If you plan on putting up your hair, think “romance” - it’s the flavour of the season.

“A lot of clients want something romantic. More definition to the curls and yet everything is structured,” says Mike Lau, art director of Signature Snips Hairdressing. “Now, people go for sleekness, shine and definition. The style is more romantic in a casual way,” he adds.

“A few years ago, it was more classical and modern but now ‘up-dos’ are more retro, soft and flowy,” says Philip Chan, the chief artistic director for SizzaMagic Hair Studio.

Think Audrey Hepburn, he suggests.

Super straight, rebounded hair is a thing of the past as “so what if it’s messy?” curls and waves make a return

. Chan and Lau are glad as both love working with wavier, curlier hair.

“It’s much easier to put up your hair if it’s permed because texture-wise it’s easier to handle,” says Lau.

For one, when straight hair is put up it tends to create a “severe-looking” effect.

“Proper make-up, interesting earrings and an attractive neckline could soften things up,” he continues.

Those with frizzy hair who plan to put up their hair on their own will face quite a challenge because, as Lau puts it, “Frizzy hair tends to go which ever way they want.” And they need not straighten their hair as Lau believes there can be innovative ways to put up frizzy hair.

He advises: “If you have a round face, put your hair higher on your head to elongate your face. If you have a square face, soften your look with curls at the side of your face. If you have an oval-shaped face, you’re blessed, as most hairstyles tend to go well with the shape.”

Adding sparkling hairpins or other hair ornaments to your up-do is fine but don’t go overboard. Four to five years ago, people went to town with them but now “less is more”, says Chan.

However, both say that it is difficult to pin down a specific up-do style as it depends on the personality of the client or the function she’s attending.

I dyed my hair a light copper brown and got some blonde highlights. I highly dislike the haircolor choice because i wanted a darker brown rather than what I actually had done. I was wondering if there is any possible way I can get my natural color back which is a medium brown, and how long should I wait to get it dyed to my natural color?

Have you dyed your hair and are unhappy with the results? When it comes to corrective hair coloring, each case is unique, because no two hair genetics are exactly alike.In Michelle’s case she will be doing a tint-back which is an easier process than correcting a hair color that is too dark, but still tricky. These questions need to be answered:Do you have regrowth ( roots ) showing?

• Yes? Then the roots will need to be treated separately from the rest of your hair. It helps for a hair colorist to see about an inch of regrowth Hair colorist needs to see about an inch of regrowthin order to match that as closely as possible. Seeing that you want the color darker, the hair colorist would use a formula that will work best for tinting back the color that exists now. It takes some know-how to get this right, not only in the formula, but also in the application. You could do a lot more damage by trying to correct this yourself. The condition of your hair can only be assessed by someone taking a look at it. My guess is it can withstand a color back at this point.
• No? Then you may be able to get help by calling the company hotline on the back of the box of color you bought. They will ask you a number of questions regarding your hair history and it’s present state. They will advise you on the best route to take from the information you give them. Don’t do anything unless you are clear that the advice you gave them was correct.
