Clients ready for a new year makeover? Here are three quick and easy 2015 hair trends to trial, by celebrity stylist

The Bob
After being hugely successful in 2014, the bob's popularity continues to grow and is still showing signs of being the number one hairstyle for 2015. With celebrities like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Alexa Chung wearing the look, it's perfect for every occasion.
Length: Start with having shorter layers on the crown of the head with long side swept bangs flowing past the length of your choice. If you are aiming for a completely new look, have the hair cut to just below chin length.
Style: While the hair is still damp, use a volume spray and coat the hair – this will keep the shape of your hair throughout the day while showing off the texture of the bob. A quick five-minute blow dry should be all it takes to complete the look.
Know your hair: For those with curly hair, added layers should be cut into the bob. This will ensure the hair does not gain unwanted volume. For naturally thin hair, add fewer layers to the crown to give the illusion of volume and lift.
Top Tip: The bob can be a huge change for women who have had long hair all their life. A popular precaution to take before having the bob is to pin up the hair in the shape of the desired bob for a bit of a trial.
The Fringe
If clients want a change but don't feel like going for the full-on chop, then a fringe is the way forward. Even though it's an easy hairstyle, it works wonders if you want to get out of your everyday style. Plus, it looks great with all hair lengths.
Length: One of the best things about a fringe is that it can highlight different parts of your face. Wearing a thick, heavy fringe can help you to hide a longer forehead, whereas a face-framed fringe helps to create the illusion of more defined cheek bones.
Style: For the best results, make sure clients get a fringe trim regularly. Nothing looks better than healthy and shiny hair.
Know your hair: If hair tends to get greasy quite quickly or clients just don't have enough time to wash it, make sure you send them off with a dry shampoo. After spraying, brush through the hair and fringe thoroughly and they should be ready to go
Top Tip: If clients suffer from blemishes, show them how to use a large round brush while blow-drying their fringe – it will help to keep hair off the skin as much as possible. A tiny bit of hairspray is useful too as it keeps the hair from soaking any excess oils.
Sleek Centre Partings
Clients looking for a really simple and cheap way of getting a makeover? All you need to change is the way they part their hair.
Length: If a client's face is oval or heart-shaped, a slick centre parting will narrow it significantly. Just like the fringe it works beautifully with both long and short hair.
Style: A centre parting will always look smart and elegant. For a more playful look, create light waves to go with it.
Know your hair: Centre partings have been making a comeback over the past couple of seasons and this year it will be huge. There are so many ways to wear it – from a natural look to a more defined style. If you’re not a fan of the sleek look, try lifting the roots with your fingertips while blow-drying for a more lived-in finish.
Top Tip: Clients heading for a few cocktails straight after work? Just tie your hair back in an elegant low ponytail and you’re ready to go!
