Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
CUT
“Rosie is championing shoulder-skimming hair right now with minimal layers and maximum volume,” says Errol Douglas MBE, founder and creative director at Errol Douglas London. To style this, focus on mid-lengths and use either your fingers or a curling wand for an unstructured effect.
Taylor Swift
CUT
Douglas says Taylor’s textured bob is one of London’s most requested looks. “This cut combines soft layering, framing the face and giving movement while maintaining body and thickness,” he explains. Use gels and pastes for added texture and lift, and an eye-skimming fringe is the look du jour.
Scarlett Johansson
COLOUR
The new trend: root regrowth. Whether it’s your lazy-girl beauty hack or done with intent, showing your roots has never been cooler.
Emma Stone
COLOUR
Emma Stone’s warm copper is a favourite in Hollywood. “LA is such a cool, laid-back city, and Emma is such a cool, laid-back girl, I have a lot of clients requesting her colour,” says Tracey Cunningham, owner of Meche Salon and Stone’s colourist. “In Los Angeles it’s always highlights and babylights.”
Nina Dobrev
CUT
“Hair in 2016 was light, wispy, airy, and this year it’s more structured – blunt yet still textured,” explains Riawna Capri, the Nine Zero One Salon owner who cuts Dobrev’s hair. “An asymmetrical, textured, choppy yet blunt bob gives strong focus to the face, neck and shoulders.”
Cara Delevingne
CUT
Is the lob over? “Never! It’s so versatile and flattering on so many face shapes,” explains Joey Scandizzo, creative director of Joey Scandizzo Salon in South Yarra. Wear yours with loads of texture.
