 00:06

There was a time, pre-Internet era, when if you wanted to know what you'd look like with a new cut or colour, you had little choice but to take the plunge and try it. Sometimes you'd be lucky, other times not so, and if you wanted to see what you'd look like with longer hair your only option was to wear a wig! But thanks to continual improvements in web technology, there are now plenty of virtual hairstylers available on the Internet which allow you to experiment with a new style, minus the risk of a major hair disaster. Here are my favourite virtual hairstylers, which I consider the best on the web in terms of variations in style and overall accuracy.

Love the sleek bob Ashley Greene was wearing last year? Now you can try it on.
