5 Ways to Update Your Look For Autumn

Are you in the mood for a change? Evolving your look with the season is a great place to start. 

The look and feel of our hair can make a huge difference to our sense of wellbeing and confidence. Bad hair days can leave us feeling out of sorts and nothing dulls your hair’s shine quicker than feeling blue.

So, what better time to switch up your style than as we move into Autumn months. As our wardrobes change, our hair should too.

With so many images to choose from when it comes to hair, beauty and fashion online, it’s hard to know where to start. 

At Blushes, we’re all about tailoring the trends you like and tweaking the process, so the final product is entirely unique to you. For us, it all starts with Hair ID. Our simple 5 step consultation that’s designed to identify a hairstyle that suits you in every way.

When freshening up your look a few simple alterations can make a big difference and with the Autumn season upon us, it’s the perfect time to take a step forward and embrace change.

So, let’s take a look at 5 ways to update your look and re-energise both you and your hair this Autumn.

1. Style of the Season: The Bob

This Autumn is all about the Bob. It’s a timeless and versatile style that works for every face shape and age. As the necklines in our winter outfit choices rise, such as roll necks, chunky knits and scarves, a well thought out bob can really elevate your entire look heading into the colder months.

The versatility of the cut opens up style opportunities to all face shapes. Blushes can help you choose the right length to fit your face shape by booking in for one of our Hair ID consultations. Just like a dress or a skirt, the mini, midi and maxi variation in length can create a totally different feeling.

2. Uplift with some Babylights

You don’t need a complete change of colour to freshen up your style and get a whole new look. A few carefully placed babylights add brightness and beautifully frame your face. 

But what are babylights? At Blushes, our colourists use a fine weave technique to introduce subtle, lighter shades through the front of your hair. 

It’s a great way for your hair to carry a brighter, sun-kissed look through the winter.

3. Hair is like a Fabric

Applying heat and home colouring your hair on a regular basis causes damage and change its structure. In fact, you may not be anywhere close to the natural texture of your hair.

Leaving your hair to air dry with no products can also cause damage and just like skin, UV rays, pollution and the elements can all affect the condition of your hair.

One way we treat damaged hair is with specialist conditioning treatments, like our in-salon Olaplex treatment. Olaplex is the only system that works on a molecular level to repair damaged and broken bonds in the hair. Turning dry, brittle hair into soft, shiny and resilient hair.

You can ask for an Olaplex treatment to be added on to your cut or colour appointment, or book it as a stand-alone treatment to feel the benefits for up to 6 weeks.

4. Back To Cool

With the change in season, it’s time to tone down unwanted Summer brassiness. A subtle change to the tone of your hair will instantly brighten your complexion and make your eye colour pop. 

If you’re not sure what tone would suit you best, book a free Hair ID appointment at a salon near you. Our Hair ID experts use a colour cape to showcase the perfect tone for you. You’ll be able to instantly see whether warmer or cool tones elevate or drain your overall look. 

5. Switch Up Your Products

We choose face moisturisers based on our skin type and our hair is no different. For those that have an oily complexion, it’s best to use a lightweight moisturiser that compliments the natural condition of our skin. When recommending professional hair care, the approach is the same.

For example, if you’re looking to nourish colour damaged hair, we’d recommend the Kerastase Discipline range. Or more specifically, for those who want to keep their blonde locks looking healthy and vibrant then the Blond Absolu is a must-have. 

All of our team have the expert knowledge and education needed to match your hair type with the perfect product range. If you want to learn more about your hair type, a complimentary Hair ID appointment will tell you everything you need to know or simply ask a member of our team who can recommend the perfect range for you.
