Men smarten up for autumn/winter
I've been chatting to some top hairdressers recently about their predictions for men's hair trends in Autumn/Winter 2010 - and the general concensus is we'll see more length, natural texture and movement on top, with an emphasis on clean lines at the sides and back.
This is what the lovely Jamie Stevens had to say:
"Men's Autumn/Winter trends will be for a strong masculine feel with movement and attitude. Moving on from last year's military short back and sides, hair is still short through the back and sides but with more length and texture incorporated into the top. This makes the cuts much more versatile, meaning the client can wear it in a conventional but cool style, or an edgy on-trend look.
Quiffs are a great example - show your clients how to wear it pushed back for work, of styled into the full quiff for a show-stopping going out style. Undercuts at the sides are in, and colour is also hot - white blondes for brave boys, or subtle lights to complement cool longer, grown-out looks."
HJ's 2009 Men's Hairdresser of the Year, Desmond Murray believes this will be the season when men really smarten up their act:
"The trend for men is to smarten up - Prada-esque man is back," Desmond told me. "We will see lots of tailored lines in hair as well as clothes. It's time for Russell Brand to step in line. The trend for Autumn/Winter is most definitely sharper, more pristine, city gent type finishes."
