Last month saw Lesley Jennison, the Global Colour Ambassador of Schwarzkopf, fly down to India for a spectacular stage event that celebrates future hair trends, cuts and colors. Coincidentally, Schwarzkopf Professional also celebrates 120 years of global hair expertise, hence making this iconic runway event a major inspirational platform for tress experts from around the world.
Luckily for us, we got to learn about the five major hair trends that are currently ruling the charts. Bringing international coifs to Indian salon in 3… 2… 1.
Random Rebel
Club culture is back in action and social butterflies like us are elated. Boozy nights are the best time for experimental chicks to unveil the bolder side to their personality. If you’re the TG here, what you need is the right amount of punk for them ruffled skirts, satin dreses and metallic peepers.
Pick out club-inspired impactful hair colors like coral or purple that’ll help you stand out in the crowd. Ideal for shorter lengths, this is your chance to play with extreme textures, broken fringes and feathered finishes. Styling weapons here are the Schwarzkopf Osis + Session Label Strong Hold Hair Spray and the Schwarzkopf Osis Hold Miracle Volume Ultra Strong Cream Mousse.
Real Me
Seldom do we realise that celebrating your innate flaws is as important as staying on the top of fashion trends. Think airy silks, sheer mesh, and layers of lace, against a palette of new neutrals, soft blacks and embellished prints. Giving a modern, unapologetic edge to your regular pretty self is the aim.
For that luscious mane, opt for natural nudes instead of loud, in-your-face shades. The idea is to frame the face with a perfect combination of light and dark nude tones. As for the hairdos, this trend talks about natural, free-flowing, effortless locks. Keep them in place with the Schwarzkopf Osis Magic Anti Frizz Shine Serumand the Schwarzkopf Osis + Session Label Flexible Hold Hair Spray.
Beyond Borders
Reflecting a transcultural society with blurred boundaries, here’s where traditional kaftans meet distressed jeans or where bindis and boots are a match made in heaven. The Indo-Western trend has been in for a pretty long time and we absolutely love the playful clash.
Next up is your choice of hair color, which should also align with the borderless essence of your ensemble. Go for rich multi-dimensional shades that create the illusion of greater volume. This trend is also about making the most of effortless, messed-on-purpose hairstyles. Finally, finish off with the Schwarzkopf Osis Sparkler Shine Spray or the Schwarzkopf Osis+ Curl Honey Curl Cream.
Royal Takeover
The global hair look of the season, our next trend, is about to bust some serious myths. If you always shied away punky reds because of how in-your-face they come across as, here’s our authentic yet sophisticated take on rebellious reds. Right from barely-there red hues to deep vintage burgundy tones, you can rock all of them.
Take your pick from the Schwarzkopf Igora Royal Fashion Lights Permanent Highlight Color Creme. Since we’re talking about such an eye-catching color, you need to take special care of it. Make it last longer with the Schwarzkopf Bonacure Color Freeze Sulfate-Free Shampoo, Schwarzkopf Bonacure Color Freeze Spray Conditioner For Color, and the Schwarzkopf Bonacure Color Freeze Treatment.
Urban Diva
As the name suggests, this is for the millennial Indian woman, living in a fast-paced, urban setting. She’s self-driven, confident, and won’t settle for anything less than what she deserves. Amidst the everyday hustle, she needs a hair trend that’s on-point, undemanding and very wearable.
This collection is a beautiful amalgamation of brown and copper hues that can be wore with élan. Basically, natural and darker global colors that blend well or highlights that give your tresses a lift. The urban diva also loves layered ponytails, half manbuns, messy fishtail braids or low buns. Whatever your hairdo, set it with the Schwarzkopf Osis + Session Label Flexible Hold Hair Spray.
