Party hair
The downside up chignon is the perfect '50s-inspired glam look, says Emiliano Vitale, and one that’s sure to stand out without making you feel overdressed.
“To take it another step further, create a barrel-like fringe by creating the downside up chignon,” he says.
“On the rest of the hair set the ends on smaller rollers and lightly tease once dry – just perfect for that individual winter afternoon look.”

Two colour roads
There are two roads to travel with colour for Winter 2008, says Vitale.
“The
dark road is filled with dark chocolates, rich caramels and
honey-inspired golds, perfect for dark blondes through to dark
brunettes. This is rich, indulgent and really is about a fullness to
colour. It is about hair shine, health and full body hair colour.”
The light road is about mixing and matching colour palettes for all blondes. “Think
of candy, ice cream sodas, strawberry smoothies, banana splits,” Vitale
says. “This is really for blondes who want to create some interest
without losing their highlighted look.”
By adding contrast
underneath the parting and crown, women can create an original and
personal look that won’t take years to grow out, he adds. “Because
it lies well below the parting it just appears from nowhere – perfect
for winter. You can also hit it with some of the dark road palette for
a little more interest.”

Winter hair care
In
winter, your hair suffers as much as your skin does, says Dale Dorning, thanks to harsher weather, heating and cold and warm extremes.
Indulging in regular
treatments to repair dry and damaged hair is recommended, he says, before suggesting the following PPS Hairwear treatments to repair and replenish
hair through winter: PPS Active Treatment, PPS Double Fixx Colour Lock
and PPS D Fuse Mask Treatment.
Excessive exposure to heat and
moisture will also encourage frizz, Dorning adds. Fight frizz with PPS Hairwear’s D Frizz range, he says, and finishing products like PPS
Hot Iron Top Coat: “It contains an anti-humectant to help reduce frizz
and is great for giving your hair a glossier, shinier finish.”
