Long or short bobs are the key to this season’s new hair styles according to Paul Wyatt who, along with his brother Peter, owns Jaks Hair and Beauty shops in Ryde and Newport. Paul says: “The trend for the spring is for a softer look as seen with the celebs at the awards shows. “It’s a definite move away from some of the messier, big hair that we saw on some of the catwalks last year. “Bobs can be short or long or even slightly tousled. They will always turn heads but it’s important they are in perfect condition. “That is the key to any style. A shiny head of hair will always get you noticed.” Colour also plays a big part this spring. Paul adds: “Colour is so important in hair and the leading cosmetic companies such as Wella have introduced vibrant reds and cool blondes to complement these new spring hair cuts.” And whether it’s a sleek, straight bob you’re after or one with a bit of a kink to it, the new generation of G.H.D (Good Hair Day) hair irons now make it easier to either straighten or curl hair at home for a salon effect finish.
