Quite often, a blow-dry can look even better on its’ second day and Penelope Cruz’s voluminous brunette hair has that look of a worn-in style. Expert Colourist, Jo Hansford advises:“To make a salon blow dry last longer put your hair into a bun right at the front of your head – as close to hair line on forehead as possible before you go to bed at night. When you take your hair down the following morning your hair will retain the great blow dry shape whilst giving you great volume around the crown of your head.”
After appearing countless times on our television screens as she supported her boyfriend, Andy Murray, throughout Wimbledon, it seemed the whole nation fell in love with Kim Sears, or more specifically, her hair. In fact, Matt Soobroy, Senior Stylist at Charles Worthington Salons reported an incredible uplift in requests for Kim Sears’ style, exceeding requests for other celebrities by over 50 per cent. Move over, Kate Middleton!
