Use the latest tools to create gorgeous texture
With high-profile celebrities embracing texture and curl, clients also want hair to be flirty and fun. A variety of electrical tools on the market mean that stylists can create looks using tongs, wands, diffusers and straighteners to give multi-textured styles that add an extra dimension to dos.
Tousled and Teased
One of the biggest looks in the trend for movement and texture is a beachy, Bardot style that is loose and lovely. Fashion queen Kate Moss and new fashion darling Nicola Roberts wear the trend well and the deconstructed look adds interest to longer lengths. Perfect for girls who don't want to look too 'done' or stars who want a more relaxed finish on the red carpet.

Modern Glamour Waves
A favourite at red-carpet events, side-swept glamourous waves have been seen on girl-of-the-moment Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and a softer version is worn by Kate Middleton. It's a chic style that harks back to the golden era of Hollywood when Veronica Lake smouldered on the silver screen. Looser and messier versions can be spotted on younger stars such as Cher Lloyd who give the classic style a rock 'n' roll twist with attitude.

Short and Sweet
Clients don't need longer lengths to enjoy the trend for movement. Tools can be used to flick and fluff up shorter styles. Celebrities like Helen Mirren and Milla Jovovich add interest to bobs with subtle waves for a sexy finish. Even choppy crops, worn by Halle Berry, can be given a boost with the use of tongs or irons to separate styles, giving them an interesting edge.
