Haircuts this spring will be back to 60’s and 80’s
Hair designer sees folk hair styles, from the ’60s coming back
Get ready for Mod Squad hairstyles according to Vancouver hair designer Ian Daburn in an article by Angela Murrills this week in the Vancouver Straight.com. Here are some highlights:

“The biggest thing we’ve noticed this season is ’60s and ’80s [looks],” both individually and influencing each other, he says. Emphasizing the link between what we wear from the neck down and from the hairline up, he adds: “I think hair is definitely secondary to the clothes.” Stylists “don’t interpret hair. The fashion industry interprets it for us and we put our little stamp on it.” With fashion now: “There’s that folk thing going, the ’60s coming back.?Inspiration comes from architecture.” It all feeds the imaginative hopper along with his recent trip to Toronto, but while L’Oreals approach comes from Paris, Daburn tends to put his own spin on what’s happening in the U.K.
“The nautical look is big in the U.K. right nowThe nautical look is big in the U.K. right now,” he says. “With that, there’s a softer look [for hair]: ponytails, chignons?” And while in Vancouver men are still wearing the fauxhawk (”We’ve been doing that in London for seven years”), he predicts that gender-spanning nautical fashion will lead to a “heavier, more wet [hair] look” for men. He brings out the large book depicting cuts and colours that was sent to him just before L’Oreal Spring Rendezvous. “If I was to do this, I would still see texture,” he says of a classic fringed, longhaired ’60s look: Marianne Faithfull in her hanging-around-with-the-Stones days with, beside it, Rosemary’s Baby-era Mia Farrow, cropped and elfin. Channelling the 1960s means heavy “fringes”, he says (U.K.-speak for bangs). For women who have grown their hair long and wavy: “It’s a way to introduce a whole new look.” As for colour: “Blond is always back in the summer. What I’m hoping will be successful in Vancouver are these tones”–he points to iridescent shades of pale, pale lilac, and a fairy-tale-princess gold. Cuts inspired by the ’80s are not overblown Dynasty dos but typified by what Daburn calls “disconnections”. Meaning? “Two haircuts that shouldn’t necessarily be together, but they work. Too short underneath, or a layer that doesn’t necessarily fit the geometry” of the overall cut. Its equivalent are fashion’s current mismatched patterns and layers. Conversation turns to cuts that have ruled over the years: Farrah Fawcett’s layered curls, Jennifer Aniston’s face-framing lengths. Daburn adds that Sienna Miller’s “modern mod” look is the most-desired hairstyle right now. While in Toronto, he also learned about two new products from the TecNiArt by L’Oreal Professional line that help create a contemporary vibe. Fever for men looks wet but doesn’t feel crunchy, he says. Sprax for women is weightless spray wax that does wonders in terms of volume and shine. |
