The New Bob

It’s meant to be a classic cut but the bob has been re-jigged for Winter 2010, making it one of the most versatile styles around. Worn longer and less pristinely-coiffed, it looks fresh and contemporary. There are no hard and fast rules – fringes, waves, flicks, side and centre partings all look hot – but work with the hair’s natural texture for a playful look. Volume at the crown is a must. Use a texturizing product such as TIGI BED HEAD SMALL TALK 3-in-1 Thickifier, Energiser, Stylizer to add body and tease your hair into a super-hot take on a timeless cut.

On The Fringes

A fringe gives your tired hairstyle an instant update. Wear it messy with dishevelled lengths for a sexy, fashion-forward take or neat and swept to the side for a sophisticated edge. Blunt styles still look very now but less structured and long, sweeping styles can be softer and more flattering. Whatever option you go for, a fringe will overhaul your look and pull you out of the hair doldrums! For sleek styles, use a smoothing product like TIGI S-FACTOR Smoothing Lusterizer Defrizzer & Tamer and shine spray. We like TIGI BED HEAD BRUNETTE GODDESSShine Spray for a glassy finish.For mussed-up styles, use TIGI ROCKAHOLIC PUNK OUT Molding Gunk to create a full, textured, on-trend fringe.

Going For The Chop

Short hairstyles are directional. Bold and fresh, you’ll stand out from the crowd with a confidence-oozing crop. Undercuts are cool and look both sexy and sassy teamed with heavy side-parted fringes and asymmetric cuts. Use TIGI ROCKAHOLIC ROCKTASTIC Hardcore Spray Gel to sculpt your sweet shortie into shape for maximum impact. Short hair this season is far from boyish; styles are strong and sensual and drip with an irresistible attitude. Pump up the volume with a body-building shampoo such as TIGI BED HEAD SUPERSTAR Sulfate-Free Shampoo for Thick Massive Hair, style, then spray with TIGI BED HEAD MAXXED OUT Massive Hold Hair Spray to keep in place. Spritz with shine spray for super healthy-looking locks.

Mid Magic

Mid-length hairstyles are far from boring. They’re cute, they’re sexy and give oodles of understated glamour. A mid-length style is the perfect mix of sexiness and attitude. Ask your hairdresser for some layers to encourage your hair’s natural kinks, flicks and waves for added movement and the coolest take on this length. Try using TIGI ROCKAHOLIC GROUPIE Texturizing Spray Pomade for definition and hold.

The Long and the Short of it

Layers through longer hairstyles are perfect for encouraging movement – a look that is so now – and taking the weight out of thick hair while adding life to fine tresses. Part in the centre for a natural vibe or wear with a shattered or sweeping fringe for a more polished look. It’s important to keep long lengths in tip-top condition because frankly, split ends suck, so use a deep conditioning treatment once a week, like TIGI S-FACTOR SERIOUS CONDITIONER with Sunflower Seed Oil and a heat protection spray such as TIGI S-FACTOR FLAT IRON SPRAY Heat Defender when using heated styling tools.

Wave Hello

Wonderful waves are über-glam. Pull some of the front sections back and secure then leave the rest for sexy, tumbling tresses. Promote curl and eliminate frizz with the right products. TIGI BED HEAD FOXY CURLS Extreme Curl Mousse will activate curls, while a hydrating shampoo like TIGI BED HEAD FOXY CURLS Frizz-Fighting Sulfate-Free Shampoo will infuse the hair with moisture to ensure hair looks natural and healthy. For pre-Raphaelite perfection, part in the centre and tong sections of hair, ensuring you spray with a heat protection product beforehand. Run your fingers through curls to loosen and separate then spritz with hairspray for hold and to help guard against frizz.
