As the leaves begin to fall from the trees and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time for an image overhaul ahead of the new season, and changing up your look isn’t just limited to splurging on a wardrobe full of new designer clothing and luxury accessories.
The way you cut, colour and style your hair can have just as much of an impact on your overall aesthetic, and going back to the drawing board to reimagine how you wear yours could give you the new lease of life you’ve been craving and have you feeling like a million dollars again this season.
From rich autumnal hues to sleek styles and voluminous glamour, there are some exciting high-end trends just waiting to be tried out, and this season, hair is taking centre stage as the statement piece of your aesthetic. Here’s a look at the most striking luxury hair trends to experiment with for an elegant makeover that will ensure you stay well ahead of the fashion curve.
Voluptuous volume and sculpted waves
One of the standout trends for autumn 2024 is luxurious volume. Nothing exudes a sense of opulence quite like bounce, body and movement, and this season it’s all about sculpted waves. Drawing on old fashioned Hollywood sophistication but taking on a thoroughly modern twist, this look is all about loose but carefully defined waves that reflect the light to ensure plenty of shine, for a perfect combination of structure and texture that’s all finished off an ethereal glow.
The key to achieving this playful yet endlessly elegant look is in the preparation, and working thickening sprays and volumising mousses through the hair whilst wet will make a dramatic difference to the end result. A salon-quality blow dry will take the look to the next level, adding lift and shape as it smooths and curls. The result? Polished, bouncy waves that are soft to the touch – without even a smidge of crispiness in sight.
If your hair lacks the natural length or volume to create this look, or on the contrary, is thick, unruly and difficult to style then UNice HD lace wigs are a great way to achieve it with minimal fuss – and allow you to change up your look quickly and easily with other styles when the mood strikes.
The sleek, shiny bob
Seasonal trends are often polar opposites, and autumn 2024 is no different. But although bouncy waves couldn’t be further apart from the sleek, shiny bob, one thing both looks have in common is the refined and luxurious air they exude.
This look is all about precision and shine, and is the very embodiment of minimalist chic. This season, razor-sharp edges and ultra-smooth texture brings this timelessly classic style bang up to date, and the gloss factor is set to reach new heights with moisturising oils applied to wet hair and locked in during the drying process, finishing with a blast of cold air for added shine and just a touch of smoothing serum to add that mirror-like sheen.
Rich, multi-dimensional colour
One of the most exciting things about autumn hair is the opportunity it brings to experiment with colour, and deeper, richer tones like chocolate brown, auburn and chestnut – all reminiscent of the colours of the leaves as they fall from the trees at this time of year – are hues that come around time and again.
For 2024 there’s a focus on warmth and complexity, with multi-dimensional shades adding depth and intrigue through intricate balayage and colour melting techniques for a natural yet thoroughly show-stopping look.
If you feel like you’ve done it all before though, and are looking for an extra standout look this season, then why not throw caution to the wind and try one of the jewel tones that have been spotted on the season’s catwalks? From deep burgundy to more daring sapphire and emerald, these hues promise to bring a new air of excitement to your look – but be sure to work with a highly experienced colourist who knows how to use them in a nuanced way to create a sophisticated and avant-garde look that exudes elegance, not overkill.
