Pin your ponies and chignons low if you please…
This season’s tails, tucks and chignons are best worn sleek, stylised and - most importantly - low on the nape of the neck for a finish that is fabulously pulled together. Frizz and flyaways need not apply. An excellent blowout is a must to achieve polished styles like these.

Curls, corkscrews and kinks have never been cooler!
From iterations that were full and frothy to gently rippling and liquid smooth, waves are where it’s at right now. Neither over-styled nor naturally messy, this lot felt luxe, nonchalant and suitably carefree, while session stylists experimented with textures from wet-look to high shine and everything in between.

Double up on your very best braids.
Standout braids showcased across all the fashion capitals this time around. Whether you wear this schoolgirl staple smooth and sleek, wispy and wayward or threaded with glistening jewels is entirely up to you. Just remember that - for now at least - two are almost always better than one.
