Want a new hairstyle this winter?

We have a variety of hairstyle trends to choose from. People are more open to redefining themselves with a new start and a hair transformation.

That’s why we’ve listed the most versatile hair styles that rock this winter.

• 70s Wave Shag
• The Power cut
• Curtain bangs
• The Claw clip

In selecting a hairstyle that will make you look younger, you want to consider your hair length, style, and colour. A new haircut can enhance youthful features by emphasising your cheekbones, brows, and lips.

Founder of Stanley & Co hair and hair stylist Joe Orlowski says:

“Lately, clients have been super happy to just get rid of every last remnant of their wispy, unwanted split ends.”

Talk to Joe about your goals with the new cut and he will likely have suggestions for choosing an appropriate hairstyle for your face. In the meantime, here are some hairstyles that look great this winter.

‍

‍70s Wave Shag

Feeling a little blah about your hair this winter but want to keep your length?

‍

“What about a 70 wave shag?” says Joe. “These are longer layers to add subtle, sexy movement, without going short. The 70s wave shag suits a person who wants to be on trend but their hair is more structured - it’s a chilled out version of a shag.”

‍

If you are hesitant about losing your long locks, Joe suggests to keep the length and give your hair more movement by keeping the layers, starting below your jawline to give your hair a polished and sleek look while updating your long tresses.

Care-free waves have always been a cool-girl staple, but with more women ditching heat styling, Joe says to expect an increase in air-dried waves. Effortless hair starts with a great cut, and it's crucial your stylist lay the foundation for hair that doesn't need much styling.

For those with a corporate job that want to be on trend prefer the more natural beach textured look, rather than layered short.

“When someone comes in and is nervous about changing their hair - such as getting a short fringe that’s short and straight. Or wants a shag. The rule is to use the curl and for the hair too dry naturally to accentuate the shag. Shags are easy to style with a natural curl.”

When you think of a shag - think about the movement of your hair and the use of specific products to enhance the curl.

Joe recommends Mr Smith Curl Creme

Mr Smith Curl Creme - designed to enhance natural movement and prevents frizz from humidity.

Use a 10 cent piece size depending on hair length, if you have long hair a touch more. Dry your hair naturally or you can style using heat of the hair dryer and smooth and polish at the end

The Power Cut

‍

There’s nothing more sexy than a power cut to accentuate a strong powerful woman. It can look great on androgynous people and can give you total self confidence. We find this cut quite striking and can make it almost intimidating by their perceived power - which Joe finds interesting.

This radical chop is back and we love it.

“This is my thing - I love this cut on women - to make them feel powerful. After all, we all need a lift now and then. A woman can look androgynous with a sharp cut fine detail that accentuates her face. I love how this sharp haircut on women who also wear feminine clothes it’s such a juxtaposition.” says Joe.

‍

The power cut is so versatile and gives you that youthful appearance no matter what your age. This style will bend and flex according to your diary, outfit and how you’re feeling on any given day. It’s you – with extra. It’s you – with power.

Joe recommends Mr Smith Mousse

Mr smith Mousse - dry naturally to create subtle movement.

Use a golf ball size and apply from roots to end on damp hair. You can either smooth out sleek or leave to air dry

‍

Curtain Bangs

Will you look good with curtain bangs? Sure! This look is great for most people to create high cheekbones. It softens the face but to highlight cheekbones further.

If you’re thinking about getting a shag cut but not sure, try curtain bangs first. It’s easy to cut and effortless to maintain before you fully commit to cutting all your hair. Think of curtain bangs as the beginning phase. A gentle introduction into their hair direction. This cut can work with any style and you can make your hair the focal point.

“Anyone who wants to add a bit of softness to their hair can start with curtain bangs as its easy and versatile, plus you can grow your hair out pretty quickly.”

Joe recommends Mr Smith The Foundation

Mr Smith The Foundation is a great start. Apply a 20 pence piece to the palm of the hand and gently distribute from roots to the end using a wide tooth comb. This creates and enhances root lift and give hair texture.

‍

The Claw Clip

Let’s step back into the 90s with the claw clip, the latest hair trend on TikTok. A claw clip is a two row pronged clip and you can buy them pretty much anywhere.

You can wear them with any outfit and they add effortlessness, while still remaining practical. If you're on the run, you can use them to throw your hair up and keep flyaways at bay.

"Such an easy style to do, with 100s of TikTok for tutorials. This is the ultimate Sunday morning girlfriend look. It’s like a woman wakes up tossing her curls in a claw clip and wears your loose jumper and they look so cute” says Joe, “perfect for mid to long hair.”

‍

Joe recommends Mr Smith Dry Shampoo

A claw clip that suits to your style, add Mr Smith dry shampoo and style to suit.
