2020 Hair Trend #1 The Asymmetrical Bob
When you’re ready to live on the edge why not start with your hair!! We love the shorter, bolder asymmetrical, disconnected bob hairstyle that our beautiful reception angel has gone for in the pic above!
A bolder, more fun statement than the classic bob, the asymmetrical version has hair longer on one side than the other. Customise it for your taste with curly hair and colour.
2020 Hair Trend #2 Red Hair Colours
Only 1 to 2 percent of the population has naturally red hair, but that doesn’t stop the rest of us achieving the same look as Rumer Willis, Isla Fisher or Amy Adams. Although there is plenty of colour competition these days, the many different shades of red hair continued to be among the most popular choices into 2020.
2020 Hair Trend #3: The Uncut Haircut
It’s a hairstyle trend that looks like it has grown out – the shape still looks great, it has texturised ends, and lots of movement and shape. It’s not a bad haircut but rather a great haircut that has seen the passing of time.
Sitting between the ear lobe and shoulder, it should be noted that the uncut haircut is NOT the same as just letting your hair grow out. When your hair grows out, your hairstyle naturally loses shape as your hair grows at different lengths. You still need shape and balance and loads of texture and only a good haircut will help you manage this look well.
2020 Hair Trend #4: Hidden Extremes In Colour
This hairstyle is worn by someone with natural looking colour all over, but sporting some extreme colour underneath the top layers – like a strong vivid colour.
This style can be enhanced by undercuts and is perfect for the person who wants something bright and creative but needs to maintain a certain level of professionalism at work.
2020 Hair Trend #5: Tribal Braiding
With summer braids always on trend, tribal braiding is closer to the scalp – but the style is definitely not “Heidi of the Hills”.
There is something more visceral about tribal braiding and you can personalise the look by adding different coloured ribbons, coloured hair strands and being more organic in the way the braids are laid out. Think more American Indian or African corn rows or warrior goddess braids such as those worn by the Mockingjay in the Hunger Games.
2020 Hair Trend #6: Ash Blonde Hair
Ash blonde hair colour is essentially light blonde with a grey or ‘ash’ tint. When it comes to trending hairstyles and colours, ash blonde is certainly popular right now. There are plenty of celebrities with fine examples including Ashley Benson, Cara Delevinge and Taylor Swift.
2020 Hair Trend #7: Floppy Boy Cut
This hairstyle trend is great for wavy or curly hair for both men or women. It’s reminiscent of 90s men’s haircuts without the short back and sides. This hair cut is long on top, and carries more weight on the edge and sides.
2020 Hair Trend #8: Close Crop
The close crop means shaving your head to a level 2 – which is really close to the scalp. Add extreme colour on top and you’re close to the on-trend look.
The upkeep is quite high, but you can pretty much change your hair colour every six weeks – and that’s a lot of fun.
2020 Hair Trend #9: Silver Hair
Last year, we saw a lot of dirty pastels and grey hair colour trends – but for 2020 it’s all about bringing the shine back. We’re starting to see a lot of requests for silver hair, which is not to be confused with platinum blondes.
Super shiny, matte grey hair gets an upgrade into something a little more magical. We’re loving the hand painted balayage colouring with the slightest root fade, and purple shampoo is a must (try Oribe Silverati Shampoo).
2020 Hair Trend #10: Rose Gold Hair
We can’t get enough of these rose gold hair colour ideas, and we’re not the only ones! This hair colour trend is almost strawberry blonde but with a little more pink. It’s a colour that’s a beautiful change from the usual dirty pastels. It’s luminous and shiny and so attractive and feminine on any haircut.
Rather than an all-over roots to ends colour, we’re loving darker roots with a quick transition to rose gold. Lasting luminous rose gold is best achieved using Wella Professionals colour.
2020 Hair Trend #11: Curls, Curls, Curls
Despite the never-ending requests for keratin smoothing treatments and permanent hair straightening, a small army of women is saying “yes” to flaunting their natural curls.
The key to every beautiful hairstyle is a great haircut, and curly hair needs a specialist who knows know how to create shape without hacking senseless layers into the hair or doing the usual curly bobs. Curly hair is best cut dry – book in for one of our bespoke curly hair dry cuts.
The biggest mistake with curly hair is brushing it – just don’t! Bring out your curly hair best with insanely amazing products like Oribe Curl Control Silkening Creme for soft curls with some hold. If you want curls with a little more staying power and oomph, then you can’t go past the Oribe Curl Shaping Mousse. Forget crunchy tacky mousse’s of the 80’s – this mousse is amazing.
