News & Inspiration

With the changes in season and new weather conditions ahead of us, we may notice differences in the health of our hair, making winter hair care especially important. Seasonal changes can be harsh on all hair types, causing everything from split ends to static and dryness. 

In the heart of central London, our Fitzrovia hair salon is where our skilled hairdressers work to bring your hair to life. Our second salon based in Esher offers the same unparalleled, luxurious experience as our Fitzrovia site. As leading experts in our field, we’re here to share our autumn and winter hair care advice to keep your tresses as healthy and hydrated as possible.

Protect your hair

It’s essential to prevent exposure to extreme weather this autumn and winter, for the condition of your hair. We suggest, protecting your hair like you would your skin this season, by keeping it safe from the cold. One way to achieve this is by styling your hair in protective hairstyles, from braids to buns, that help to prevent damage. You can use hats and hoods but may want to adopt a protective barrier such as silk in between, to prevent breakage and static and protect your perfectly curled locks or bouncy blow-dry. Product-wise, we recommend the Oribe Alchemy Range to reduce hair breakage. The hair-strengthening shampoo, conditioner, and treatments blend ancient superfoods and phyto-technology to renew weak, fragile strands.

Avoid hot water

As tempting as it can be to take a steamy shower or a hot bath to warm up from the chill of autumn and winter, we recommend being mindful that the water and steam can draw out the moisture from your hair, making it more prone to breakage. Using lukewarm or cool water to rinse off your hair can be beneficial as it seals the cuticles, keeping brittleness at bay and making your hair look shinier as a result.

Book regular trims

How often you trim your hair, really depends on on your hair type, the style of your hair and your styling goals, but we can conclude that regular trims are the best for your autumn and winter haircare. Trims every four to eight weeks are a great way to keep your hair in optimal condition. We would suggest taking off at least half an inch each time to reduce the opportunity for split ends.

Don’t wear your hair wet

When it comes to your autumn and winter hair care, it’s important to acknowledge that wet hair is more fragile and vulnerable to damage than dry hair. Going outside with wet hair can cause hair to freeze and break, so we would strongly advise not to. Although heat damage can also affect your hair, we would recommend blow-drying your hair on a low setting with a heat protectant spray or lotion.

Skip hair wash day

Overwashing your hair can strip it of its natural oils and cause your hair to lose moisture. By extending the time between washes, even by a day, you can offer protection to your tresses.

Introduce extra hair care regimes

Autumn and winter hair care can involve introducing some extra steps to your hair care routine. Whether it be through weekly hydrating masks, the use of a leave-in conditioner, or serums and oils to seal your ends, treating your hair with some extra treatments will help to keep it healthy this season. At HARE & BONE, we suggest treatments such as the Nou Nou Davines mask which restores hydration and body to the hair on a deeper level. 

Use a humidifier

The heaters we use inside during the autumn and winter can dry up the air around us, causing hair to lose moisture. Purchasing an air humidifier can help reduce frizz and allow hair to retain its hydration levels and stay silky smooth all season, providing better autumn and winter hair care against the harsh environment.

Boost hair growth

If you feel like your hair growth slows down during the colder seasons, this could be due to less exposure to natural vitamin D from the sun, which can have an impact on your hair’s natural growth cycle. We recommended introducing vitamin D through supplementation or by taking a look at your diet to incorporate more of what’s essential for hair growth.

If you have fine hair and have been considering getting it cut into a bob, you may be wondering if this will work for your hair type. The great thing about the bob is that it can be adapted to work for fine hair, due to its versatility and all the different types of bobs that are available. There are also plenty of ways to style a bob to make it look fuller, for example, a wave to your hair will give finer hair body, no matter which bob style or length you opt for. As one of the most stylish hair salons in London (at our Fitzrovia salon) and Surrey (our Esher salon), we have listed our top ten bob hairstyles for fine hair below, to give you all the inspiration that you’ll need.

1. The classic bob

 The classic bob is one of the best bob hairstyles for fine hair. This is a timeless choice generally falling between the chin and shoulders. It’s even in length all around giving it a clean and polished appearance and making it easy to style. It’s great for fine hair because the blunt ends give structure and weight to the hair.

2. The shag bob

Shaggy bobs work wonderfully on fine hair as they offer volume and plenty of movement. You can go longish or short with plenty of layers. They work especially well on naturally wavy hair, enhancing its texture to create a fuller and thicker appearance allowing you to embrace and showcase the natural hair pattern.

3. Microbobs

Microbobs have risen in popularity this year, finishing around the jawline. Just a little longer than a pixie cut, micro bobs will suit fine hair as they can make your hair look thicker because your hair tends to be wispier on the ends and thicker at the roots.

4. Inverted bobs

Inverted bobs, also known as graduated bobs are making a comeback and they are such a flattering cut because they can be customised with different lengths and styles and can provide both casual and formal looks. The angular cut where you keep some length at the front, will give the illusion of thicker hair.

5. French bob

The French bob usually hits just below the jawline and features great face-framing layers and curtain bangs which can make your hair look thicker around your face. It’s supposed to be styled with a natural look, making it perfect for those with wavy or curly hair too. The choppy cut is ideal for finer hair as it gets rid of any lengthy weight for maximum volume.

6. Butterfly bob

When looking for the best bob hairstyles for fine hair, the butterfly bob is an exceptional choice. This kind of hairstyle will add movement, texture and volume to the hair. It provides an extra flair with blow-dried curtain bangs that frame the face, resembling butterfly wings, and providing a touch of volume. The layered style provides the fullness that fine-haired clients often struggle to achieve.

