How the Cool Girls Are Doing Their Hair

Cool girl hair starts here.

You know the look. Hair that looks good without looking like it tried too hard. A little undone, a lot of shine, and somehow even better in person.

These are the three looks we keep seeing (and doing) right now in our Subiaco and Fitzgerald Street salons.

1. The textured upstyle

Forget the slick, sprayed-down bun. The cool girl upstyle is soft, twisted and a little bit messy on purpose.

• loose twists and knots piled up high
• a few face-framing pieces left out
• texture that looks lived-in, not stiff
• looks great from every angle (and in every photo)

It’s the one for weddings, events and race days, but it works just as well for a birthday dinner.

Ask for: “A textured, undone upstyle with a few pieces out around my face.”

2. Shades of copper

If you’ve been thinking about going copper, consider this your sign. And it’s not just one shade.

• soft ginger and strawberry copper
• rich, glossy auburn
• deep cherry and plum tones for something moodier

The secret is shine. Copper looks its best when it’s glossy, and warm tones fade faster than most, so a colour-safe routine at home and a gloss between colour appointments keep it bright.

Ask for: “A warm, glossy copper that suits my skin tone, not brassy.”

3. Long and layered

Long hair, but make it move. Think soft layers that flick and bounce instead of hanging flat.

• long, face-framing layers
• a soft curtain fringe if you want one
• blended brunette and bronde tones that catch the light
• works on straight, wavy and curly hair

Best part? You keep your length, and it grows out beautifully.

Ask for: “Long layers with movement, keeping my length.”

Not sure which one’s you?

Bring your inspo pics and have a chat with your stylist. We’ll work out what suits your hair, your face shape and how much time you actually want to spend on it each morning.

The bottom line

Cool girl hair right now is soft texture, warm glossy colour and shape that moves. Take the leap and get the hair you’ve been dreaming about. Your best hair yet is just an appointment away.
