GO SHORTY
Hot right now: From short and chic grown-out bobs to high-impact pixie cuts it's all about experimenting with texture, says Overton. Don't forget that less hair doesn't necessarily mean less work - you'll need to be prepared to style it regularly and commit to trims every six to eight weeks. "If cut correctly, a short style can be more versatile than longer lengths," he explains. "Be sure to ask your stylist to customise your crop to suit your hair, face shape and lifestyle."
Insider secret: For a sleek evening look, slick back your crop with a malleable gel like Clairol Professional Swap It Shaper Gel, $19.50.

MIDDLE GROUND
Hot right now: "The long bob is still here, and I don't see it going anywhere," says Overton, explaining the versatile length (just as sexy as long locks) has an ability to flatter a range of styles and colours. A blunt finish is classic and chic, while the current trend is for a "dirty bob" with lots of layers and movement, taking hair-spiration from Kate Bosworth and Jennifer Lawrence.
Insider secret: Create a new look by experimenting with part lines and adding texture with TRESemme Perfectly (un)Done Wave Creating Sea Foam for Soft Waves, $10.99.

LONG STORY
Hot right now: "There's a 'glamour grunge' feel about flowing lengths," says Sam Overton, Unilever creative director for TRESemme. "From extreme versions like unfussy texture and haphazard centre parts to subtle and soft romantic waves, long hair is cool and carefree this season." Prevent it from looking drab by asking your hairdresser for layers to give the illusion of fullness.
Insider secret: This look requires constant care, so keep your lengths in check and use Goldwell Dualsenses Pure Repair 60Sec Treatment, $24.95, once a week.
