It's one of the most defining 'will I won't I' hair moments in a gal's life: continue with same, old long style – or be brave and go for the chop.

And it seems that Rochelle Humes has embraced the latter option – cutting her trademark flowing tresses into a shorter, sexier bob.

 

I've been brave today

Suffice to say, however, that The Saturdays's singer has certainly made the right choice: she looked all sorts of ah-maze-ing in an Instagram snap she shared with her fans.

First showing a pile of long hair on the hairdressers' floor, she next posted an image of her revamped look – with numerous commentators commending her for taking the plunge. 

The 26-year-old mother-of-one seemingly also inspired plenty of others to do the same. 

"I'm getting mine cut similar to this nxt week I'm fed up with long hair," stated one fan, adding: "I'm crap at styling it so may as well cut it off lol." 

"I love this!! I've always loved this cut I think maybe after next summer i might cut my hair!" reported another.

Hmmm, we feel a major trend coming on.

Ms Humes, who has been married to JLS singer Marvin since July 2012, had her locks tended to at the George Northwood salon in central London's swish Westminster. 

Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is also a client there.

Jennifer Aniston and her famous ‘Rachel’ style were coveted by many for years after she first debuted the layered look on the sitcom Friends.

But while people everywhere were lusting after her locks, Jen has admitted that she herself was not such a huge fan. In fact, she refers to the hair cut as a "big, horrible mistake."

The actress claims the famous style did not have any real staying power.

“He [hairdresser Chris McMillan] gave me the 'Rachel', which was a big, horrible mistake. I mean, it was great at the time, but it was a never-ending legacy for some reason.”

Probably because many people were massive Rachel and Jen fans, and she pulled it off very well.

“It only lasted for about six months because it just was hard to do. I loved it, but I couldn't style it on my own. So Chris also just has that way of [making me be] completely reliant on him."

Well, now we know that celebs like Jen really are just like us. Everyone knows that washing and styling your hair for the first time after a big style overhaul can be a bit tricky.

 

Luckily for Jen, her hair stylist has given her some pro-tips so that her at-home hair routine is pretty much foolproof.

She told Allure that Chris has trained her in the art of the blow dry and she has perfected the art of the “big round brush” blow out.

"I'll whip that out and get a really good arm workout at the same time," she said.

At this point, we all know that there are certain beauty trends that require more work than others. 

One of these is opting to go blonde. Your coveted golden shade can be particularly elusive and leave you feeling annoyed when your hair takes on a more brassy appearance. Blonde hair can be very difficult to take care of. 

However, if you get it right, it can be a fabulous shade and you will possibly never go back. Unless of course you are Kylie and can afford a ridiculous amount of hair care experts to be at your beck and call. 

If you cannot in fact keep up with that chameleon Kardashian, then try these tricks to keep your blonde locks healthy and glowing:

Know your water:

Unless you are washing your hair in filtered and bottled water (which would be quite impractical and a bit odd), then it could be your water that's damaging your hair. The hard water in your showers can penetrate porous, colored hair which over time will alter the colour. 

Your shampoo frequency:

The more often you wash your hair, the faster it can appear yellow or brassy, as shampooing tends to strip the color pigments. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know dry shampoo is the key to going longer between washes. If you're completely adverse, you can always rinse your hair with water and then condition as normal.

All of the purple:

Purple shampoo and conditioner is much easier to get a hold of than it was previously. However it still requires some expertise. If you overdo it, instead of lightly toning your hair, you'll end up altering the colour already there. Use either pupple shampoo or conditioner (but not both) only once a week and allow for two or three minutes before you rinse it out.

Here at SHEmazing! we’re going to be totally honest and admit that we probably couldn’t get through the week without our trusty bottle of Batiste dry shampoo.

It’s cheap, it’s effective – and on more than one morning it’s given us a coveted extra 30minutes in bed. Bliss!

However, experts (think hairdressers and trichologists) are now warning that using it too often can lead to a host of problems: itchy flaky scalps, pimples, sores and even hair loss – including bald patches.

That's because dry shampoo isn't actually designed to be used every day (oopsies) as an alternative to washing.

So, how often is too often?

Apparently once a week is plenty (eek!) and dry shampoo should only be used on clean hair as a styling product – NOT as way to get three days out of your blow-dry.

