SUMMER STYLES BY ANDREW COLLINGE THE PURE COLLECTION: SUMMER STYLES BY THE ANDREW COLLINGE CREATIVE TEAM The arrival of the sun can cause havoc on our everyday style, however, striking the perfect balance between chic and comfortable doesn’t have to be difficult this summer. To help clients get the best from their hair, the Andrew Collinge Creative Team recently put together The Pure Collection, a lookbook of styles for Summer 2017. The collection takes inspiration from the looks we’ve seen on the catwalks and presents a selection of modern hairstyles that can easily be replicated at home. KELSEY • • • Hair by Andrew Collinge Creative Team Makeup Liz Collinge Photography Alex Barron-Hough Recent fashion week collections saw a clear shift towards the undone finish and natural texture is enjoying a revival this summer. With this in mind, our stylists worked with the natural texture of the hair, encouraging and enhancing its curl, wave and movement. The collection has been influenced by the 80’s in so much as the hair has been dried more naturally, working with the fingers rather than brushes. FLORENTINA Pastel shades are a key colour trend for summer and each look in the Pure Collection has been complimented with a palette of soft pastel colours, luminous semi-permanents and carefully placed highlights. Florentina’s hair has been coloured with a light peachy-copper shade leaving it with a soft, warm finish. Her short hairstyle was given a multi-textured cut and finish and a soft asymmetric fringe was created. KELSEY For those with naturally curled hair, it’s never been a better time to embrace your curls. Kelsey has natural curls that have been layered and slightly graduated. A styling mousse was then worked through the hair which was finger dried using a diffuser. A gel serum was then applied to define the curl. The colour choice for Kelsey enhances the natural texture of her hair whilst the soft palette of the shades chosen, add a romantic feeling to the finished look.
