Hair How-To: Polished Dreadlocks
A little bit glamour, a little bit grunge – this season's matted hair texture takes inspiration from hippie dreadlock styles, and gives a fresh look to summer hair.
Think full-on dreadlocks at Etro, matte hair at Lanvin, or just lots of texture at Balmain and Preen.
Like with the candyfloss hair trend, this summer, the polished dreadlocks look is about working with the natural texture of the hair, as oppose to creating an overly fake, super shiny look.

Hair How To: Easy Sexy Beach Hair
Hair trends are one thing – from the polished dreadlocks and pirate plaits on the catwalks, to retro styles, like Victoria Beckham's Audrey Hepburn do – but what we all really crave is effortlessly sexy hair, that looks like it's naturally gorgeous – not like we've had to try too hard to re-create it.
Cue the covetable, grown-up version of beach hair. Textured, yet glossy and voluminous, it's the sort of laidback, tousled look that Kates Moss, Middleton and Beckinsale, are often snapped with.
Trend Alert: 90's Beauty is Back
While we're basking in the tongue-in-cheek quirkiness of the 80's revival, (think scrunchies and big hair) the 90's renaissance is creeping up on us slowly but surely. Take The Wackness for example, or the recent comeback of 90's supermodels Linda Evangelista (the new face of Prada) and Claudia Schiffer who is fronting the Chanel campaign this season.
The Soft Goth look, which is essentially an 80's style, was revived in the 90's with bands like the Nine Inch Nails.
Trend Alert: Crimped Hair
In the wake of all the beauty chat about matte hair and polished dreadlocks, it's not surprising that the hair style of our school days is back – yes, crimping is the latest retro, 80s trend on the block, alongside scrunchies and head scarves.
Designers from Luella to Julien Macdonald, showed models sporting often oversize, big, crimped hair, for next season.
At Luella, the school-girl crimped hair was teamed with Goth Glam, dark punk makeup, for the coolest-girl-in-sixth-form vibe.

The man behind this trend is hairdresser Guido Palau.
Love It or Hate It? Jennifer Aniston
Messy hair – with plenty of polished dreadlock-style texture, or candyfloss hair fluff, has been on our radar for a while now.
However, it's interesting that Jennifer Aniston – who pioneered the glossy, super-straight, girl-next-door hair, has taken this new trend on board.
Her dark blonde hair is looking crimped, wavy, and slightly fluffy as she leaves a restaurant in LA.
