Now in its second series, HBO's groundbreaking drama, Girls, has taken TV by storm - and its stars provide a perfect example of a real-world take on hair trends.
Writer/star Lena Dunham and the rest of the cast have endured plenty of Sex and the City comparisons - four women, making their way in NYC - but the show offers a much more realistic version of how today's women wear the trends.
It's not perfectly polished, it's not always even particularly stylish - but its real, and its this realness that is making the Girls resonate so strongly with viewers.
So while some of your clients might still look to the polished perfection of Carrie and co, make sure that you don't miss out on the rest by brushing up on the looks popularised by the stars of the show.
We asked Indira Schauwecker, Toni & Guy international artistic director, for her take on the Girls gang:
"The girls have all style-bases covered in this shot at their season two premiere. I love Lena Dunham's new crop with dishevelled texture - we've been hunting for a fresh, short style poster girl to take us in to Spring/Summer 2013 and here she is!
"Zosia Mamet's twisted topknot and Allison Williams's sleek side parting are absolute classics and Jemima Kirke's hazelnut caramel blonde has me instantly reaching for the tint brush.
"Girls has been refreshing for our younger clients - a programme that centres around four different girls with a focus on real style rather than designer fashion.
"There's inspiration in there for everyone as each character has their own hair identity; from Hannah's carefree curls, Marnie's Hollywood mane; Shoshanna's safe, straight locks and Jessa's adventurous buns and braids.
"These four new lock legends had us at the opening credits. Carrie and Samantha who?"
