Jacqui is the head honcho at True Grit, dealing out style advice along with stunning cut and colour ‘dos. She catches Cityscape up on the trendiest hair for spring, how to get the most out of your grey hairs and get excessive shine.

What’s a hot style for the season? It’s all about beautiful shapes that accentuate your best features. It doesn’t necessarily have to be an out-there haircut, but I tell you what we’ve been doing a lot of lately and we’ve been having fun with is the mullet.

Really? Tell us more. In the salon we call it the ‘femme mullét’. I actually sport one myself. We recommend that if you have a super edgy haircut like that, you back it up with serious colour as well.

Wow, so what colour are you rocking with your femme mullét? Today I have a cocktail of tropical with a splash of copper and fuchsia.

Speaking of colours, what’s in this spring? This season is all about shine. Beautiful seamless blonde with hair that’s in luscious condition. L’Oréal has just released a French Glow product. It’s great for blondes, brunettes and everything in between, but the real advantage is it’s giving the ultimate in shine. It’s unbelievably amazing. Seamless colour is very ‘now’ as well, and balayage. The other thing that’s happening a lot is women are going deliberately grey. They’re letting their colours grow out and we accentuate it with some silver fox sort of colours. They’re embracing the natural grey and it’s looking amazing.

What’s your must-know style tip? You do not need to wash your hair as often as you think. With the styling products we have these days you can get away with layering product on product and create an amazing look.
