Celebrity hair clinic; Crimp your style.


Byline: CLAIRE O'BOYLE

As crimped hair makes a comeback on the catwalks, Irish Daily Mirror columnist and celebrity hair stylist Andrew Barton Sir Andrew Barton (c. 1466 – August 2, 1511) served as High Admiral of Scotland. Notorious in England and Portugal as a 'pirate', Barton was a seaman who operated under the aegis of a letter of marque on behalf of the Scottish crown, and is therefore more widely described as  tells us how we can get the look at home..

 hair trend for fashionistas since the 70s.

Although firmly steeped in attitude when Toyah and Siouxsie And The Banshees (right) worked the look, crimping has been in and out of fashion ever since.

And this season it's back, but this time the high fashion crimp crimp

 is more about cool, random texture than a fancy dress comedy-look.

Hair stylist to the stars Andrew Barton says the trend has had a major impact on the fashion catwalks this season.

"Get ready to see crimping making it to the high street this winter," he says. "It's come out of the style closet and is making a huge fashion impression.

"Lagerfield, Mulberry, Dior and Prada all sent girls down the runway with their own take on the modern crimp.

"It screams confidence and wins on the fashion radar."

"She has totally ticked the fashion box with this cool look," says Andrew.

"It's fun, young, trendy and easy to create at home.

"So don't be scared to buy a set of crimpers and get ready to play and have a bit of fun with your locks."

Andrew's 8 crimping rules

(1) Always use a heat protector on each section of hair before you crimp - try my Andrew Barton Straight Answer Hot Iron Protector.

(2) For a modern twist, only crimp random sections so you don't end up like Kate Bush circa 1970.

(3) Crimp some sections just at the root and others at the ends.

(4) It can be great for adding volume to flat tresses, so give it a go for some oomph on a big night out.

(5) Crimped hair looks great tied up so pull it all back for a high, messy ponytail.

(6) Crimping works on lots of different hair lengths from a bob to long, flowing locks. But it doesn't work quite so well on shorter cuts - or past your 40th birthday!

(7) Use a gloss serum to polish your hair after crimping. Try a lightweight one like my Andrew Barton Gloss Boss Serum. It's non-greasy too.

(8) The best crimpers out there are by BaByliss and are what I've used for years.
