New York Fashion Week trend-watch
The international fashion weeks always serve up inspiration and give us a hint as to what’s next when it comes to hair and beauty trends. We’ve rounded up some of the best trends from New York Fashion Week SS17, that you can take straight into the salon.Long and Loose
Seen at Ralph Lauren and Michael Kors, long, loose layers were one of the more effortless styles that we saw at NYFW. At Ralph Lauren, session stylists worked with the texture of each models’ hair, to ensure that nothing looked too done. With few products being used, the main focus was on giving the ends just a touch of separation.
At Michael Kors, hair icon Orlando Pita asked the models to sleep in damp hair the night before, so that their hair could look as natural as possible.Obviously, we’re not telling you to do the same with your clients, but there’s definitely something about this fresh take on ‘less is more’ for Spring.
Spring Brides Accessorise
One of the most talked-about SS17 shows was the beautiful Marchesa collection. The brief for the show was to work with natural texture and create two looks, depending on the models’ type of hair. Some were straight, swept back and sophisticated while others were more curly and voluminous; both looked stunning when adorned with decorative clips, and we think this trend will be huge for Spring brides.
Super Sleek
Slowly, but surely, the slicked back, almost wet-look trend is coming through to the high street, and we predict that by the time Spring rolls around, a lot more of your longer-haired clients will be happy to give this trend a go. Seen at Victoria Beckham, Carolina Herrera and Altuzarra, this look was all about slick simplicity. For Victoria Beckham’s show, the brilliant Guido Palau was in charge, and he said the key to the chic look was using heated tools, for control and of course, making the hair ultra straight. Poker straight hair has taken a back seat over the past year or so, but we predict a comeback for 2017.

Vegan and Cruelty-Free Hair and Beauty: Simple Swaps and Recommendations for Veganuary
The new year often brings a sense of renewal, self-improvement and positive change. For many, this means reducing the consumption of animal products and embracing a more compassionate lifestyle. As hair and beauty professionals, we can support and promote this growing movement by embracing vegan and cruelty-free options. However, transitioning to fully vegan products may initially seem daunting. This is why, in this post, we will explore some simple swaps you can try in January that are still highly effective and recommendations for vegan styling products and treatments to expand your offerings this Veganuary. We aim to make embracing ethical beauty approachable and attainable so you can focus on what matters most - caring for your clients with confidence and care.
Simple swaps this Veganuary
Start Small: It can be overwhelming to transition to fully vegan products overnight. One simple swap you can make is changing your hair brushes and combs to those made from natural materials such as bamboo (link to bamboo page) or wood. Not only are these products sustainable and eco-friendly, but they also help reduce static hair and promote healthy shine. Another easy swap for your salon or personal use is choosing cruelty-free and vegan nail polishes from brands like The Manicure Company. Ethically made and with an unwavering commitment to being a vegan and cruelty-free brand, Zero Gel Polish is widely available at our stores and comes in a vast array of colours. These small changes can make a big difference
