Rainbow Brite

Remember Rainbow Brite? Oh you're showing your age! Well, she didn't actually have rainbow hair but her horse did (she did have a pretty neat outfit though).

Recently we've noticed lots of A listers (and our super cool team and clients) experimenting with bright pops of colour. Pink, purple, yellow, green or blue - are you brave enough to try a splash of rainbow colour?

There are lots of ways to try this look and the colours can be adapted to work with your haircut, whatever the style. Try a full head colour like Katy Perry, the queen of the rainbow hue or dip your toes into the water and try some subtly positioned panels underneath your hair for a less obvious look.

What colour is your favourite?

Resort 2013: the hair

Understated hair for overstated colour. Stella McCartney resort 2013 - the models still looking hot in silly star sunnies!

So I'm just back from New York where I sat frow (that's front row to you guys) at the resort collections. I was between Anna Wintour and Giselle. What? You don't believe me? Well, if all those fashion bloggers can do it a doggie blogger can dream, right?

Seriously, whenever I can get my little paws on Claire's iPad I'm all over style.com. I thought I'd bring you a quick round up of the main hair trends from the shows.

Key looks:
1. The centre parting. Worn two ways - full and bouncy at Derek Lam or the modelesque 'I've-not-done-my-hair' look as seen at Stella McCartney and Alexander Wang. This look actually needs to be styled (but more on that soon).

2. Fun colour - pastels and brights. All over colour as seen at Chanel, or in slices, panels or dip dye (yes, this one's sticking around for a bit longer) if a full head isn't for you. There are so many ways to incorporate colour into your look. I'll be doing a colour special soon, don't miss it!

3. Fringes - the full, chunky, block fringe is back but doesn't work for everyone. Your stylist will tailor the perfect fringe for your hair type and face shape, updating your look instantly.

What's your favourite resort look?

Loose waves and centre partings at Alexander Wang

Fun pastels and block fringes at Chanel

ECA Fashion Show 2012

We're so proud to be the official hairdresser for one of the city's biggest annual fashion events - the Edinburgh College of Art Fashion Show. The fashion and performance costume students show their collections they've spent the past year working tirelessly on. It's bursting at the seams with the new breed of Scotland's fashion talent and never fails to impress. We love the buzz of being part of it and finally have some backstage snaps to share with you.

The ECA is the only Scottish art school whose grads are invited to debut at London Graduate Fashion Week, which is massive testament to the standards of work being produced. Hats off indeed.

Our Creative Senior Stylist Ryan McCreadie developed the hair for the show and was inspired by the 90s pony tails (or topsy tails to some of you). This is a simple look that works well for a fashion show as the models change outfits so quickly that more complicated styles can end up looking tired very quickly.

To recreate it, put your hair into a pony tail then feed the hair back through behind the elastic giving a 40s roll feel. He then added texture and a little swing to the length using conical wavers to curl the hair.

Toolkit: Paddle brush and covered elastic bands, a little Sebastian Craft Clay to rough up the ends and create a contrast to the smooth finish on top.
