January might be a bit of a rubbish month, but it’s a great time to think about updating your hair. The start of a new year brings ideal opportunity to refresh your current look and get healthier, more gorgeous hair for all of 2017! If you’re not sure where to start, we’ve listed five super easy ways to update your hairstyle, hair colour, and hair care routine.

New hair, shear style!

If you’re feeling brave, or just fancy a change, a restyle is a great way to get a fresh start to 2017. Nothing says “new you” like a fresh new hair cut. Work with your stylist to find the perfect cut to flatter your hair’s colour, texture, your personal style and also your face shape. Here are a few simple tips to point you in the right direction:

• If you have fairly long hair but don’t want to lose length, adding in some long layers will add body and movement.
• If you have curly hair, layers really help curls to bounce and give great volume.
• Don’t be afraid to try something dramatic if you want to. Set the tone for an exciting new year!

Upgrade to gorgeous with colour

Why not make a bold move by changing your hair colour? Whether you decide to cover up a few greys for the first time, have been colouring a long time, or want a change from home dyeing your hair, our stylists can help. From deep, dark all-over tints to creamy, glossy blonde highlights, we have an expert in every look you can imagine. Give your local Raire branch a call to book a free consultation.

We only use professional Paul Mitchell colours. These are free of harsh, damaging chemicals and packed with nutrients that make your hair softer and stronger. Best of all, your stylist is there to help you choose the most flattering shade based on your hair and your natural style… And you haven’t got all that cleaning up to do in the bathroom afterwards!

Don’t forget about dangerous UV damage

During summer, we go to great lengths to protect our hair from harmful UV rays. It’s easy to forget, when the cold weather kicks in, but the sun shines just as strongly all year round. To keep your hair looking and feeling its best, be sure to use styling products with UV protection , especially if you colour your hair. The sun does more damage than you’d think, leading to premature fading and damage. Using protective products designed by the experts will help you lock in colour, moisture, and shine – if you’re unsure, just ask your stylist and they can recommend a suitable product.

At Raire, we’ll help you get great results based on your unique hair type and style! Our friendly team of certified colourists and stylists will help you choose the right change for you.
