I often get messages asking for a more in-depth look at the ‘twisting’ technique I use to achieve Trinny’s waves.

In today’s tutorial we discuss Susan’s current hair shape, explore different ways to refine it - and get to grips with the
‘Trinny wave’ technique.

Do let me know how you get on if you’re trying this at home.

Freya’s hair has been through the wringer, dyed one too many times, leaving her stuck with an accidental red shade that needed serious colour correction.

She wanted a balayage that actually looked intentional rather than grown-out, which meant Chiv had to step in as a true colour-matching wizard.

Because Freya’s hair was holding onto a patchwork of different underlying tones, Chiv had to expertly map out and match the various shades through her strands to build a completely seamless, high-end finish.

How do you think she did? 😍

Sometimes you just get that sudden urge to throw the rulebook out the window and say, “I’m in the mood to be brave.”

We’ve all been there: you mentally build up a look in your head - much like picturing an outfit before trying it on in real life. You end up holding your breath as the scissors come out or the colour goes on.

Let’s be honest, reality doesn’t always mirror the exact vision living rent-free in your mind. Sometimes it takes an unexpected turn, for better or for worse!

Donna came in ready for a change, and the full step-by-step tutorial is pinned right to the top of the profile ⬆️ just in case you missed it.

What I want to know is: When was the last time you made a “brave” decision in the chair, and did your hair actually turn out the way you imagined it? Drop your salon stories below! I would be so interested to hear about your experience from the other side of the chair👇

Can You Actually Have a Bob with Super Fine Hair? (The Secret is Texture & Movement)

If you have fine hair that always seems to fall flat, getting a bob probably feels like a high-risk move. Won’t it just sit there stuck to your head? Not if you know how to build the right foundation.

In this tutorial, we’re taking fine hair UP and showing you how to style it day-to-day—focusing on creating weightless texture, natural movement, and just enough body to give the illusion of effortless, thicker hair without overloading it with heavy product.

What we’re covering:

The Fine Hair Bob Myth: Why shorter lengths actually give fine hair more natural movement and life.

Creating Movement: Simple styling hacks that build piecey, touchable texture instead of stiff volume.

Everyday Quick-Style Routine: How to style your bob in minutes for a lived-in, effortless feel that holds up all day.

Weightless Product Prep: The formulas and techniques to lift the hair and add grit without weighing it down.

Say goodbye to limp, lifeless hair! Check out the full step-by-step breakdown to see how simple it is to get a textured, full-looking bob every single day!

What actually makes hair look “expensive”?

After Catherine returned from Switzerland asking for an “expensive hair” transformation, I wanted to break down what that luxury finish really comes down to from behind the chair.

It isn’t just colour, it’s about precision tailoring and structure.

Here is how we achieved Catherine’s look:

1. Tailored Haircut & Shaping: Sculpting face-framing layers and customised weight removal so the hair moves seamlessly.

2. The Bouncy Blow-Dry: Building maximum root volume and body that holds its shape.

Stay tuned for Catherine’s full tutorial , and let me know in the comments - what does “expensive hair” mean to you? Is it the cut, the bounce, or the shine?

Stop searching “will a bob suit me?” or “will a bob work for curly hair?” The answer is almost always yes, you’ve just been shown the wrong one. 

When most people start researching bob haircut ideas, they assume it’s a one-size-fits-all blunt cut. But there isn’t just one style - there are at least seven, including the French bob, textured bob, long bob (lob), graduated bob, stacked bob, and bobs with fringes.

Whether you have fine hair, thick hair, natural wave, or tight curls, every bob can be customised to your specific hair texture and face shape. 

The biggest myth about short hair for women is that your features determine if you can wear a bob. In reality, custom haircut layering, length, and weight placement are what make it work for your jawline, neck, cheekbones and hair texture.

For more insight, swipe through the carousel to see the breakdown of some of the many bob hairstyles available and learn how to choose the best bob cut for your hair type. 

Wondering which bob hairstyle suits you best? We’ll be going into more detail over the coming months. Comment below for with your questions 👇

Donna is back in the chair!

A few months ago, we gave her a super elegant, timeless bob, but today she came back ready to take the transformation even further.

We took her hair significantly shorter for a fresh, dramatic cut, and I walked her through my go-to professional blow-drying techniques for creating incredible bounce, body, and long-lasting volume at home.

Whether you’re thinking about taking the plunge and going shorter yourself or you already have a short haircut and want easy, salon-quality styling tips, this tutorial is for you.

Stop letting a haircut you had ten years ago dictate the hair you have today.

Most people are walking around with a haircut that doesn’t actually fit their face. Worse yet? We get stuck in a routine of doing what we’ve always done. While your underlying bone structure rarely changes over time, your face itself does—and continuing to wear a style just because it worked in your twenties is usually why you feel uninspired when you look in the mirror.

Here is the truth: we are almost always our own harshest critics, which makes us terrible at judging our own features accurately. If you want an honest answer on your true face shape, ask a close friend—they see you as you actually present, without the self-critical lens.

Slide through to break down each face shape, pinpoint your key characteristics, and learn the exact cuts designed to flatter your proportions.

My upcoming book, Face Shapes, will be out in a couple of months time and goes far beyond the basics. We dive deep into how to style for your exact combination of features; from deep-set eyes and a prominent nose to softening the jawline and jowls—so you can finally master what works best for your unique look.

Save this post for your next salon visit, share it with a friend who needs a reality check on their face shape, and drop a comment below with the shape you think you are!

Ever open your bathroom cabinet and get hit by a literal avalanche of hair products?

Welcome to Episode 1 of Cabinet Confidential: The Great Product Raid!

I’m raiding Carrie’s cabinets to clear out the chaos and tackle product overload. Because you don’t need twenty different bottles, you just need the handful that actually work for your hair type, routine, and texture.

In this episode, we’re doing a total product audit to find out what goes and what stays.

We’ve already had an amazing response and so many brilliant applications so far (thank you!), but this is an ongoing series, and we’re always looking for our next raid!

Want me to raid your routine next?
If your shelves are overflowing, or if you have a friend who urgently needs a product intervention - nominate yourself or tag them in the comments below, or drop me a DM with a photo of your cabinet. You might just see me at your front door next! 👇✨
