Themed Candiland and inspired by the expressive and bold hair trends from the local and global festivals such as Coachella, Rocking the Daisies, Burning Man and AfroPunk, this year’s Trend Report comes just in time to brighten up the mood and put spunk in this year’s winter season.

“We’re quite thrilled about the prospect to present this year’s hair trends, which are quite funky, playful, bold and really girly at the same time.

“Our company is about de-racialising, destigmatising and revolutionising the hair and beauty notions. We want to give our cis -and gender non-confirming clients the strength and confidence they need to feel beautiful and confident. A great hairstyle can make you feel 10 times more beautiful,” she adds.
