With Melbourne Fashion Week on the horizon, anticipation is building for the latest Australian fashion trends, including hair. Redken Artists Richard Kavanagh and Diane Gorgievski, who will be backstage at the event, share insights into the top hair trends for the summer season.
1. The Bouncy Blowout:
The ’90s continue to influence hair trends, and the bouncy blowout is making a strong comeback. This voluminous, big-hair look works best for those with fine to medium-textured hair, especially if it has some natural curl. Layers enhance the blowout’s longevity. Redken’s Root Lifter is recommended to add fullness and thickness for that big, bouncy finish.
2. The Butterfly Cut:
A daring fresh cut for spring, the butterfly cut is a modern take on the Rachel haircut. It features voluminous, face-framing layers that create body and movement. This style is versatile, flattering, and glamorous. Redken’s Quick Blowout is suggested for quicker styling on busy days.
3. The Snatched Ponytail (Extra):
To switch up your style without a new cut, consider the snatched ponytail, taken to the next level. Finished, glamorous hair is making a comeback, with twists, braids, and natural textures gaining popularity. A snatched ponytail can work for most but may not suit those with a high forehead or hairline. Redken’s Oil for All helps create a smooth base, while hair extensions can add extra flair.
4. Buttery Blondes:
For a fresh color update, buttery blonde is the shade of summer. This glossy, pale gold blonde includes face-framing highlights and emphasizes shine.
5. Sports Luxe Wet Look:
The sports luxe wet look is a versatile style suitable for various occasions. To achieve this look, apply a generous amount of strong-hold styling mousse to dry hair, comb it into place, and let it air dry. Despite its name, Redken’s Root Lifter can be used for this style, thanks to its high-hold active ingredients.
These summer hair trends are inspired by the ’90s, fashion runways, and the desire for change. Whether you’re looking for a new cut, style, or color, these trends offer options for everyone to try.
