seeks advice from the biggest names in hair to discover the timeless styles still turning heads
“Hair is your ultimate fashion accessory,” says top hairdresser Charles Worthington. “Take time to learn all the tricks of the trade from your stylist to maintain and change your look.”
It’s the enduring styles that underpin the kind of hair we request at the salon time and time again.
The secret of an iconic hair look? Last year’s winner Akin Konizi believes it has to be “beautiful, suitable and well-executed – these three factors will make sure that your hairstyle looks good in any decade”.
Ultimate timeless hairstyle: “The bob – every year it comes back in a slightly new way. I think the reason for its popularity is that it suits most women, be it short, mid-length or long. Gwyneth Paltrow, Kiera Knightley and Lily Collins have all looked amazing with bobs.”
“Always invest in a good haircut. .”
Ultimate timeless hairstyle: “The bob, without doubt. From ancient Egyptian times, Vidal Sassoon’s 5-point cut, right through to Victoria Beckham’s Pob, the bob in some form will always be in fashion.”
“I always show clients how to quickly and effectively dry the roots of the hair first. Using a vent or paddle brush, smooth away difficult kinks and frizz by moving the brush from side to side whilst applying heat.”
Ultimate timeless hairstyle: “As much as I admire signature looks like Anna Wintour’s bob, for me, a freer, movable haircut works better.”
“Get the best haircut for your hair type, aspiration and lifestyle.”
Ultimate timeless hairstyle: “The Bardot has remained a current look throughout the decades. Kate Moss carries off the look with effortless style.”
“Always go with a style that works with your hair texture and face shape, but above all, go with a style that fits your personality.”
