Emerging hair trends at London Fashion Week

The new season's love affair with all things dark and decadent translates in to a flurry of fabulously extravagant gothic inspired hairstyles in the hands of the stylists for SS10’s London Fashion Week.
One thing we can take from this latest run of back-to-back catwalk shows is that for Spring/Summer 2010 it’s all in the hair - and bigger is most definitely better.
Asymmetric clip on fringes were found at Paul Costelloe, whilst Wella created punk with feminine softness at Charles Anastase.
A new take on “beachy” saw stylists going for fresh, messy and textured with some added rock chic. It was all about contrasts - there were sleek roots mixed with long loose messy ends
Margaret Howell transported the fashion pack to a makeshift beach where session stylist Neil Moodie used Bumble & Bumble Prep and Surf Spray to create that damp, tousled “I've-been-in-the-sea” texture. Chunky, loose plaits were woven in from the crown of the head under a thick suede headband.
Luella was all about the big bright patent coloured hair bows as styled by Guido. Big volumized hair was then pulled back into a tight ponytail and bound into a rough messy bun. Messy but still chic, we'll be wearing this style all day and well into night come March.
Buns were also present during Christopher Kane, although this time they were affixed firmly to the side just below the right ear. His asymmetric fringes were styled alongside wispy ends and loose side partings.
High ponytails were taken up a notch at Jeremy Scott’s ‘Flintones-style’ show. The scraped back styles came complete with punk-rock inspired crimping, glitter and bones, instead of bows, for accessory.
While the overall looks were strong and striking, the hair was ambitious and awe-inspiring – giving us a lot to look forward to over the next few months.
