I’m not sure why but the word ‘layers’ sends shivers up and down my spine – and I don’t think I’m the only one. Not long ago, it was all about all-one-length blunt-cut bobs. Now? We’re making layers great again. Let me introduce you to The Shag. You’ll have seen it around – on cool girls, models, musicians (think Alexa Chung). The Shag is effortlessly cool, worn … [Read more...] about ‘The Shag’ is the 70s-style haircut of our dreams

Pantone’s 2020 Colour of the Year is already inspiring our hair
Pantone have called it, yet again; the colour of the year is *drumroll please* Classic Blue.
