Still hot, the dip dye takes a new direction in 2014. Organic colour expert, Karine Jackson's brand new technique 'melange' is a subtle take on the look. She says, "For brunettes it's all about grungy shine, for blondes try a crisper shade and blend with pastel tones."
Celebs like Nicole Scherzinger and Cate Blanchett have been rocking this look recently. "Back brush sections of hair from nape up to curvature of the head, take the hair above these sections and wrap under, gripping hair at the nape to give illusion of a bob shape," says Artistic Director at D&J Ambrose Luke Benson.
The wet-look style is a massive trend for 2014. Looks to celebs like Hayden Panettiere and Glee's Lea Michele for inspiration. "Simply mix your favorite serum or oil with gel and apply the mixture to your hair using a comb to slick the hair back. Finish by running straighteners over the mid lengths and ends," says Kai Wan, Director at Pkai.
Balayage is fast becoming the alternative to the dated foils technique of highlighting. "It's versatile and modern, giving a sun-kissed look to the hair which grows out naturally rather as opposed to the heavy colour you get with foils. Think of model Poppy Delevingne as the poster girl for this look - it's all about looking as though you've just come back from a sun-drenched Caribbean holiday," says stylist Jack Howard.
No duck lips. Fake sleeping. Or 'just woken up' with a full face of makeup. A spectacular selfie is an art. Filters like Inkwell or Willow in Instagram will wash out those lines and dark circles. And be honest. For example: 'check out my amazing gym body' is better than 'LOL my bathroom mirror is filthy'

This season a vivid rainbow lite up the catwalks drenching the new season in delicious head to toe brights. On the high street Very and Vestry have the best must-have colour block and pattern pumps for around £40.
Good old black and white has had a face-lift. Monochrome patterns with texture were all over the catwalk. If you have a big budget or want inspiration check out Victoria Beckham and Diane Von Furstenberg. But for high-street chic try both Hobbs and The Vestry.
Big patterns with an ethnic twist plunder ideas from around the world. Harem pants get a big pattern makeover (Izabel) and at the sleeker end of the trend pair a print skirt (Monsoon) with a colour block top.
Folded skirts, shirts and tailoring are hot this season. For inspiration or a splurge you can't get better than the Salvatore Ferragamo cotton and leather skirt.
It's like double denim. It just feels so wrong. But this season florals are big, bold and in your face. But the key trend is floral on floral. We promise you it won't be all Britney and Justin circa 2001. Check out the McQ floral prom dress and Untold floral sweater.