Hmm, is it enough to persuade us to put down the bottle? We reckon if your hair is relatively healthy and strong, then there's no need to cut back just yet. 

However, if you're experiencing problems with your tresses AND you're something of a dry shampoo addict, it might well be time to re-think your styling schedule. 

You have been warned!

While the summer season can see a lot of ladies heading for lighter hues, there are no rules that say you can't go lighter for winter. 

Balayage, which in French means "to sweep," is a highlighting technique that hair colourists use to freehand paint on the hair colour to make it look more natural. So, if you want to change your hair colour with some subtle lights that grow out seamlessly, then balayage is the way to go. 

Or perhaps you're feeling more adventurous? Have no fear, because  a quick scroll through Instagram was all it took for us to find some serious hair inspiration. We put together a few of our favourites, it was tough to narrow it down to be honest.

This is the kind of balayage we dream about:

Even darker locks can try the trend:

Length is not a obstacle:

Purple? Grey? Blonde? Whatever the colour it looks flawless:

That grey hair trend doesn't seem to be going away:

A rosé ombré perhaps?

OK, this one is extreme but we kind of love it:

There has been a huge number of beauty trends exploding all over the internet in recent months.

Whether it's strobing for your face, trying to keep your brows on fleek (without dyeing them rainbow colours) or even baking your face there has been something new to try every week.

As for haircare, first there was contouring and now something even MORE bizarre.

For anyone who missed the great tie-dyeing adventures of the Nineties, it basically required you to tie elastic bands around a t-shirt then dip the fabric in different colour dyes.

Hair colourist Rickey Zito is now applying the technique to hair.

Probably important to note that this hair is bleached beforehand, for optimal colour intensity. No one wants a dull tie-dye effect to be fair.

Rickey of course makes the process look very simple as he separates the hair into large sections. Then he uses cloth ribbons to separate the sections again and make sure the colours are separated.

The results are definitely different.

Rickey is obviously a huge fan of ALL hair colouring trends – his Instagram feed is full of rainbow coloured locks.

 

Whip it good.. #hairgod_zito #headrushsalon

We're kinda tempted to give this a go… but maybe we'll test it out on a t-shirt first.

She the adorable only daughter and youngest child of pretty much the hottest couple on the planet – so it's no surprise that Harper Beckham is quite the cutie herself.

Indeed, and although she's still only four, she's become something of a mini-fashionista in her own right, certainly giving North West and Penelope Disick a serious run for their stylish money.

Key to the little one's look, of course, is her mop of gorgeous blonde hair – which at this stage reaches down to her bum.

Now her dad, David, has spoken of his love of her look, stating that he simply won't allow a barber's scissors anywhere near her locks.

In conversation with Yahoo! Style to promote his new H&M campaign, the former footballer revealed: "About a year ago, my wife said, 'Maybe we should cut Harper’s hair.' 

"And I was like, 'No! We need to grow it. Do. Not. Touch.'"

In fact, despite now being four – a birthday she marked in July – the youngster has NEVER had her hair chopped. 

"Since she was born, we haven’t cut it," David admitted. "That’s why it’s pretty much down to her knees."

Noting that his mother, Sandra, used to be a hair stylist, the 40-year-old furthermore revealed that she sadly didn't pass on any tips to him. Still, that hasn't stopped him from tackling his sons' unruly manes.

"I do cut my sons’ hair from time-to-time. When they have a buzz cut, I do it.

"If I have to use scissors, the boys know not to ask."

She's had a load of different hair styles over the years: long and flowing, or short and cropped, Jennifer has sported everything from chocolate brunette hues to sun-kissed light tresses.

But now the 25-year-old Oscar-winner has really gone all out: dyeing her hair a bright and brilliant platinum blonde.

Fans spotted her new look during the filming of sci-fi thriller, Passengers, which she is currently shooting with Chris Pratt in Atlanta.

And while she had also been seen out jogging with her dog last Sunday – hints of light blonde strands peaking out from under her baseball cap – this is the first time that we've been given a decent viewing of Jennifer's oh-so amazing peroxide hair. 

Ms Lawrence is being paid a cool €18m for Passengers – twice what Mr Pratt was able to negotiate.

