The look on the catwalks this spring is retro 'grunge,' a throwback to the sixties and seventies, featuring Uase eyelashes framing wide eyes, platform shoes and bell-bottom pants. And, while the trendsetters are advising women to complete the look by straightening their hair and parting it down the centre, niost women are resisting a full-fledged return to the sixties and are choosing simple, hassle-free hairstyles. 'Today's woman is more sophisticated than ever," says Maurice Fiorio, hair consultant to Braun Canada. "She dcesn't feel the need te, follow the trends in fashion and beauty. "Women are more self-assured and are more interested in achieving the best look with what they have than in re-inventing themselves every season at the whim of the industry." No one wants te spend countless hours in front of the mirror trying to change their hairstyle, and changing looks every season can be a nail-biting expeence. Wat really counts this spring is healthy hair tat requires minimal upkeep ad is easily controlled with styling tools and products. 'Women are concerned with keeping their'hair healthy," says Fiorlo. 'They ne longer want to change the texture of their hair but want* te work with it te achieve the.best look for them." To maintain well-conditioned hair, Fiorio advises women te get rid of the over-processed look and choose styles that requires lese fuss. 1 He also suggests using a difl'usor instead of a conventional hair dryer so hair dries more gently. John Donato, owner of three salons%'agrees. 'The diffuser dries hair at the roots first, for extra volume and body. And it's fot necessary te use a brush when styling with the diffusor, se the hair doesn't get pulled and damaged.'
