Hair trends may come and go, but this season we're lucky enough to have three great looks to go to work with - there's short and sweet, long and textured and bobbed to perfection. And with the New Year upon us and spring only a couple of months away, it's the perfect time to try a new look.
Just take a look at the celebs to see this season's styles in action. Dannii Minogue pulls off the perfect Parisian bob - cheeky and sharp, it's the fashionista's hair cut for the season ahead. And whether you're dark or blonde, it's a style winner. If you've been blonde for a long time, trying a shade of chocolate from light and milky to dark and moody might just be the way to go! Try the new handbag-sized Andrew Barton Gloss Boss Super Shine Serum to make sure your hair glistens all day.

Pixie Geldof wears the cutest of crops. It's trendy, just a little bit edgy but sweet at the same time, and when worn textured, it's a great look for those with smaller frames and features. Try the Andrew Barton Hold It Right There Hair Spray to fix the hair into place, perfect in a handbag size, too.
Cheryl Cole hits all the right buttons with her tousled and textured mane. Gone are the extensions and in their place a sexy, ruffled look just past the shoulders. It's bang on trend and looks gorgeous. For girls with longer locks, keep hair moisturised and in great condition and health with the Andrew Barton SOS range.
Up-dos
The answer to great up-dos, from perfect pony tails to plaits, is all in the prep
Pony tails- a classic style, but very much back in fashion.
Use a styling product like Andrew Barton I Love Volume Mousse before blow-drying. The mousse gives fantastic holding power to the hair and protects it from the elements. It also gives a great fibrous texture, making the hair easy to work with. Blow-dry the hair with a paddle brush, working through it section by section to get polish and smoothness. Once the hair is dry, apply a tiny drop of Andrew Barton Gloss Boss Shine Serum. Rub it between the palms of your hands and gently pull your hair back off the face, raking your fingers through your hair to distribute the serum. This will seal any split ends and even out the texture, ensuring your hair is super smooth. Carefully brush your hair with the paddle brush to create the perfect polished finish. Decide where you want the pony to hang - either perched high at the crown or low on the neck - and brush the hair into place. Secure the hair with a Blax hair band rather than a rubber band as they're kinder to the hair. Catch any stray hairs with a tiny drop of Gloss Boss for the final polish.
Plaits- bang on trend, whether they're worn loose, tight or used to create texture.
Prepare your hair before plaiting with a styling product like Andrew Barton's Big Hair Lifting Juice, which gives the hair a brilliant boost and creates texture, too. Use plaits randomly to secure hair away from the face - taking a section either side of the parting is a casual way of dressing hair without it looking like you've tried too hard. Don't use a comb, just your fingers and make sure the plait either side is a different size and plaited loosely. Secure the ends of the plaits with a Blax hair band or a piece of cotton. Then dress with accessories, depending on the occasion. Use plaits to create sexy, rippled and textured hair without blow-drying or setting. Take six large sections around the head and randomly plait them. If hair is wet, either sleep in the plaits or use a hairdryer to dry the hair. Unravel the plaits and loosen the hair with your fingers.
Accessories
Combined with pretty hair accessories, having a pony tail or plaits is a great look for the spring. Try tying brightly coloured threads, ribbons and yarns into your hair, using the look inspired by Madonna for her hit Holiday and Cyndi Lauper during the 1980s.
Textured waves - perfect for long hair
Waves are easy to create, from beach-style waves to glam retro waves, but the secret is ensuring that the hair is not too curly and in good condition.
For shiny, healthy waves, ensure your hair is top condition by treating it to a deep-conditioning mask twice a week. Try Andrew Barton's SOS Treat Me Deeply Hair Mask - just leave it in for three minutes, rinse and you'll be left with shiny, frizz-free tresses. Apply Andrew Barton Frizz Tamer Styling Crème to wet hair down the whole length, plus a few drops of Andrew Barton Gloss Boss Shine Serum to the ends to add shine and definition. Use regular or conical-barrelled tongs for maximum effect on blow-dried smooth hair. Wrap the hair around the tong horizontally rather than vertically to get a great wave effect. For beach-style waves like the Olsen twins, take damp sections of hair (five to six sections should be enough) and coil them into a big 'O' shape. Pin to the head and use a hairdryer to set the hair. Once the hair is dry, take the pins out and unravel the hair with your fingers. Apply Andrew Barton Straight Answer Hot Iron Protective Spray and then use a diffuser or tongs to enhance the waves - it will also protect your hair against the weather and help your waves last longer.
The finishing touches
Whatever your style, add a little product to complete the look. It will make all the difference, giving you that shiny, just-so salon finish. Try Andrew Barton Hold It Right There Hair Spray and Gloss Boss No Frizz Shine Serum, now available in handy smaller sizes that are just perfect for your handbag, so you can look good all day whether you're at work or play.