7. Outgrown bob

An outgrown bob has the ease of still being able to put it back in a ponytail. They can look stylish in an undone, more relaxed way and require less maintenance than other styles. These can work well with fine hair due to their versatility and work particularly well with more tousled, beachy looks.

8. Asymmetric bob

Asymmetrical bobs can be stunning on fine hair, as the uneven cut can create a sense of dimension and add volume. The angular style which features longer lengths in the front than the back, can highlight the thicker strands which frame the face, therefore diverting attention from any thinning at the crown.

9. Side parted bob

A side-parted bob can is one of our best bob hairstyles for fine hair. Generally, it can look less harsh than a middle-parted bob and create an instant lift to the hair. If your hair starts to drop, you can flip it to the other side. Side-parted bobs can look elegant and edgy at the same time making them a versatile choice.

10. Blunt cut bobs

Last but not least, blunt cuts have a solid, clean line that minimises split ends and frames the face beautifully. They can give the appearance of fuller hair as all the hair at the bottom gets cut off creating the impression of more depth.

In the dynamic world of hair fashion, a new metallic hair colour trend is emerging with shimmering brilliance, sophistication, and warmth. Inspired by Olympic medals, these shades are making a statement beyond the podium ceremonies. At HARE & BONE, we embrace change, and these metallic-inspired hues offer the perfect way to refresh your look this season. As one of the best salons in London and Surrey, with hair salons in Fitzrovia and Esher, let’s explore how these metallic hair colours are reshaping hair trends and why they might be the perfect choice for you.

Golden Blonde: The Ultimate Glamour

Golden blonde hair has always been connected with luxury and opulence, and this year it’s making an even bolder statement. This metallic hair colour exudes striking brilliance and radiant elegance, embodying a sun-kissed shimmer that is impossible to ignore.

Look beyond the standard blonde for those ready to embrace the golden allure. Modern golden blonde includes a spectrum of warm tones, from buttery soft highlights to bold, metallic hues that reflect light with every turn. It’s a metallic hair colour that conveys that you’re not just aiming for the top, you’re setting the standard. Pair it with a sleek, polished style or soft, beachy waves to elevate your look and capture that glow. Whether you’re naturally blonde or looking to make a dramatic change, golden blonde can be tailored to suit your skin tone and personal style.

Silver: Sleek Sophistication Meets Futuristic Flair

Silver hair has been making a strong comeback for a while now, but it’s never looked as popular as it does in 2024. This shade brings an air of futuristic sophistication to the forefront, making it the perfect choice for those who love a cutting-edge aesthetic.

The beauty of silver hair lies in its versatility. It can range from a subtle, icy platinum to a deep, steely grey, depending on your lifestyle, hair texture, and personality. This colour works beautifully as a full head of silver or as highlights that frame your face. Or consider a silver balayage that blends seamlessly with your natural colour, adding dimension and depth to your style.

Bronze: Warm and Earthy Elegance

Not a third-rate colour, this warm, earthy tone is super versatile and popular in our salons.

Bronze metallic hair colours range from rich, coppery tones to soft, sun-kissed highlights. It’s a diverse colour that complements a range of skin tones and adds a touch of warmth to any look. Whether you opt for a full head of bronze or subtle highlights, this colour brings a sense of warmth and sophistication to your style. It’s ideal for creating a natural, glowing appearance that reflects your inner beauty.

Enhance Your Metallic Hair Colour with Davines Alchemic

To maintain and enhance your stunning new metallic hair colour, we recommend the Davines Alchemic range. This luxurious line of colour-enhancing shampoos and conditioners is specifically designed to keep your gold, silver, or bronze hair looking vibrant and fresh.

We’ve always believed in the power of beauty that doesn’t compromise the health of your hair or our planet. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Davines and their groundbreaking approach to regenerative farming. We visited their farm to see first-hand the positive impact they’re creating.

Regenerative farming goes beyond traditional organic farming methods. It focuses on restoring and revitalizing the health of the soil, biodiversity, and ecosystems. This is important for many reasons.

• It promotes biodiversity by preserving native plant species and creating habitats for wildlife. This ensures a healthier ecosystem for future generations.
• It enriches the soil with organic matter, helping to capture and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change and reducing our carbon footprint.
• Sustainable farming techniques minimise water usage and promote efficient water management. This conserves precious water resources and protects aquatic ecosystems from pollution.
• Regenerative farming techniques such as crop rotation, cover cropping, and composting improve soil structure, fertility, and resilience to erosion.

At HARE & BONE, both at our Esher and Fitzrovia hair salons, we’re committed to making a positive impact on the world around us. By embracing Davines’ regenerative farming practices, we’re not only transforming the way we care for your hair but also contributing to a brighter, more sustainable future for everyone.

Spring/Summer trends are here and our Colour Director and Art Team member, Amelia Evans, talks us through some of the key colour trends to consider this year.

Mushroom and expensive browns are popular with celebrities such as Hailey Beiber. These colour trends are perfect for previous balayage blondes who are looking to embrace their natural selves and also still want to have dimension. Adding a face frame or some gentle lights will elevate all-over colours and create light-reflecting natural tones.

Cherry Cola, yes, think of your fave fizzy sweet and how sparkly and rich they are then visualize this beautiful tone, full of burgundy red and warm brown tones. This is the TikTok colour of the moment, very grunge and Y2K colour trends are still massive within fashion.

Vanilla Latte Highlights – this is for those who are bored of being super blonde and want a more lived-in sandy approach to their hair. Adding some lightened areas using a selection of highlighting techniques, a glazed glossing of honey and a slight pearl pinky tone over the top will complete this beautiful, multi-dimensional feel.
