Cut, crop, colour

In hairstyles, Spring/Summer 2010 is laidback, fuss-free and geometric:
The fashion forecast for hairstyles in Spring/ Summer 2010 looks bright, sunny and toned down, with a possibility of fun. Like other things, in hair trends too, we can expect some carryovers from last season. The fringe, the biggest comeback star last season, continues. “This time though, it will be fringes that sit well on the face. They're a little more finer and something that can be pulled back and clipped,” says Najeeb-ur-Rehman, national technical head, Schwarzkopf Professional.
As a departure from the very ‘in' bob, the focus is on mid to longer length hair. “The colours are more wearable – earthy tones like browns, beiges, neutralised blond,” he says. “One will also see partial highlights in tones of red,” adds Rehman.
In hair colouring, while it's usually a choice between streaks and global colouring, this time it's the best of both worlds. “Instead of streaking we are doing geometrical sections, which will be characterised by the highlighting of particular sections,” says the hair expert.
Part II of Schwarzkopf's ongoing winter collection comprises four looks – New Romance (a 40s-inspired collection. Read soft curls and old Hollywood glamour), 80s Luxe, Out of Shape (asymmetrical, new-age) and The Dark Amazons (a Goth-inspired look).
“In hair cuts the dual look is in, between casual and semi-formal. It's more sporty, more handy,” is his verdict.

Curl trouble

Curl trouble:
Hair turns curly after a shower or when exposed to moisture. Points to remember…
*Do not comb or brush vigorously
*Do not tie wet hair; or tightly when dry
*Sprinkle water on hair before applying leave-on conditioner
*To tackle curls, use Velcro rollers after sprinkling water on hair, and steam with a shower cap on.

Dull hair

Dull hair:
 Humidity can turn hair sticky, limp and dull; remember the following.
*Avoid excessive use of hair dryer and hair styling products
*Apply a few drops of serum for setting hair, to help with broken ends. It also works as a conditioner
*Henna applied to hair roots helps
* A mild conditioner after shampooing makes dull hair healthy

Hair fall

Hair fall:
Humidity results in profuse perspiration on the scalp.
This leads to itching, weakening of hair and ultimately hair fall. Try these…
* Wash hair regularly
*Keep short hair for more oxygen and easy maintenance
*Apply oil to hair and wrap it with a hot towel
* Avoid chemicals, dyes and hair dryer
*Give rest to the body
