Nicky Clarke Hair Trends - Girls

Fabulous Fringes

With lengths from mid-brow to long-to-the-lashes, blunt-cut fringes are seasonal essentials. Adding focus and framing to gorgeous smoky eyes and a slightly sixties retro flavour, fringes are just fabulous.

Boyish Crops

Elfin, sexy and an androgynous way these ultra-cool crops are the brave fashion look for Autumn/Winter and should be approached with caution, although for the right face shape the effect can be dazzling – and the look surprisingly adaptable.

Low Side Partings

To create definition and that fashionably boyish look a Low Side Parting can transform layers for a slick evening style – or on shorter cuts can offer a stylish take on a decadent 30’s meets 70’s vibe.

Shortie Bobs

The shortest, sharpest take on a classic bob brings the cross-seasonal bob trend to its latest incarnation. Blended with strong, block colours the definition of the Shortie Bob says ‘statement hair’ in a youthful and edgy way.

Long, Luscious Layers

Classic mid-length or longer layers will never date, and are a Nicky Clarke signature style. Dressed slightly looser - with body and bounce built-in to the max - for a soft, sexy and ultra-flattering look.

Retro Waves

Mermaid waves, 40’s inspired with an old-skool Hollywood flavour are brought bang up to date with the addition of some distressed texture and a peekaboo-blunt fringe.

Wrapped Braids

Every season someone shows plaits as the new way forward for party-season looks and this year is no exception. However, loose braids wrapped around the head are the only way to go. It’s sophisticated and sexy and there’s nothing 70’s or ‘ethnic’ about it!

Textures

Softer, more flyaway looks compete with super-slick and glossy gelled boyish finishes for favour. Body and bounce play a key strategic role in many looks, while even ironed looks should maintain movement and flow. Control is key.

Colours

Icy platinum blonde and richest, darkest chocolate are the fashionistas choices, while less brave mortals should opt for warm, honey blondes and rouge-tipped or sunkissed browns.

Nicky Clarke Hair Trends - Boys

Fringe-forward

Push it forward and frame your face. Fringed are a seasonal essential for the girls and it’s a similar story for boys too. Add a bit of easy texure and you’ve got the look covered. Make sure you get the balance right between ‘messy’ and stylish.

Slick-back and sides

Nicky Clarke - Hollywood style icons are going back to super-chic classic barbered, polished and preened looks for men. If it’s good enough for Mssrs Clooney and Pitt, it has to be worth thinking about for you!

Low Side Partings

Whether you opt for a tailored and barbered look or a looser, 60’s inspired style think about changing your parting and dropping it low on the side. It’s an age-old styling trick, but it works a treat and manages to look remarkably contemporary.

80’s Rockstar

The simple rule is if you’re too young to have been there first time around you can go for this zany, on-trend look. Think short, blasted to a pom-pom bouffant and dressed with masses of styling products. Go for it!

Textures

Be it super-slick, rough-dried or blasted for volume... its all about playing with textures for guys this season.

Colours

More and more men are making the move to add a bit of colour to their style and are looking much better for it! Fashion-bravehearts can go for block-colour ash blonde, chocolate or jet black. However, for most guys it’s more about subtler enhancements and rolling back the years...
