KNOW

WHAT’S REAL

Some celebs change

their haircut as often as they

update their wardrobe, but

realise that some of the big

statement changes are, in fact,

wigs. ‘Kendall uses clip-in

extensions,’ says Colombini.

‘Kylie uses extensions as well,

but she also plays with wigs.’

So if you want to play with

length, consider faking it – at

least until you’re sure about a

drastic change. ‘If you want

to go a little bit shorter or a

little bit longer with your

hair, then experiment with

extensions,’ says Colombini.

‘You can take them out

and your hair is still

there and hasn’t

been touched.’

KNOW YOUR

STYLING LIMITS

It’s no good asking your

hairdresser for a directional

haircut if you’re not able to style

it yourself. If you want an easy-

care cut, you can go two ways,

says Martin: relaxed or precision.

‘A great haircut with minimal

styling is an unstructured bob,’

says Martin. ‘This can be tended

to at home with dry shampoo for

texture and boost, and sea salt

spray for that done but undone

THE ASYMMETRIC

UNDERCUT

It’s not one hair

cut but three

blended together,

says Colombini,

who recently

performed the

shoulder-length

style on Kendall

Jenner. ‘It’s a bit

longer at the

front,’ he says.

‘The underneath

hair is shorter,

then each section

drops a little bit

longer to really

make the hair

sw i ng.’

look.’ Or go the opposite route

with a meticulous chop: ‘a strong-

lined precision cut always remains

styled.’ But just be prepared to

rebook your cutter often. ‘You

need frequent top-up trips to

keep the blunt finish blunt and

not frayed,’ warns Martin.
