Hair Trends 2018
Healthy hair has been on trend for a while and this continues, as does natural looking hair. So spend a little more time on the TLC to ensure it is in good condition and show it off with these simple suggestions to have effortlessly beautiful hair in 2018.
COLOUR
Pantone’s Colour of the Year has been announced as Ultra Violet. Whilst we are not planning on introducing a purple to our colour chart, this will work well with blondes and brunettes as a complimentary colour so we are looking forward to seeing some extensionists play with colour more this year.
Keep your eyes peeled at festival-season and next winter, as we will definitely be seeing more of this hue.
Selena Gomez recently went blonde and this trendsetter is already leading to enquiries for this look. Keep your roots and opt for a warm blonde like our Iced Pearl to help keep the volume and hold the style.
ACCESSORIES
Well good dressed hair deserves a treat too. So add some embellishments and try to make them gold of course! Barrette clips are in.
Think back to the SS18 catwalk and big hair bands were in with Channel and many more. Think back to Blair Waldorf for some style inspiration.
STYLING
Buns will be big in 2018, and even your looped pony can be called a bun. But get creative and try something like this from Preen with 3 different plaits to add texture and interest to your style. We still can’t resist plaits!

ALL THAT HAIR AVANT GARDE CREATIONS UNVEALED
Last month’s All That Hair show was the launch of our new luxury Gold Class Clip-In range and our founder, Inanch Emir, stunned us with her avant garde creations. Most of the looks worked with these clip-ins, so let’s take a closer look at just how she created these incredible creations…
Left to right:
Imogen: Working with a spider frame, Inanch plaited hair to cover the shape with basket weave. Three Clip-Ins were added for uber-volume for hair to tumble down with the spider-legs dangling over the top.
‘The Basket Cases’ – Charlotte: her hair was plaited from her parting into a wide triangle to secure the hair, donuts were applied to the sides of her head with Clip Ins covering this, before crimping her own hair and securing into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck.
Jess: Starting with the flat sheets of hair, Inanch ripped sections to form individual tulip shapes with gold glitter centres. A clip in added length and volume for blending when backcombed to the tulips.
‘The Pirate Hats’ Anastasia: the spectacular sculptures wrapped in hair and with Clip Ins draped to flow and move with the model’s movement.
‘Twelve Twists’ – Laura: Twirling long hair extensions into twelve twists onto a head piece sitting down the centre parting down the hair to create a Mohawk. Two Clip Ins added length and volume to the sides.
‘The Fan’ & ‘The Tulip’ Juste: Creating sheets of hair by slowly building this up before creating the pleated fan and sprayed with gold and wrapped around her head.
Ianthe: Sleek flower was sculpted to the front of the head with clips in added down the back into a double ponytail with plenty of texture.
Imogen: Working with a spider frame, Inanch plaited hair to cover the shape with basket weave. Three Clip-Ins were added for uber-volume for hair to tumble down with the spider-legs dangling over the top.
‘Flower Power’ – Daisy: A Clip In was added to a wire to sculpt into 12 large and 12 small flowers placed and sewn onto a chunky plait.
‘The Pirate Hats’ Nena: the spectacular sculptures wrapped in hair and with Clip Ins draped to flow and move with the model’s movement.
All of the preparation was made by Inanch Emir herself and was assisted on the night by her salon team members Lee McCrudden, Ivan Rachev and Alessandro Spitaleri alongside fellow Gold Class extenionists Anne Veck, Nicola Smyth and Elisa Didymus.
…and with a sprinkling of gold glitter, hair graffiti spray and gold make up; the models shone.
“This was my first real venture into the Avant Garde world and creating something experimental with our hair and I loved it. I spent a lot of time looking at various textiles and textures for inspiration before playing with the hair.” Inanch Emir
