Change is good and it’s fun to switch up hairstyles especially before or in the middle of the holidays.

Haven't we all been thinking of which style will take us right through our break, look fantastic for our Insta travel posts we can throwback to next year plus will be easy to maintain in this heat and survive the beach or pool?

What if you get bored? Or don't want to commit to one colour? Here's some hair inspo for you.

Rainbow hair
