It’s been a long, cold winter, hasn’t it? Thank goodness that spring is here
The latest edition of 4-You takes a look at all the newest styles for 2010 to give you inspiration for the warmer months ahead
The crop is back with a vengeance and is perfect if you want to spring clean your look for the new season. Asymmetry is key to 2010’s short styles, for a fun and funky look with rock-star attitude and bags of sass and sex appeal
Or if short’s not your thing, take your pick from the many longer styles on the fashion radar
And boys, remember, long gone are the days when you could get away with getting out of bed and leaving your mop to its own devices. Of course, if it’s styled to look that way, that’s fine but grooming is more important than ever for men. Visit the latest issue of 4Men for ideas on what to go for if you’re looking for a hair overhaul and tips on how to achieve and maintain your style
We also look at the hottest celebrities around - guys included - and spotlight their looks, bringing you the secrets to help you steal their style
We also have some special features in this issue
We continue our 'Get The Look' series with details of how to recreate the Cheryl Cole look using hair and makeup products available at many of the Forresters salons. You can also still see how to recreate the Emma Watson look
In our new 'Forresters Focus' series we look at some of the treatments available at our beauty salon. Salon Tanning, Wedding Day Make Up & the Crystal Clear microdermabrasion treatments
So read on to find out what looks are getting us all hot under the collar this season…
Chop Slicks
Update your do for spring with a slick and sassy short style
Long layers on top create a sexy look, while keeping it short at the back is totally on-trend
Make like The Saturdays’ Frankie Sandford (see our Hot Celebrity Hair Dos section for a run-down of Frankie’s style) and go for a daring asymmetric look that is so fashion-forward it hurts
Crops look fresh and modern and celebrate femininity. Add a La Roux-inspired quiff for rock star chic, brush it forward over the forehead for contemporary style, slick it into a side-swept fringe for a playful, foxy look or copy Halle Berry’s choppy crop for a classic take
Volume at the crown is key to each of these looks. Then, simply team with a pair of geek chic glasses for an up-to-the-minute effect
Ring The Changes
For so long, the only look for long hair has been messy, unstructured waves but that’s all set to change
Coiffed curls are currently where it’s at. The likes of Cheryl Cole and Cat Deeley have all been sporting uber-styled tresses for some time so take a leaf out of their books and go for all-out glamour
Ringlets are the perfect antidote to bed head hair and look simultaneously innocent and sexy
Glossy locks are important so make sure you use a deep conditioner like TIGI S-Factor Serious Conditioner to get your hair in tip-top condition before styling with TIGI Bed Head Some Like It Hot Serum and finishing with Catwalk by TIGI Your Highness Weightless Shine Spray
Bob-Bob-Bobbing Along
Keep it sleek, chic and mid-length for the most up-to-date version of the classic bob
Use a serum like TIGI S-Factor Silky Smooth Moisture Serum to tame flyaways and to keep hair straight and frizz-free then part at the side for a soft and feminine take
Add a brow-skimming fringe for a contemporary feel
Va Va Volume
As well as paying close attention to styling, Cheryl Cole is also an advocate of volume
For Cheryl, it’s the bigger the better. To boost flagging tresses, use volumising products that lift at the roots and build bounce and body into your style
Choose products that won’t weigh the hair down - mousse is great. Check out the fantastic range of TIGI products available in Forresters salons. If you’re after pop star style, add volume with a few well-placed extensions
At Forresters, we use Racoon Hair Extensions. Book in for your complimentary consultation
Undone
The undone look works best on mid-length hair right now
Television presenter Alexa Chung is the queen of undone, bed-head tresses and while she always looks stunning, she never looks like she’s tried too hard
Hair is simple with a relaxed feel but with plenty of texture
Use a texturising product such as TIGI Love Peace Planet Eco Freako Cherry Almond Texturizer and smooth the ends with a TIGI S-Factor Smoothing Lusterizer to recreate this covetable look
X X Long
Who doesn’t love long luscious locks?
It’s not always that easy to grow them, though, so get some help with some Racoon extensions if you’re set on super-length tresses
Whether you like tumbling, ladylike waves, loose, textured tresses, straight and even lengths or body-boosting layers, anything goes. Peep through a long, heavy fringe for a super-sultry take
Ask for a free consultation in-salon to find out what Racoon hair extensions can do for you
The updo has been gradually making a comeback over the past few seasons so spring’s Trends To Try is staging a celebration of the most elegant way to wear your hair with a focus on contemporary ways to interpret this classic style
Dramatic
A gravity-defying do will certainly ensure all eyes are on you but make sure you save it for a black tie affair
You’ll make maximum impact when you can team it with a dramatic floor-length gown
To achieve an elaborate style that stays put, use plenty of product (try TIGI Rockaholic Groupie Texturizing Spray Pomade or TIGI Bed Head Superstar Queen for a Day Thickening Spray) for an injection of volume and to make hair workable then fix with lashings of TIGI Bed Head Maxxed Out Massive Hold Hairspray
Romantic
Want a more natural look? Tie hair up loosely and pull out a few sections at the front to frame the face with soft waves for a romantic look that’s just right for the season
Show off a pretty face and gorgeous eyes with a style that is swept up and back off the face
Volume at the crown is key, so use a root-lifting product for body that won’t flatten through the day
Classic
Finally, elegance never dates so go for a classic take on the look with a simple but glamorous style, parted neatly in the centre and pulled into the nape of the neck and secured
Brazen Blonde
This season, blonde hair is far from subtle
Sparkling golden shades that reflect the light to create a glistening halo are what it’s all about
Think vanilla tones right the way through to caramel hues
Flame Red
With flame-haired Florence Welch the toast of the music world, there’s never been a better time to go red
Fiery ladies can choose from almost any shade in the red spectrum so whether it’s carrot, copper or auburn that floats your boat, go ahead and take the plunge!
The Dark Side
Fashion is having an ebony moment
The hottest brunette shades are dark and mysterious, although you’ll need to keep locks in prime condition if you want your shade to continue looking dazzlingly shiny and healthy, especially if you over-use heated appliances
Use a shampoo specially formulated for coloured hair tailored to your chosen shade and condition regularly
Try TIGI S-Factor’s Colour Savvy range
