Post-lockdown Hair Trends

Post-lockdown Hair Trends that you are going to love!

Stylists are thriving back in the Salon and we have seen some amazing new hair trends to prove it. After months of being unable to get so much as a trim, it has been interesting to see the popular styles that are filling our Instagram feed since the reopening of Salons worldwide. Here’s a few of our favourites.

Go hard or go home

Whether it’s breaking away from the lockdown routine of the past few months or the excitement of finally having a trained Stylist to create whatever customers desire, we have seen some amazingly bold creations on Instagram. It’s been exciting to see new colours and styles being used, breaking away from a straightforward colour. Our Semi-Permanent No Limits range is perfect for creating bold colours like this.

Au Naturel

More than ever we are seeing customers looking to stop colouring altogether and instead embrace their grey hair! This may have been influenced by the closing of Salons, but do not worry, natural hair colour still needs lots of attention, including regular cuts and home care products, in particular our Aqua Boost care range, which is perfect for greys. Although braving the natural look may not be for everyone, we have had lots of stylists asking for help to get the perfect formula showing just how popular the new trend is. The transition will not be a quick fix and may take a few sessions, so make sure you join our OCS Global Stylist Forum for helpful tips and tricks. Here are a few examples of transitioning to a natural salt and pepper colour to match those lockdown roots.

Warm tones

Over the past few years we have seen a lot of cooler tones, but recently we have seen a shift to warmer tones instead. In particular we have seen lots of golden and honey colours, even warm beige and deep cinnamon. Here are a few heartwarming examples.

Summer pastel

Along with the sunshine, we have seen lots of gorgeous pastel colours making an appearance. This can be created by mixing our No Limits colour with the Aqua Boost or Power Build Treatment.
