Time to give the primping and preening a rest and let your locks run wild (with a little bit of help)

Lay down your tools, hang up your hairdryer, this season we’re allowing our hair to do whatever the hell it wants – within reason, of course. At Versus Versace they embraced models’ natural hair texture: from voluminous curls to shaggy rough bobs. Ideally, you’d air dry and roll out the door, but if you fancy playing with your hair before the party, there’s a whole heap of products that will help your locks look big and beautiful.
