In the wake of recent fascinations with shoulder-grazing lobs and subversive buzz cuts, the head-turners this winter seem to share one signature asset: long, enviably healthy hair. Given its bohemian associations—one imagines a ’70s-era Joni Mitchell on the road, miles from a pair of shears—it might seem that all it takes to go the distance is a laissez-faire attitude and an amicable breakup with your stylist. Not so: Those strands, which have survived a battery of blowouts, hair ties, and indelicate brushing, need a considered maintenance strategy—no less so in cold weather, when humidity drops and metaphorical gold turns into straw.
With the Fall collections just getting started, this month promises plenty of waist-grazing role models, both on the runway (Frederikke Sofie, Jean Campbell) and in the front row, where a well-kept head of hair is both street style accessory and personal statement. “Long hair softens my everyday tomboy aesthetic—[it] makes easy double denim or a mannish tux more feminine, more romantic,” explains British Vogue contributing editor Laura Bailey. In that spirit, we polled fashion insiders about the go-to masks, salon routines, and nourishing supplements that keep their most covetable feature in photogenic form.
