As we head into the AW23 season, natural texture will step outside of the box with newfound freedom. Taking a cue from the customisation seen with contour cutting, hair textures are finding new ways to express themselves and that’s with free-flowing finishes and less structured styling. Whether your aim is curls that can command a room or gritty waves that effortlessly tie your style together, the fact of the matter is that natural, undone texture will be at the top of everyone’s must-have list this season. 

Start Off With The Right Cut

The right cut can add volume, help hide frizz or accentuate your natural texture. When the goal is free-flowing undone texture, the key comes down to picking a shape that suits you.

Take the bob for example. Almost anyone can wear this look, but a bob cut for someone with type 2A versus 3C hair will be very different. The contrast comes in tailoring a look to each individual — the hair type, density and texture type. 

When choosing a cut for undone texture, the silhouette will play a large part. Plan the finished look you’re after and then work backward with your stylist to get you there with the right cut.

Think About Colour Placement

Do you want to juxtapose your undone texture with a bright colour block or are you looking for a natural colour to match? Just as important as your cut, the colour can overhaul your entire look. With the ability to step into ethereal, grunge, or glamour territory, the placement and hue also help to accentuate your texture pattern. Colour can work with your curls or waves to contour the overall shape, creating movement where it’s most needed.

Invest in Care AND Styling Products

At the end of the day, you’ve got to take your new ‘do home with you. This means you’ll need to understand how to recreate the look. To ensure your texture is looked after, invest in KILLER.CURLS WASH + RINSE and KILLER.TWIRLS to take out the guesswork.

KILLER.CURLS WASH + RINSE sets the stage by defining curls and waves and getting frizz under control. Made from nourishing Oat Milk, rich in fatty acids to gently cleanse and protect the cuticle, this duo hydrates and strengthens while also protecting against colour fade.

Once hair is cleansed, trust KILLER.TWIRLS — an air-dry crème made for natural texture — to help nail the undone look while protecting against humidity and adding shine.
