The stylists unleashed some of their best kept styling secrets as they used OSiS to create some uber chic trends.

Out of the plethora of hair styles, the 2 distinct themes were:

• Young & Trendy – The femme fatale this season can best be seen thorough a quirky, mix-and-match of deconstructed styling, youthful and edgy with layered detailing. Brunettes dominate this trend which is a blend of functional discipline, chaotic textures and shapes with short solid outlines and flexible fringes. This cut revels in a very sensational look that embraces playful individuality with shots of contrasting shades of warm and cool tones that combine well and accentuates the skin tone.

• Classic – takes its inspiration from the stylish women of the 60's with lots of volume and curls hitting just the right note of cinematic glamour. Curls are piled and tumbling, straight hair is either full and natural or sculpted for perfect evening soirees which exude the apt sultry trend of the classics. Colors are deep darks or golden, soft highlights or warm lowlights add interest. Intense tones deliver glorious gloss to every strand. Strong partings, neat and soft edges with high shine and movement are the perfect components describing the classic styles.
