If you've been flirting with the idea of changing your hairstyle, now is the perfect time to switch it up.
After all, a new season is fast approaching, fresh looks are emerging and inspiration is abundant.
In order to provide you with some guidance amid the onslaught of options, we consulted some of Australia's leading hairdressers to get their expert takes on the trending cuts, colours and styles for summer 2020. So, if you fancy a new 'do, keep scrolling for (and prepare to screenshot) the 'it'-looks of the coming season.
Byron Turnbull, Co-Founder and Director of Goldie Sydney:
"If you can't make up your mind over whether to go light or dark for summer, 'bronde' is for you. A warm and glossy look, the main benefits of this hair colour are that it's achievable and low-maintenance, keeping hair super healthy while offering light and shade for pops of colour and brightness."
Anthony Nader, Salon Owner and Creative Director at RAW Anthony Nader:
"An asymmetrical bob with a solid baseline showcases healthy thick ends and you can wear this either poker straight or with a wave. Try changing your part line to deep side part for added drama or [go for] that ever-contemporary, strict centre part."
Joey Scandizzo, Co-Creative Director of ELEVEN Australia:
"This is a really '70s approach to texture. [It's about] creating the same movements through the mid-lengths and ends but instead of a drier finish, using softer, more pliable products with a gloss finish. Poppy Delevingne and Margot Robbie do this so well, with irregular twists or plaits that add interest and a mix of textures. This looks great with soft blondes and muti-tonal shades in neutral, high-shine glossy colours."
Barney Martin, Owner & Director of Barney Martin Hair:
"[We'll see] a new love affair with gel. This is brilliant for fixing low, sleek ponies for a minimalist look. Cue: wet look, slicked back finishes with a 'more is more' approach to gel. The high-shine and no-stray pieces really pare back with the luxe finishing."