Due to be released next year, it is being directed by Morten Tyldum – who received an Oscar nominated last year for his work on The Imitation Game.

Nicki Minaj is not afraid to make some interesting style choices and we have definitely seen her sport some pretty interesting wigs from time to time.

However, the star stepped out in LA recently sported a much more laid-back look than we were used to. It looks like Nicki is the latest celeb to take the blonde plunge as her hair has been completely transformed.

Rather than go for a complete peroxide style, it looks like there has been a serious colour job done on Nicki’s locks.

Her hair has a multi-toned type colour going on currently and her darker roots definitely make for a more natural, grown-out style. She’s also rocking a serious fringe right now, which we’re slightly tempted to try.

Of late Nicki had been keeping her hair dark, and even in her GQ cover shoot with boyfriend Meek Mill didn’t wear any of the brightly coloured wigs would we have seen her wear in the past.

While she didn’t surprise with any hair transformations in her interview she did reveal that she first fell for boyfriend Meek when he was in jail last year.

She explained that she reached out to “his people” and asked them to call her for him. When Meek heard the request the two ended up talking for hours.

“I remember sitting on my balcony at my house and just being on the phone with him until it started getting dark outside. And I was just like, ''Yo, I'm in trouble.''' I just knew that first day. It was that long conversation.”

She also added that their relationship is genuine, not a publicity stunt and after ten years in the industry she doesn’t want to keep it a secret:

“When I came in the business, you couldn't tell people you were in a relationship, because record company and management said that doesn't make you appealing to men.”

You might be a bit hesitant of this one – but believe us, it works. 

Apple cider vinegar is a weird, but great way to step up your beauty game. 

This multi-tasking ingredient can be used to prevent acne and even make nail polish last longer, but that's just the beginning!

Take a look at these…

Skin soother

Add a cup of apple cider to a bath filled with warm water and soak in it for 15 minutes.

The pH level of apple cider vinegar is similar to the pH level of the protective acid mantle layer of your skin, so this soak will help restore the balance. 

Facial toner

Mix together one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and two cups of water. Moisten a cotton ball, and swipe over your clean, dry face.

The vinegar's natural alpha-hydroxy will stimulate circulation, as well as minimize your pores. Don't worry about the smell either, it will pass quickly. 

Hair rinse

Mix two tablespoons of vinegar with one cup of water, and use it inbetween your shampoo and conditioner routine. It will remove any residue, to leave your hair strong and shiny. 
 

Sunburn relief

Mix 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar with four cups of water. Pour the mixture into a cloth and apply to your sunburned skin.

The pH level will promote healing and prevent any nasty blistering. 

Razor bump remedy

Moisten a cotton ball with diluted apple cider vinegar and swipe over the problem area.

The anti-inflammatory properties of the vinegar will sooth irritated skin and the acetic acid softens skin to help with ingrown hairs. 

Bruise healer

Soak a cotton ball with diluted apple cider vinegar and secure it to the bruised area with a bandage. Leave it on for one hour.

The properties in the vinegar calms injured skn and increases circulation and healing.

The arrival of the autumn season is derided by some, and heralded by others.

But whatever camp you find yourself in, there’s no denying that the end of summer forces you to update your look.

Out are the flip-flops and flimsy skirts – you root around and rediscover scarves, jackets and hats that haven’t been seen since March.

Our diets are given something of an overhaul too… because no one wants to be munching on carrot batons and Caprese salad when there’s a chill in the air.

And it’s important that we don’t neglect our tresses either: in fact, September is just about the perfect month to update your hair.

It doesn’t have to be drastic, but a few tweaks will really tick you over into winter and through the festive party season.

SHEmazing! spoke to the experts at Toni&Guy in Dundrum Town Centre – which recently marked its 10th anniversary – for top tips and expert insight into hair trends for 2016.

The result is three key, achievable looks that have oodles of wow-factor. Better still, these are looks that you can try at home RIGHT now…

 

1) A twist on your lob: if your long bob of the summer has grown out to a medium length shape now all is not lost… Until you can make it in for your next cut create a Forties glamour feel with structured waves to bring you through to A/W.

