From the elfin fringe to the modern mullet (yes, really), hair stylist and Dyson ambassador Larry King introduces the season’s new looks

THE MODERN MULLET

Larry’s tip: ‘The modern mullet cut is not for the faint-hearted. You have one length around the forehead and another on the cheeks. It’s grungy but you can soften it by blow-drying the hair to a smooth texture.’

THE CUT FOR CURLS

Larry’s tip: ‘This cut for curly hair uses layers to create a modern feel of a 1980s look, which is all the rage at the moment. Apply a smoothing product to soaking wet hair — not towel-dried, it has to be really wet. Diffuse hair by drying on medium heat and speed, trying to touch your hair only with the diffuser to minimise frizz.’

THE ELFIN FRINGE

Larry’s tip: ‘To make this elfin look work you have to ensure your micro fringe is cut well above the eyebrow but still has enough length to be broken up and not sit rigidly on the forehead. Use a small round brush to blow-dry the fringe, keeping airflow from above, drying all of the fringe forward. To finish, use your fingers to separate.’

THE BEATLES BOWL

Larry’s tip: ‘The modern take on the 1970s bowl cut — it’s shorter than a crop but cooler than a pixie cut. Apply your volume product to damp hair to give your hair slight control when blow-drying and then use the air flow of the Dyson to push the hair from side to side as if you are wrapping the hair around the head. This way it will sit nice and straight.’

THE JET

Larry’s tip: ‘The key to adding a rock’n’roll twist to your hair is plenty of mousse and then rough drying with your hairdryer, working the hair between your fingers like you’re sprinkling salt. Keep the airflow pointed downwards so that the look stays flat at the roots with the most amount of texture at the ends.’
