‘The ’60s fringe is the big one at the moment as it’s textured. They can sweep it to the side, it’s versatile and a really hot trend at the moment,’ Ms Rota said. 

‘It’s just not so thick, so not a thick bang, she’s rocking it.’

Ms Rota said that clients have been asking for curls and said that the secret to achieving the perfect curl is through products.   

‘Not everyone has them or the natural curls, but we can definitely achieve it with products and using small tongs, to get that body into it,’ Ms Rota said.

Products for people wanting to get tighter curls would be a curl controlling treatment and anti-frizz creams.