You’ll need:   

  • Heat protection spray (we love Label.m’s Protein Spray, priced at €17.50)
  • Hair Spray
  • Volume mousse
  • A curling tongs or waver                         
  • A bristle brush (again, Label.m has a stellar offering for €16.40)
  1. Shampoo and condition your hair before gently towel drying. Next layer your heat protection spray through the hair followed by the volume mousse, carefully taking sections and distributing evenly. 
  2. Hair can now be blast dried. Using your fingers to brush through the hair, dry it roughly in the direction of where your parting will be. Hair needs to be 100 percent dry.
  3. Clip away the front sections and begin to wave your hair with waver, starting from the back, working forwards taking 10cm sections. The curler or waver will create an effortless effect.
  4. Once you're satisfied that the curls have cooled and set, tease the hair out into a more 'lived-in' feel.
  5. Secure hair on one side behind the ear for an asymmetric feel and finish with hair spray.

 

2) Beach braids be gone: The classic ponytail takes over from summer braids bringing a more groomed and glamorous feel for autumn/winter. Best done on day-old hair this is a time-saving, stand-out look.

You’ll need:   

  • Back-combing brush
  • Hair jewellery or accessories (Toni & Guy has a particularly cool range)
  • Volumising spray
  • Hairspray (Quick Dry by Redken, priced at €14.20, is a good bet)
  1. Part your hair to the left or right with a low exaggerated, side parting.
  2. Apply a volumising spray in crown area and tease/backcomb to create a low beehive.
  3. Secure into a ponytail at the nape of the neck.
  4. Adorn shape with a pretty hair jewel at the front or to the side.

 

3) Sleek and shine: Wet-look locks are still a fashion fix must-have. Make the style ultra-wearable by creating an edgy, sleeked-back look. 

You’ll need:  

  • Volume mousse
  • Extra strong gel (take a look at Label.m’s version for €13.90)
  • Hairspray
  • A length of black elastic
  • Wide-toothed comb
  • Bristle brush
  1. Apply some extra strong gel from roots to ends on dry hair.
  2. With your comb make a spotless clean centre parting. Using your brush, slick and secure in to a low ponytail.
  3. Wrap the length of elastic along the ponytail.
  4. Finish with some hairspray. 

 

As well as on-trend hair and styling services, Toni&Guy Dundrum boasts lots of lovely added extras such as head massages and giant reclining chairs at its basins. Refreshments on offer include – hurrah! – herbal teas, red and white wine, and cold beers so you can REALLY relax.

For months she was seen at high-profile events sporting an array of eye-catching wigs in black, blonde and even blue.

Kylie Jenner later admitted the reason behind her love of artificial hair: her own tresses were seriously damaged after years of dyeing, styling and straightening.

However, the sacrifice seemingly paid off – and she marked her recent 18th birthday by swapping to a gorgeous ashy blonde.

"It took months of not dyeing my hair and wearing wigs to get my hair back to health so I can do this!!" she explained on Instagram while unveiling her new look.

So why is Ms Jenner, and just two weeks after the dramatic change, now back to wearing wigs?

Donning bright green, mermaid-style locks, she was on hand to launch the Sugar Factory American Brasserie in NYC – to which she also wore a stunning ivory crop top and matching pencil skirt from surprisingly affordable Aussie label, Zachery. 

Although known for her love of mega-expensive designers, Kylie's outfit cost just €125 in total – €52 for the top, and €72.50 for the skirt.

Still, it was very much her hair that proved the talking point of the event – with many fans speculating that the reality TV star's bleached mane is already suffering.

Indeed, in recent days her mop has certainly looked tired and stressed, with the originally 'dirty blonde' hue turning to a more brassy shade. 

As well as successfully launching the Sugar Factory, an event to which hundreds of fans and photographers showed up, Ms Jenner is enjoying something of a boon in popularity since turning 18 last month.

Despite the presence of numerous other high-profile celebrities, she and her rapper boyfriend Tyga, 25, have been the toast of New York Fashion Week.

Yesterday, she also modelled pieces from her brother-in-law Kanye West's new Yeezy season 2 collection, the unveiling of which took place at the Skylight Modern venue in Manhattan's swish Chelsea district. 

That and the app that she unleashed this week is proving to be a runaway hit.

And on social media, she is still the world's most viewed user on Snapchat, while on Instagram she now boasts some 36million followers. 

 

I love you guys so so much.
