Add some sun-kissed ends with balliage—a hand-applied method Belinda Jeffrey’s spring hair tips of colouring like painting.

Don’t go for solid, heavy colour: “It’s not about blanket coverage.” But similarly, there are no stripes and chunks of colour when adding lowlights and highlights: “It’s about one colour with shimmering different tones.”

Redheads should look to Julianne Moore’s coppery tones for inspiration.

Blondes are moving away from harsh, white blondes. Instead, think warm, tasty shades like honey, cream or caramel.

Brunettes beware—it’s not about going lighter for summer. With skin tones getting more olive in the summer months, this means hair goes darker, too. Try rich, warm chestnut browns, nothing with a red undertone.

In the same way that colours are not solid, cuts are not blunt. Long layers will soften your look. Ditto fringes—opt for side fringes rather than blunt-cut heavy fringe.

It’s all about movement—free-flowing styles with shimmering colour. So all up, it is so spring and so very now!
