KEY POINTS:
Hopefully by now you've realised that it would be the ultimate in follicular faux pas to request a haircut "like Rachel from Friends".
So which hot-headed celeb should your tresses be emulating this season? And, cor blimey missus, are you ready to dye your hair bright pink? Read on for tips on the sort of hair you'll be seeing on runways, in fashion magazines and possibly in your own mirror, from this city's best hairstylists.

Models Agyness Deyn and Anja Rubik are influencing some women to try a change of hairstyle.
I think people are a bit tired of the graduated bob. Both of those styles are a little shorter, the Agyness look being an update on a Mod-ish crop and Anja's shape being a softer adaptation of an 80's undercut which can be moved around in several ways.
On the other hand I also think that hair is moving into a slightly hippie phase. Lately I've also been doing some hair that's inspired by classic rock'n'roll hairdos, many of which feature centre parts. Hair is a little drier in texture and a little more matt looking. Even a little frizzy! And hair companies are beginning to formulate products that reflect this trend.
I think deeper hair colour is always better in winter as we don't get the same issues with sun fading and we tend to wear more constructed clothes.

What's really cool about hair at the moment is that a lot of it has a sort of punk feeling, which is giving what you'd call classic or conservative hairstyles a bit of a twist.
There also seem to be a lot more solid styles around, with blunt ends, a bit reminiscent of the Beatles bowl cuts. But while the exteriors are simple shapes, what makes it modern is that the interiors are a lot choppier and more complicated in the cutting.
We're also moving away from the bohemian, hippie, natural thing in colour. Bold, statement colour has come back and we're seeing more solid, block colours in exciting shades, such as peaches layered over light blondes, a lot more vibrant coppers and oranges as well as cool two-toned effects that are reminiscent of the 80s.

A lot of hair is looking what I'd call a lot more wiggy. Like Kate Moss' current style - it's slightly triangular and it almost looks like she's wearing a wig. Basically the silhouettes are simpler.
But there's also a 70s feel coming through and that involves hair that's bigger, wider and softer. Often there's a centre parting and some natural movement. There's a DIY feeling to that - hair is slightly longer, almost a bit dishevelled.
And bold colours are suiting the simpler cuts. Some of them are quite out there, and if you're game there's everything from bright pink merging with red to tangerine tones, to getting what you'd almost call a sunset effect.
I think in a salon scenario that would be watered down, with clever placements of a deeper colour or getting brighter colours merging, so you just get that hint of bright colour.
