London Fashion Week is coming to an end (sob). And while we’ve loved all the wild and beautiful looks from runways, the truth is they’re not always so wearable IRL. The solution? To take hair notes from the street style stars who flock to this star-studded event, of course!

Keep on scrolling to see the street style hair we’re obsessing over and start thinking about how you can incorporate them into your life…

LFW FW19: Street style hairstyles to wear IRL

1. Statement hair clips

It may only be the first fashion season of the year but we’re calling it, 2019 will be marked by statement hair clips!

From pretty pearl adorned to scripted varieties, if you haven’t got one of these accessories featured on your Instagram feed yet, now is the time.

Wear yours clipped at the temple with soft waves or under a high bun.

2. Double braids

We know what you’re thinking, boxer braids are so last season, right? But this season it’s all about upgrading your weaving skills with not one but two weaving patterns.

This dark haired beauty started with a Dutch braid before switching to a fishtail style to finish off her boxer braids ‘do.

 

 

Editor’s tip: Make braiding your hair easy by using TONI&GUY Flexible Hold Braid Balm.

The perfect on the go companion and handbag must-have, this braid balm gives hair added structure and flexible hold when styling.

3. Hair tuck

So simple we wonder why we haven’t always been doing this clever hair hack.

The hair tuck is perfect for the winter months when we’re covering ourselves with chunky knitwear and big coats, so get in on this trend before summer hits.

4. Headbands

From the runway to the high street, it’ll be hard not to spot this trend. Yes, we’re talking about headbands.

Wondering what to look out for when it comes to this LFW trend? Look for bold hues and satin fabrics and wear yours with unpolished styles like a messy updo or air-dried hair, basically, minimal styling required!

5. Half-up bun

Half-up, half-up down buns have served us well. It’s often our go-to style when we’re rushing out of the door or half-way through a workday, so to see the style at fashion week feels like a win for us.

The no skills needed hairstyle works on those with bob length tresses to long Rapunzel manes, so there are no excuses not to wear this LFW trend.

6. Glass hair

Beauty lovers may already be familiar with the glass skin trend but now it’s the turn of glass hair.

So what exactly is glass hair? High shine tresses with precise cuts are the hallmarks of this trend.

 

 

Editor’s tip: To achieve this high gloss finish, reach for TONI&GUY High Shine Serum Drops.

Work 2-3 pumps between fingers and smooth through dry hair to tame frizz and give a glossy high shine finish.

7. Pink hues

If there was one colour to be spotted wearing at LFW it was most definitely pink. We spotted everything from highlighter hues to this more subtle (and let’s be honest, more wearable) muted shade in the fashion capital.

We love how this stylish babe paired her neutral outfit with a pop of pink hair colour for a modern take on a ’70s-inspired look.

8. Hair pendant

We’ve seen throwback styles likes snap clips and even ’90s bucket hats make a strong comeback but hair jewellery we have to admit is new to us.

Using a jewelled pendant attached to a strip of ribbon is not only creative, it instantly makes this otherwise undone style look more fun and purposeful.

9. ’90s style

With grey skies looming, this style is not only practical for rainy days but it’s also become one of the hottest styles to wear according to the fashionistas.

From ’90s bucket to OTT fisherman, hats are this season’s most practical way to protect your mane.

Editor’s tip: Creating textured hairstyles, like this one, requires the trusty TONI&GUY Matt Texture Dry Shampoo.

It has oil-absorbing properties, which have the added bonus of giving your mane a cool-girl, textured finish.

About to become a member of the #braidsgang? Well, you’ll be pleased to hear that when it comes to braids, you don’t have to stick to just one colour anymore.

In fact, showing off your box braids with bold shades of pink, orange or yellow is the way forward this season.

9. Blonde brigade

Do blondes have more fun? Well, one thing’s for sure: whether it’s ash blonde or bronde, this hue still reigns supreme on the streets of London.

Editor’s tip: If you do decide to join the blond brigade, make sure to get your hands on the TRESemmé Violet Blonde Shine Shampoo

Using a purple shampoo in place of your normal shampoo once or twice a week helps neutralise brassy yellow tones and revitalise your colour. Plus, this one gives intense nourishment, so it’s great for overprocessed hair.

1. The sleek crop

There’s no doubt that pixie crops will always remain stylish, but we were especially drawn to the way that this Fashion Week attendee styled her ‘do.

As you can see, her relaxed hair has been slicked back for a sophisticated and casual effect.

Editor’s tip: To get this bold look, use some of the VO5  Mega Hold Gel Spray onto your dry or damp hair, before brushing all your strands back. Then, add another few pumps after styling to keep your hair looking slick, shiny, and smooth, all day long.

Lucky enough to have a bold and beautiful afro hairstyle? To make the most out of it this season, really fluff it out, like this street style maven has done. The bigger hair, the better the style impact, right?
